app crash on close

When I exit my app (app.stop()), a strange segmentation error occurs: http://pastebin.com/F8HEaeip

This is with sdl2 and kivy 1.9.2 dev. It works fine with pygame, what makes me puzzled.

The requirements list: requirements = openssl,geopy,plyer,android,tinydb,hostpython2,kivy==master

What could be the reason of this crash?

Here’s the problem I experienced (with crash in the same place):

Nobody destroys the app Window by default. Then long after Python is gone (“Python for android ended.”), Java will call back via Activity.onPause() into SDL native code, which then references a stale Android_Window in Java_org_libsdl_app_SDLActivity_nativePause().

Workaround:

You must call WindowSDL.close() before the app exits the main EventLoop.

An ideal way to do this is to handle the event in App.on_stop():

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.core.window import Window

class MyFancyApplication(App):
    def on_stop(self):
        Window.close()

# ...

# somewhere else:
App.get_running_app().stop()

I believe this is no longer happening on p4a master. Recently I was testing this type of thing while getting pause to work with sdl2.0.9
