Crashing

I see the following error as soon as the camera opens in android’s adb: 10-22 19:53:02.178 2902-2922/com.floto E/Surface: getSlotFromBufferLocked: unknown buffer: 0xf40d3f80

I’ve tried with the latest version 22.10 i think, and I still see the same error and I see the emulator crashing. With 21.4 I still see the error, and I see camera crashes and it alerts “Can’t connect to the camera”, but at least the emulator doesn’t crash and neither does the app.

It’s weird. When i create a new emulator with same configuration I see built-in camera app is working. If I use the built-in camera a number of times I can eventually make it crash the emulator. I posted an issue to android here. After emulator crashes, I relaunch and open the built-in camera app and it says “Can’t connect to the camera”. If I use android 7.1.1 emulator I don’t have any problems using the emulated camera. My emulator images are all newly downloaded from a couple days ago, and android studio as well. Everything is freshly installed.

I’m going to try my app on android nougat 7.1.1. I’m guessing there will not be any issue there. You know I had everything working on my windows station with android 6, but now I just switched everything to ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
