Hi Everybody I have made an app and used Menu with Image. The screen sometimes opens and sometimes directly closes the app without opening and without any notification. I have Android 4.1.2. It is working fine with version 2.3.... Pl. can anybody sort out this problem.

I'm not sure if the crash is indicative of the menu_with_image plugin. I've had similar experiences happen whether I used that as my menu, some other menu, or no menu at all. What I have found, is that if your app requires a resource (gps signal, network connection, url from the net, whatever...), and one isn't available at the time your app launches, it may crash. It's never been consistent enough to completely track down, so I've just chalked it up to Android Weirdness. I'm compiling for v2.2+, but I'm testing it on a Jellybean device (my Android Galaxy Tablet). However, my apps haven't crashed enough for folks to complain about. Yet. Cheers! -- Smug

I have found that some app killers leave something in memory to cause this behavior. While it appears all the data associated with the killed app is also cleared, it is not. Everytime I use the Android settings application manager to kill the app and clear the cache the crashing goes away on next start. I started putting a note in all my apps in Google Play about app killers causing intermittent crashes.

Also, Android runs into memory issues at a much higher frequency than does Apple. The same images that work flawlessly in iOS will cause a consistent crash in Android. Be sure you are using PNG-8 images wherever possible. If you have to go higher, use PNG-24. Unfortunately, this will happen regardless of the device, too. Android only allocates a few megabytes of memory to each application, and most of that is taken up by the core application processes. Try to load an image that's a couple megabytes in size and you won't get very far. I've also noticed that the Garbage Collection (the process of clearing out the memory when it gets too full) is not great at all. In my opinion, if I load a screen that takes up most of the memory and then switch to a new screen that will fill up the remaining memory, the first screen should automatically and without fail be dumped from memory. But that doesn't always happen - and so we get crashes. There are two reasons why I prefer iOS over Android - this is one of them. (The other is ease of design on iOS due to a very limited number of screen dimensions). But, we live in an Android world...

Hi... The Problem is The Imagesize.... Just make ist 320 Pixels instead of 1500.... Then ist Works in Android... Also with PNG24 with Transmap....

Hi everybody. Thanks a lot for all your solutions. The problem is now solved. I have done as said by Worker73 and it is solved. I am also satisfied with Chris1. I think the problem was with the High quality Image which android cannot allocate into memory hence it crashes. I used 320 pixel images and now it worked fine. Thanks a lot to everybody for sharing their solutions.

You are welcome...

Glad you got it working! :)

I had a png that wasnt converted correctly and it would also always crash in android, it had me confused for quite a while.
