Android App Woes

[Dan Friedman]

Ok… I found something!   When my app launches, it opens a second stack.  It’s this second stack that I enable acceleratedRendering.  If this stack’s acceleratedRendering = true, then we crash on re-entry.   On a whim, I thought, “maybe there’s a problem in LC if there are multiple stacks open and their acceleratedRendering settings are not the same?”.  So, as a test, when I set the acceleratedRendering of stack B, I also set stack A to the same setting.  BAM!   It’s stopped crashing when the app is resumed.

Can anyone confirm this behavior?  If so, we’ll get it listed as a bug.   And we’ll have a work-around until it’s fixed.
