Android Question Fatal Message in Log

[JohnD]

I get the message below when I compile my app and it installs itself. I get it right after I try to uninstall it through Settings. It does not uninstall through settings. I have to do it through a menu option.

Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1), thread 20235 (ackageinstaller)

Try reinstalling B4A, also, make sure you have the most up to date Android SDK, make backups first

I reinstalled b4a. I installed the most current Android SDK first. Same fatal error message when I attempt to uninstall from Settings, applications. Same behavior if I use the debug key or the license key. When I install a prior version of the program with the debug key, it uninstalls cleanly from Settings, applications with no Fatal error message. It's strange because I don't go past the main activity before exiting and trying to uninstall.

The problem was the size of my project icon. For some reason I had an icon in this project with width = 1599 pixels and height = 1599 pixels. It a resolution of 300dpi this translated to a file size of around 96k. My Samsung Galaxy SIII had a problem when it loaded this file into memory at Settings, Applications - thus the memory error and the quit of Uninstall at this screen. When I shrunk the file size of the icon to 512 x 512, keeping the same resolution, problem gone.

The app icon doesn't have to be that big either, a 72x72 will do.

Thanks.
