BUG: createWindowSurface failed EGL_BAD_ALLOC

Question

I have an application on Google Play for counting down numbers and letters. In this application I have the following activities:

• google sigin
• archivements

Answer 1

I had the same issue and found that the problem is related to WebView(s) and hardware acceleration on some devices.

Instead of turning off completely hardware acceleration, I disabled it for all my WebView(s) including the AdMob view!

Here how to do it:

adView = new AdView(this); //or get it with findViewById()
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
   adView.setLayerType(AdView.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null); //instead of LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE
}
