Application can not start on Samsung Galaxy Tab SII

Question

I have worked many projects with no problems. But in current project, I tested on Samsung Galaxy Tab (GT-P7300), the application cannot start. The screen flash when I run it, then exit to home immediately (no force close message, the home screen just immediately pops out). The LogCat show these errors:

03-14 16:18:41.060: E/AndroidRuntime(4144): Set to default setting_6 : region=-Duser.region=US propRegn=US

Consumer closed input channel or an error occurred. Channel is unrecoverably broken and will be disposed!

Other message from LogCat:

The program works well on LG GT540 and Samsung Ace.

What is causing this problem? I searched the error message and found a lot of people encountered it, but there is no clear solution.

EDIT: More information, I tried on Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000, running Android 2.3.3), it works well too. And when I try it on Android SDK Emulator with a 3.0 device, the program also flash then disappear. So only Android 3.0 (maybe also 4.0) throws this problem.

Answer 1

Like a. ch said, I also have seen this with not enough memory issues, also packages having been left installed with the same package id, and even if the graphics are needing to be resized. With that said:

If you are supporting multiple screens I would ensure there are graphics in each MDPI, HDPI, XHDPI respectively, and that they are optimized and set to the appropriate DPI . That should ensure all devices and API levels play nice.

Even if that isn't the root of your problem, it is good to ensure for best practices when it comes to performance and reliability.
