Sounds like a surface or something called AbsoluteLayout couldn't be created - by the looks of the java code, there isn't a test to see if either is NULL (although Java may be using an exception to process the message).

Can you see which device and android its was on. Its can been property a missing resource of some sort. Its impossible to supports all devices.

im do cant see which line its was happens, because your AE version is different than mine. So you should attachement the version of SDLActivity.Java you used for the game.

Hi

The device it says is
X500_USA_General (X500)

Android version 2.3.3 - 2.3.7

So probably fairly isolated crash?!
