I'm using AndEngine with the PhysicsBox2DExtension to make a game. My game keeps crashing and I get this in the unfiltered LogCat:

Can anyone explain to me what's going on and how I might find what exactly is causing the crash?

There are two places in my code where it crashes, but it's fairly random when it does. After executing this method:

private void destroyFiller(){ //Deletes filler
        if(filler[fillerNum].active){
            Log.e("destroyFiller","Destroying filler");
            filler[fillerNum].active=false;
            filler[fillerNum].body.setActive(false);
            scene.detachChild(filler[fillerNum].sprite);
            fillerCount--;
            fillersLeftText.setText("Balls left: "+Integer.toString(fillerCount));

            if(fillerCount==0)
                gameOver();
            Log.e("destroyFiller","Destroyed");
        }
    }

And after executing the indicated line in this method:

private void levelComplete(){
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                 Toast.makeText(TestGFX5Activity.this, "Level Complete", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });
        Log.e("Level Complete","Going to reset values");
        //Reset values
        level++;
        destroyerNum++;
        fillerCount = (originalNumberOfFillers + level - 1);
        areaFilled=0;
        fillAreaPercent = 0;

        //Rid scene of sprites
        for(int x=0;x<=fillerNum;x++){  
            filler[x].body.setActive(false);
            scene.detachChild(filler[x].sprite);
            filler[x].active=false;
            filler[x].scale=originalSpriteScale;
            filler[x].body.setUserData("inactive");
        }
        levelText.setText("Level: "+Integer.toString(level));
        fillersLeftText.setText("Balls left: "+Integer.toString(fillerCount));
        percentFilledText.setText("0%");
        fillerNum = -1;

        Log.e("Level Complete","values reset");

        randx = random.nextInt(650) + 25;
        randy = random.nextInt(400) + 25;
        randix = random.nextInt(10);
        randiy = random.nextInt(10);
        if(randix%2==0)
            ix = 5;
        else
            ix = -5;
        if(randiy%2==0)
            iy = 5;
        else
            iy = -5;

        Log.e("Level Complete","Creating destroyer");
        destroyer[destroyerNum] = new Ball(randx, randy, destroyerTR, getVertexBufferObjectManager(), ix, iy); //crashes here
        Log.e("Level Complete","complete"); //This line never reached.
    }

You should use addr2line tool as described here and lookup these two addresses in your library to find what causes the crash:

#02  pc 00026558  /data/data/com.prattia.webs.testgfx5/lib/libandenginephysicsbox2dextension.so
#03  pc 00013e7c  /data/data/com.prattia.webs.testgfx5/lib/libandenginephysicsbox2dextension.so

So under Windows you should:

  1. Copy the library from device:

    adb pull /data/data/com.prattia.webs.testgfx5/lib/libandenginephysicsbox2dextension.so C:\

  2. Run addr2line tool for it using command line:

    cd %PATH_TO_YOUR_NDK%\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3\prebuilt\linux-x86\bin
arm-linux-androideabi-addr2line -C -f -e C:\libandenginephysicsbox2dextension.so

  3. Enter adress by adress:

    00026558 [ENTER]
> here will be function name and line
00013e7c [ENTER]
> and again

Note: running this tool under Windows may give you less information than under Linux, so you may choose to install the distro as a virtual machine and follow instructions from the link to original answer above.

Update

Another (easier?) way is to use ndk-stack:

  1. As previously
  2. Save your dump into file. Let's call it 'dump.txt'.

  3. Run ndk-stack:

    cd %PATH_TO_YOUR_NDK%
ndk-stack -sym C:\libandenginephysicsbox2dextension.so -dump C:\dump.txt
