Why application is dying randomly?
I am developing an music player app. All works fine except the app dies suddenly. Sometimes this happens when the app starts, and sometimes after running for long time. Sometimes all goes well without app getting died. I observed the log to get to know what is the causing the app to die and found this:
11-02 16:39:39.293: A/libc(3556): @@@ ABORTING: INVALID HEAP ADDRESS IN dlfree
11-02 16:39:39.293: A/libc(3556): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0xdeadbaad (code=1)
The full log is given below, what I found in logcat when the app died:

Memory Corruption
