StackOverflowError on Android

August 2015 in Xamarin.Forms

The same application works fine on Windows Phone, but throws error on Android.

Stack overflow on call to interp (req=68 top=0x56c51000 cur=0x56c4d33c size=16384 Ljava/lang/ref/FinalizerReference;.add)

This code works.

var lblName = new Label {TextColor = Color.FromHex("7F7E7E")};

This code throws exception.

var lblName = new Label {TextColor = Color.FromHex("7F7E7E")};
lblName.Text = "123";

This label is located in the ListView.ItemTemplate

More details. At some android devices the app works fine (galaxy note, htc one), but it fails on Sony Xperia.

I have the same error on my app : same as you, it happens in a ListView.ItemTemplate ... It worked before I updated to the latest stable Xamarin. I have a Galaxy S3 duo.

As a temporary fix, I just reduced the number of XAML elements in my ItemTemplate (I had more than 25), it just worked. If I re-add elements (even simple with no properties defined), it crashes again.

It seems that the ItemTemplate does not accept too many elements and if so, a StackOverflowError is raised.

Confirming. The number of elements and maybe the nesting level influence the app behavior. Do not now whether it is Xamarin or Android bug.

Hello guys, I am having below exception when I try to change the change pages from MasterDetailsPage. This exception is mainly occurring on Samasung. Can someone give a solution or a reason for this? It is working fine on all other devices but Samsung Android Version 4.0.4.

This looks like same problem. Updating 2.3.4 causes java stackoverflow exception as well. This didbt occur in 2.3.3. What is the Breaking change here?

is that only occurs for Samsun devices or Android 4 devices? my problem was with android versions smaller than 4.4 and it was caused by Syncfusion SfListview. I was told that they dont support under 4.4 so, I had to change the minimum version from api 15 to api 19. Is it also the problem for xamarin listview now?

It appears to be a problem with ScrollView / ListView perhaps combination of the two, but only occurring on Android 4.4 and below (atleast for me)

It seems to work. I reduced the numbers of elements inside of Listview and the nesting around the Listview.
