IllegalArgumentException Surface.nativeLockCanvas , Choreographer, BufferQueue

Question

I have a complex application that creates multiple Bitmap objets and uses them to create BitmapDrawables. I know this might be a tough question to answer, but any help in pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated. I have run tests on memory allocation, and have come up mostly empty handed. ... Any ideas on what could be causing this?

I was having the same error. For me the problem was that I was not closing the file (file.close()) in JNI code.
