java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: android.view.ThreadedRenderer.finalize() timed out after 10 seconds

Question

I am getting this strange crash reports on Lollipop. My app is basically a browser so it makes heavy use of the WebView but I don't know that the issue is happening there. Anyways the crash report doesn't give much useful information, it is essentially what I am pasting below:

java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: android.view.ThreadedRenderer.finalize() timed out after 10 seconds at android.view.ThreadedRenderer.nDeleteProxy(Native Method) at android.view.ThreadedRenderer.finalize(ThreadedRenderer.java:398) at java.lang.Daemons$FinalizerDaemon.doFinalize(Daemons.java:190) at java.lang.Daemons$FinalizerDaemon.run(Daemons.java:173) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818) 

Has anyone seen this? any idea what might be causing it?

EDIT: I should mention that this is happening on an app which I've had for about 10 months and it has always only targeted 4.0+ devices. The bug is only being reported on 5.0 devices and that stacktrace above is all the Play Store Console gives me.

Answer 1

Since KitKat, I have issues with WebViews (freeze, crash)

I have resolved these issues deactivating hardware acceleration for webViews. It could work for you.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19) // KITKAT {     webView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null); }
