Native Android Crash - Invalid Bitmap

Question

I am getting crash reports in the Google Developer Console with the abort message: "Error, cannot access an invalid/free'd bitmap here!". The below stack-trace is all I've been able to get a hold of so far. The issue is only occurring on Android 6.0 devices (marshmallow). I'm not able to reproduce the issue on any of my devices. The users' that are seeing this are unable to even open the application; it crashes before they are even presented with any visual representation of the app. Since the error involves Bitmaps, I went through my entire project looking for corrupt image files but I did not find any. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am also seeing this stack-trace, which I would gusss is related:

Answer 1

It might crash if your bitmap calls recycle() method. try without using yourbitmap.recycle() method.
