My application worked fine under Android 2.3.3 to 4.1.2, but since Android 4.2.2 and Android 4.3, I have a
fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00....
when I close the bluetooth socket.
I've searching trough a lot of forums, and the main response is that the
BluetoothSocket.close();
is called from two different thread at the same time, but it's not the case in my code.
I'm using Samsung Galaxy Note 2 under A4.1.2 (works ok) and Nexus 4 for A4.2.2 and 4.3.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions !
EDIT 1 : here are the 2 threads that manipulate the Bluetooth socket.
the first :
/**
* This thread runs while attempting to make an outgoing connection with a
* device. It runs straight through; the connection either succeeds or
* fails.
*/
private class ConnectThread extends Thread {
private final BluetoothSocket mmSocket;
private final BluetoothDevice mmDevice;
//private final UUID MY_UUID = java.util.UUID.randomUUID();

mmDevice = device;
BluetoothSocket connection = null;
// Get a BluetoothSocket for a connection with the given BluetoothDevice
try {
if(D) Log.i(TAG,"/S4B/ Create RF Socket");

//connection = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(MY_UUID);
Utils.pause(100);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "/S4B/ create() failed", e);
}
mmSocket = connection;
if(D) Log.i(TAG,"/S4B/ Socket initialized");
}

}

connectionFailed();
return;
}
// Reset the ConnectThread because we're done
synchronized (BluetoothConnectionService.this) {

}
EDIT 2 : I tried to use only one thread to be sure that there is no access in parrallel to
BluetoothSocket
but the result is exactly the same. As soon as I call
BluetoothSocket.close();
I get the fatal signal 11 and the app crashes.
I ran into this problem as well. However, for me close()
was not the cause. The problem was accessing the socket after close()
. Specifically, the call to available()
on the socket's inputstream after the socket was closed caused the segfault.
