I have an activity that has a VideoView widget that plays a mp4 file, when the video is playing I click a button that shows another Activity. Before calling the startActivity() I called videoView.stopPlayback().
What happens is that instead of showing the new Activity, the current video player Activity just finishes. In the log I saw these lines:

0-18 09:33:15.488: DEBUG/SurfaceFlinger(1484): layer=0x54d438 is not in the purgatory list
10-18 09:33:15.488: DEBUG/Zygote(1357): Process 14164 terminated by signal (11)
10-18 09:33:15.508: DEBUG/SurfaceFlinger(1484): layer=0x90ab48 is not in the purgatory list
10-18 09:33:15.528: DEBUG/dalvikvm(14193): Debugger has detached; object registry had 1 entries
10-18 09:33:15.538: ERROR/ActivityManager(1484): fail to set top app changed!

Can someone point out what could be the problem?

Thanks

    ok, turns out the problem is in my code. In the onPause of the launching activity(that with videoView) it called a method that should not be called at the time. The error message from the logcat is confusing. But it appears to me when this message shows,
    10-18 09:33:15.538: ERROR/ActivityManager(1484): fail to set top app changed!

    that means the app is doing something wrong in the life cycle related methods like onPause, onCreate, onResume.
