I use a contentView “gameView” it extends a SurfaceView and I use a thread to have a permanent loop to my game, my onCreate() method is

public class mainclass extends Activity {
GameView game;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, 
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    game = new GameView(this);
    setContentView(game);
}

the crash logcat is

    @dymmeh: My code was 

    @Override
          public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) 
        {
            boolean retry = true;
            mythread.setRunning(false);
            while (retry) {

                   try {
                            mythread.join();
                            retry = false;
                       } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                   }
            }
     }

    and that what caused what you said, I replaced it with

        @Override
          public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) 
        {
            mythread.setRunning(false);
            System.exit(0);
        }

    now, everything is going well, thanks!
