I’ve been trying to figure this out for days, to no avail. I’m developing a simple android app with Titanium that works perfectly fine on iOS. Yet, when I launch it on android, it never starts. Here is my manifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.tiki.signals" android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1">
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

    <!-- TI_MANIFEST -->

    <application android:icon="@drawable/appicon"
        android:label="Signals" android:name="SignalsApplication"
        android:debuggable="false">

        <!-- TI_APPLICATION -->

        <activity android:name=".SignalsActivity"
            android:label="Signals" android:theme="@style/Theme.Titanium"
            android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <activity 
        android:name="ti.modules.titanium.facebook.FBActivity"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"
    />

        <activity android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiActivity"
            android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" />
        <activity android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiTranslucentActivity"
            android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" />
        <activity android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiModalActivity"
            android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" />
        <activity android:name="ti.modules.titanium.ui.TiTabActivity"
            android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" />
        <activity android:name="ti.modules.titanium.ui.android.TiPreferencesActivity" />

        <service android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.analytics.TiAnalyticsService"
            android:exported="false" />
    </application>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
</manifest>

Here’s the logcat:

What is happening here? I don’t see any error in logcat. The VM is just shutting down, with no reason. Please help!

One item comes to mind just looking at the logcat… Not enough memory. You’ll see memory free dip to 3% YIKES!. Usually try to keep 10% free or OS may go into a paging fit and possible time out some features.

Disable some features in the app and watch the memory under the emulator.
Best recommendation install the app onto actual phone, though the emulator is supposed to give close tor real world results. Which I dont count on emulating any hardware device well.

Here’s some code to dump memory usage. You need to find out what your target class is.
Older phones have as little as 16MB newer ones 48MB before the OS starts picking on your app. Put code in Oncreate.

 Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
 long maxMemory = rt.maxMemory();
 Log.v("onCreate", "maxMemory:>>>>>" + Long.toString(maxMemory));   //max available memory to use

 ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
 int memoryClass = am.getMemoryClass();
 Log.v("onCreate", "memoryClass:>>>>" + Integer.toString(memoryClass));  //max available you should use to keep from getting bumped off

 printl("PGM MEM FREE MB", GetInternalMemAvail());
 printl("INTERNAL STORAGE FREE MEMORY BYTES",getmem());
 printl("INTERNAL TOTAL MEMORY BYTES",TotalMemory());
 printl("SD MEM FREE MB",GetSDMemAvail());
 printl("SD MEM GB",getAvailableSpaceInGB());

 private static void printl(String printstring,long x)
 {
  String temp;
  temp=String.format(" %d",x);
  Log.e(printstring,temp);  
 }
