I just got an interesting exception on my Galaxy Nexus while doing the usual change-compile-debug cycle with Eclipse:

Occasionally my Market console or users report weird errors which go away after reinstalling the same .apk, and I remember others sharing similar experiences on this list as well. The exception above may be related - it seems that Andorid tried to do something with the application while the .apk was being installed. I've never seen this before, but thread race bugs -- if that's what's behind this -- happen much more frequently on multicore hardware. They can still happen on single-core systems, although less frequently - which may explain corrupted applications when you get above a certain number of installations. This is the line that crashed: https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/java/android/app/LoadedApk.java#L362 ... implying that pm.getPackageInfo() for the application's package returned null. Anyone else seen this? Any thoughts on investigating this further? Thanks, -- Kostya -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
