So, I played a bit with this Snapshot project. First of all, I'm using the
Motorola Xoom with ICS (4.0.3).
I tried following your steps (side load, press home, start from app drawer,
press back) and indeed I got the crash. What's really odd is that in this
scenario when you press 'back' it doesn't call surfaceDestroyed(), but
instead it calls surfaceCreated(), which doesn't really make sense.
Anyway, I tried adding a different launchMode to the Snapshot
activity....and....it worked! I used 'singleTop'.
<activity android:name=".SnapShot"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTop">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Maybe it's a Honeycomb thing? I uploaded here the test apk which works for
me (again, on ICS): http://www.mediafire.com/?eylmq4aomurc9do
Let me know if it works also for you..
Ciao,
Yuvi
