SIGSEGV when using SFML on Android

[thanhdz167]

I've a game using SFML and they work very well on computer and now I want to port it to Android. Compiling and building are successfully and the APK has been created and I installed to my Samsung S5 Exynos running in LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2) to test. Then I have this error:

I have using the code to test and I have same error:

main.cpp:

#include "main_point.h"

void ShowWindow() {  
     sf::VideoMode screen(sf::VideoMode::getDesktopMode());    

      sf::RenderWindow window(screen, "");

      window.setFramerateLimit(30);

}

Here is my host environment:

ANDROID_PLATFORM=/mnt/Linux/platforms/android-34
ANDROID_NDK=/mnt/Linux/ndk/26.1.10909125

My machine is Linux:

Linux duythanh-VivoBook-ASUSLaptop-X409FA-X409FA 6.2.0-37-generic #38~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Nov  2 18:01:13 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have tried to read backtrace, and I guess the crash occurs when SFML library destructing

sf::Mutex

object. But I'm not have any idea to fix now.

I cloned the SFML from official git repository, checkout to branch 2.6.x and tried again. Still not work.

Is this an error of SFML 2.6.x? How can I make SFML work on Android?

Any reason you're doing the whole JNI bootstrapping yourself, instead of using sfml-main?

My guess is, that something isn't being initialized as expected, see the implementation here: https://github.com/SFML/SFML/blob/2.6.x/src/SFML/Main/MainAndroid.cpp
