ANDROID: STARK: Crash when launching The Longest Journey on Android 13

Reported by: antoniou79 Owned by: lephilousophe
Priority: high Component: Engine: Stark
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: The Longest Journey

Description (last modified by antoniou79)

This was reported on a forum thread here: https://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=16989

The forum member mentions running ScummVM 2.9git on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, Android 13.

The version of the game tested includes the HD mod.

The issue is described as:

What happens is it loads (black screen with control item on top right), then crashes (app is gone from screen, and home screen returns). No error prompts.

I cannot reproduce the issue on Android 12. The game (GOG version) launches ok with the HD mod. There are some slow loading issues due to using SAF (pressumably this won't be an issue if one is not using SAF), but no crash on launch.

It is likely that the issue is due to some uncaught memory leak, since Android 13 seems especially strict about those. But I have not checked for that as of yet, and it could be something entirely different.

Would be good to resolve this for the 2.9.0 release.

Tested on Android 14 with and without HD mod and I don't see any crash.
The loading is slow though.
