Android Studio show me the Error load: id=gralloc != hmi->id=gralloc

My IDE shows me the error even is empty project. As you can see I create the new project with empty activity. App is launched in mobile successfully and work fine. but logcat isn't working properly or any thing else I'm stuck help me out. And when I connect my mobile even I didn't build the project logcat is full of instruction/logs.

UPDATE:
First, gralloc stands for the low-level graphics buffer allocator.
The gralloc is part of the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) which
means that the implementation is platform-specific. You can find the
interface definitions in
hardware/libhardware/include/hardware/gralloc.h. As expected from a
HAL component, the interface is divided into a module interface
(gralloc_module_t) and a device interface (alloc_device_t).
The error is very low level and related with OpenGLRenderer. Your device is trying to open some 64-bit library files, but if fails. Then the error occurs.
I did very deep search about this but nothing useful came up.
Try running apps on another devices and see the error occurs again.
Continue developing if the error is not causing crash or other important issue. If you find a solution, you will try again.

in my case, I tried to use Application class static context for calling new Activity and I changed it to local static Activity and problem solved.
Notice that this problem doesn't happen in all devices it just occur in some cases.
private static MainActivity u_static;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_users);
u_static = this;
}
public static void new(int id, String name){
Intent i = new Intent(u_static, NewActivity.class);
u_static.startActivity(i);
}
And something I notice that in some devices when an application stops working instead of showing error, this error happens. Trace and debug your codes.

About the crazy E/HAL: load: id=gralloc != hmi->id=gralloc
Reason for error: Generally, it is caused by the fact that the control object is not fetched, the click event of the control is executed, and the null value is related to the initialization control.
As
private Button bt;
bt.setOnclickListener(new OnClickLisenter(){....});
Is there a problem? Yes!
xml layout control
Check if the findViewById() is missing in the java code!
    The above leaked bt = (Button) findViewById(R.id...);
java dynamic new control / custom control error
     Check if you forgot to create the object!
     The above leaked bt = new Button();
So the correct way to change the above code is:
private Button bt;
bt=(Button)findViewById(R.id...);

I encountered this issue while using runnable and passing an unassigned view.
This is caused by an empty view object where findViewById returns a null value.
Instead of passing the view object passing the value the view holds resolved the issue.

Just update ADT and Unable to resolve superclass errer appear

The error show after I update my ADT, the project is created before the update.
In Login Activity,
public class LoginActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
// Do something here... if login success, Start another activity
Intent i = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
LoginActivity.this.startActivity(i);
}
.......
}
In MainActivity,
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//......
}
}
I try to remove all the code inside and back to a blank activity. The error is not happen because of the code inside the activity. I think is abut the extend FragmentActivity
Here is the error trace:
Unable to resolve superclass of Lhk/iactive/imoodle/activity/MainActivity; (15)
Link of class 'Lhk/iactive/imoodle/activity/MainActivity;' failed
I get this error after I update my ADT.
I do some research on this topic. I try to import the android-support-v4.jar again and this do not fix the problem.
I also read some blog like THIS ONE can not help me too :(

I have solve the problem by myself. I am going to share the solution hope there is other people who suffer from the same error can save some time :D
I try many method for example go to build Path Config -> Order and Exprot, All the library is already checked. And the NoClassPathFound error is still showing.
I have no external Jar for the project and The error is from FragmentActivity from Android Support Library.
Then I delete the android-support-v4.jar complete and add it again by right clicked the project -> Android Tools -> Add support library...
After the new support library added. All the error fix. :D

This worked for me:
For all projects (app and library):
Right click the project, and choose Properties
Go to Java Build Path-Order and Export.
Tick 'Android Private Libraries'

Android exception handling best practice?

If my app crashes, it hangs for a couple of seconds before I'm told by Android that the app crashed and needs to close. So I was thinking of catching all exceptions in my app with a general:
try {
// ...
} catch(Exception e) {
// ...
}
And make a new Activity that explains that the application crashed instantly (and also giving users an opportunity to send a mail with the error details), instead of having that delay thanks to Android. Are there better methods of accomplishing this or is this discouraged?
Update: I am using a Nexus 5 with ART enabled and I am not noticing the delay I used to experience with apps crashing (the "hanging" I was talking about originally). I think since everything is native code now, the crash happens instantly along with getting all the crash information. Perhaps the Nexus 5 is just quick :) regardless, this may not be a worry in future releases of Android (given that ART is going to be the default runtime in Android L).

Here, check for the link for reference.
In here you create a class say ExceptionHandler that implements java.lang.Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler..
Inside this class you will do your life saving stuff like creating stacktrace and gettin ready to upload error report etc....
Now comes the important part i.e. How to catch that exception.
Though it is very simple. Copy following line of code in your each Activity just after the call of super method in your overriden onCreate method.
Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new ExceptionHandler(this));
Your Activity may look something like this…
public class ForceClose extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new ExceptionHandler(this));
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}

You could just use a generic alert dialog to quickly display error messages.
For example...
//******************************************
//some generic method
//******************************************
private void doStuff()
{
try
{
//do some stuff here
}
catch(Exception e)
{
messageBox("doStuff", e.getMessage());
}
}
//*********************************************************
//generic dialog, takes in the method name and error message
//*********************************************************
private void messageBox(String method, String message)
{
Log.d("EXCEPTION: " + method, message);
AlertDialog.Builder messageBox = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
messageBox.setTitle(method);
messageBox.setMessage(message);
messageBox.setCancelable(false);
messageBox.setNeutralButton("OK", null);
messageBox.show();
}
You could also add other error handling options into this method, such as print stacktrace

i found the "wtf" (what a terrible failure) method in the Log class. From the description:
Depending on system configuration, a report may be added to the
DropBoxManager and/or the process may be terminated immediately with
an error dialog.

Error caused when converting android activity based app to fragment based

I am new to Android Development and I have a simple list app which I have been asked to create.I have had no problems having the app as activity based however I have to extend the functionality and use fragments for a 'universal' app. My main activity is:

I was able to successfully compile your code by taking the following steps:
It looks like this line is the problem (inside Main.java):
contactCursor = contactDBAdapter.getAllContactsCursor();
I looked at how your contactDBAdapter gets initialized and it turns out you initialize it after you setContentView for your activity. However, your view involves calls to contactDBAdapter. So in Main.java you need to move the following two lines to the TOP of the onCreate window:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
contactDBAdapter = new ContactDBAdapter(this);
contactDBAdapter.open();
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
....
}
Furthermore, the following line in Main.java needs to be removed (or commented out):
contact.clear();
Also, I had to make two further changes to how you call ListView
In list_view.xml, the way you identify a ListView for Android is :
android:id="#+id/android:list"
In ContactListFragment.java, then call the ListView this way :
parent.myListView = (ListView)v.findViewById(android.R.id.list);

have you not just tried using the Eclipse Template which set up everything for you just copy in your existing code?
File>New>Android Application Project then under the Create Activity Step select

Your Fragment class needs an empty default constructor. See Android Reference

progressbar circle in SherlockActionBar using Fragments

I have a SherlockFragmentActivity using tabhost and viewpager. Calling
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);
in the fragmentactivity creates the spinner, and calling
setSupportProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
won't disable it. I also don't seem to be able to call getActivity().setSupportProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
from the fragments;
I get the error "The Method setSupportProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(boolean) is undefined for the type FragmentActivity."
What am I doing wrong, can someone show me the way how to use it properly in fragments? I want to be able to create the progressbar in my asynctask pre execute and stop it in postexecute.
I'm using2.2 emulator and importing import com.actionbarsherlock.view.Window; instead of the android.view one.
[Edit] I just confirmed using setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility works in the 4.1 emulator. Anyway, I need to get this work in 2.2

"I also don't seem to be able to call getActivity().setSupportProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false); from the fragments;"
You need to be calling getSherlockActivity() instead of getActivity().
"I'm using2.2 emulator and importing import com.actionbarsherlock.view.Window; instead of the android.view one."
Plus one for that, hadn't spotted that import and came across this post which fixed my bug - wasn't showing the progress indicator in Gingerbread before, many thanks :)

This works perfect for me:
getActivity().setProgressBarIndeterminate(true);
ProgressDialog progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(getActivity());
progressDialog.show(getActivity(), "This is", " a message...");
May you help ;)
