pygame.display.set_mode runs out of memory #331
Description
I'm able to build python-for-android and the touchtracer demo works fine for me.
However, when I try an application that uses pygame, I get an "Out of memory error" in the logcat upon the pygame.display.set_mode statement to set the screen resolution which is close to the beginning of the program after the pygame.init statement. I don't have this problem with the pygame subset for android (PGS4a-0.9.6) and when running python/pygame on Windows or RaspberryPi.
I need to build python-for-android myself in order to include the openssl package which PGS4A does not include.
I tried various things - NDK 8c, 9, 10d, Android API levels 14, 20, JDK 1.8.0, cython 0.20 with no success. I built on a debian x86 machine updated to the latest stable level.
I get the same problem whether I specify openssl, pil, and kivy modules as in the README.txt file or android, pygame, and pyjnius modules to build.
I tried tracing that out-of-memory message and if I'm not incorrect, it's coming from one of the camera C files in pygame where it tries to calloc a buffer during some initialization. I don't need camera support and I intend to comment out the camera initialization to see if it will get any further.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
