libSpotify is crashing in Android

Question

I'm doing an app that requires Spotify in Android. But when i run libSpotify "sp_session_create" i get a SIGSEGV. The version of libSpotify that i'm using is v12.1.51 BETA - For android ARM

sp_error initialise(const char * asKey,
                    const char * asFolder,
                    const char * asUserAgent,
                    bool isPlaylistCompressed,
                    bool isMetadataOnPlaylist,
                    bool isPlaylistInitialUnload)
{
    sp_session_callbacks asCallbacks;
    memset(&asCallbacks, 0, sizeof(asCallbacks));

    asCallbacks.logged_in                    = Callback::onSessionLogin;
    asCallbacks.log_message                  = Callback::onSessionLog;

    sp_session_config asConfiguration;
    memset(&asConfiguration, 0, sizeof(asConfiguration));

    std::string asDirectory = asFolder;
    auto asDirectoryCache   = asDirectory + "/cache";
    auto asDirectorySetting = asDirectory + "/setting";

    const auto asApplicationKey = "Key goes here...";

    asConfiguration.api_version                      = SPOTIFY_API_VERSION;
    asConfiguration.application_key                  = asApplicationKey;
    asConfiguration.application_key_size             = sizeof(asApplicationKey);
    asConfiguration.cache_location                   = asDirectoryCache.c_str();
    asConfiguration.settings_location                = asDirectorySetting.c_str();
    asConfiguration.user_agent                       = asUserAgent;
    asConfiguration.compress_playlists               = isPlaylistCompressed;
    asConfiguration.dont_save_metadata_for_playlists = isMetadataOnPlaylist;
    asConfiguration.initially_unload_playlists       = isPlaylistInitialUnload;
    asConfiguration.userdata                         = this;
    asConfiguration.callbacks                        = &asCallbacks;

    sp_error asError = sp_session_create(&asConfiguration, &_asSession);

    __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_VERBOSE, LIBRARY_NAME, "PASSED");

    return asError;
}

Edit: Spotify's new Android SDK is released! You should strongly consider moving your project to the new SDK, since libspotify is now deprecated for that platform.

Hello!, thanks for the response after some time i was able to fix it and now is not crashing anymore :D, but yeah libSpotify is a pain when it comes to Android (Now i have switch to WebAPI for metadata and libSpotify for offline-mode stuff) – Agustin Alvarez Jun 19 '14 at 17:52
does the new SDK support Offline playback? (Main reason why im using libSpotify) – Agustin Alvarez Jun 27 '14 at 08:01

The crash was due to cache folder.
