Android: Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1) on movie.draw

Question

I am trying to display an animated gif in an ImageView using android Movie class in the onDraw method as follow:

   @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        canvas.drawColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
        super.onDraw(canvas);
        long now = android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
        if (movieStart == 0) {
            movieStart = now;
        }
        movie = getMovieFromGif();
        if (movie != null && movie.duration() > 0) {
            try {
                int relTime = (int) ((now - movieStart) % movie.duration());
                movie.setTime(relTime);

                float movie_height = convertDpToPixels(movie.height());
                float movie_width = convertDpToPixels(movie.width());

                float new_movie_height = movie_height;
                float new_movie_width = movie_width;
                float movie_ratio = movie_width / movie_height;

                if (new_movie_width > container_width) {
                    new_movie_width = container_width;
                    new_movie_height = new_movie_width / movie_ratio;
                }

                if (new_movie_height > container_height) {
                    new_movie_height = container_height;
                    new_movie_width = new_movie_height * movie_ratio;
                }

                float scale_x = container_width / new_movie_width;
                float scale_y = container_height / new_movie_height;

                scale_x = new_movie_width / (float) movie.width();
                scale_y = new_movie_height / (float) movie.height();

                canvas.scale(scale_x, scale_y);
                float x = 0;
                if ((float) this.getWidth() > new_movie_width) {
                    x = ((this.getWidth() - (movie.width() * scale_x)) / 2f)
                            / scale_x;
                }

                movie.draw(canvas, x, 0);
                this.invalidate();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                Log.i("onDraw()", "Error: " + ex.getMessage());
            }
        }
}

Code runs fine on most devices but on Huawei Ascend P7 and Samsung galaxy a5, application crashes on movie.draw(canvas, x, 0) with exception:

A/libc(23632): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1), thread 23632

Any idea what is wrong with movie.draw on these devices?

Fatal signal error occurs after the execution of code movie.draw(), rest is the stack trace of execution of lines before movie.draw().

That appears to be a native null pointer de-reference, but you need to post the full native stack trace in order to untangle it, not just part of one line. — Chris Stratton, Apr 23 '15 at 08:05
That is not a stack trace, but rather some log messages immediately preceding the stack trace. Include the actual stack trace too. — Chris Stratton, Apr 29 '15 at 13:12

I was able to resolve the issue by disabling the android hardware acceleration:

android:hardwareAccelerated="false"

Worked for me but not a viable solution because now every animation lags – Quentin G. Jan 11 '16 at 18:35
Did you guys find a solution for this ? I'm also facing the Animation lagging issue if disabling the hardwardeAcceleration. – AndreiBogdan Mar 16 '16 at 07:27

It's the same as what Sultana, but surprisingly here's didn't work for me while this one did. it's here you disable the hardware accelerator only on this specific view you draw movie using this line.

view.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
