Android Question Got a crash I just don't understand

[Robert Valentino]

I have never seen this crash on any devices

Can someone explain to me what is going wrong?? To me it looks like something to do with fonts

I am only attaching the Thread 1 information

What font file are you using ?

 

[Robert Valentino]

I have 3 of them that are in my Assets file that I try to load

            Try  
                If  mFont_Roboto_Medium.IsInitialized = False Then
                    mFont_Roboto_Medium         = Typeface.LoadFromAssets("roboto_medium.ttf")          
                End If
               
                If  mFont_Roboto_Medium_Italic.IsInitialized = False Then
                    mFont_Roboto_Medium_Italic    = Typeface.LoadFromAssets("roboto_medium_italic.ttf")
                End If
               
                If  mFont_Roboto_Medium_Italic_Mono.IsInitialized = False Then
                    mFont_Roboto_Medium_Italic_Mono    = Typeface.LoadFromAssets("roboto_mono_medium_italic.ttf")
                End If
            Catch
                mFont_Roboto_Medium                = Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.DEFAULT,         Typeface.STYLE_BOLD)
                mFont_Roboto_Medium_Italic        = Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.DEFAULT,         Typeface.STYLE_BOLD_ITALIC)  
                mFont_Roboto_Medium_Italic_Mono    = Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.MONOSPACE,     Typeface.STYLE_BOLD_ITALIC)                  
            End Try

If any of them fails to load I create them from the default font.

This code only seems to be failing (if it is really failing - the Try and Catch should get called) on this ChromeBook

NOTE: Files as definitely in my Asset folder

Looks like a low level crash. This is something that you cannot catch with Try / Catch. If this is a common issue with Chromebooks then you should check the model and avoid loading the fonts.
