You must register external thread with PjSip threa

Question

When navigating through app app got crashed due to pjsip and it's says you must register external thread with pjsip thread. I've also regsitered pjsip with the main thread like this

  try {
            mEndpoint.libRegisterThread(Thread.currentThread().getName());
            Log.d(TAG, "Registering with thread "+Thread.currentThread().getName());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

This crashed happend so randomly and don't exactly know what causing this and I also not calling any pjsip method when that crashed happend. So what's going wrong here?

Answer 1

Looks like one of PjSip objects is getting collected by GC from the thread other than the one you've registered.

According to documentation:

... application ‘’‘MUST immediately destroy PJSUA2 objects using object’s delete() 
method (in Java)’‘’, instead of relying on the GC to clean up the object

So you MUST delete PjSip objects manually, for example:

account.delete();
