Genymotion Crash after a few minutes

Issue

I have built a demo application which works perfectly, and looks like the following:

Then after a few runs, Genymotion suddenly stops working, and a screen like the following appears:

.

The Logcat keeps recording the following lines:

If I shut down Genymotion and relaunch it, it works fine again.

What is the cause of this problem, and is anyone experiencing it too?

Solution

It's not really caused by your application, so don't worry.

It often happens when you computer goes in sleep mode and when you come back Genymotion will throw this exception (it happens to me very often).

In your specific case sounds like the device goes in sleep mode so a way to fix it is simply to enable "Always stay awake" in developers options.

Another way to fix it is just to turn off your emulator and relaunch. (as you already do)
