Happens to me too, my devices are Xiaomi MIPAD 4 (MIUI 10, android 8, snapdragon 660), Huawei Mediapad M5 lite (EMUI 8, android 8, kirin 659), Huawei Honour 5x (custom rom, android 7). Happens both in gl and vulkan.

I believe this should fix it -

We will probably push an updated stable version if we get more reports from guys like @jdgleaver confirming that it indeed worked - it worked for me but I always would like to get a secondary confirmation first.

I can confirm this error. I'm on a OnePlus T6 Pro; Android Pie with Oxygen OS 9.17. I've screen recorded the error too that if that helps.

I can confirm also on both Note 10+ (Exynos) and Galaxy Tab S6 (S855). I got the same entrypoint in the backtrace at 2da080 / libretroarch-activity.so. @twinaphex if you have a packaged version, I can check if your fix is working.

[twinaphex]

Just download the nightlies either later today or tomorrow.

Same here galaxy j7 prime ,android oreo 8.1

[twinaphex]

Try the latest nightly build on our buildbot - for me it fixes the issue -

@twinaphex tested with nightly 2020-01-14, fixes the issue for me. Thanks for the quick fix!

[victante]

Nightly build fixed it for me too! Should I close the issue or we wait for more confirmations?

[jdgleaver]

Just for the record, I also confirm that the issue is fixed :)
