Is there anyone of troubleshooting or dealing with stack overflow errors when the trace shows nothing?

Question

Got a trace like this:

Is there anything that can be done here? I'm getting reports of blank screens and force closes.

When stack traces don't help the best thing you can do is trace it.

Start to scatter log messages through strategic parts of your application, and once you find where it is set some breakpoints and step through.

    Log.d("MyActivity", "MyClass.getView() — Initializing ");

Once you have your logs setup use LogCat
