Take the 2-minute tour ×  SOLVED: needed to declare MP globally.

I suddenly get  D/dalvikvm(14090): GC_CONCURRENT freed 1841K,
51% free 4335K/8839K, external 10702K/12379K, paused 2ms+4ms  in
logcat and MP dies. Any ideas what might have happened and how
do I fix that?   share|improve this question add comment  2
