This should be moved to the Android Public Tracker > Text component, but I don't have permissions so I'm redirecting to the appropriate owner.

So after updating to 1.4.1 and all deps too, the crash was a little different see below.

The repro for that one is easy

1. create a new app from AS 7.1 RC 1
2. update deps to (Appcompat 1.4.1/Material 1.5.0/Constraintlayout 2.1.3)
3. Add 2 textViews

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/text1" />```

4. In onCreate:

        val t1 = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.text1)
        val t2 = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.text2)

        val charBuffer1 = CharArrayBuffer("AAA".toCharArray())
        charBuffer1.sizeCopied = 3
        val charBuffer2 = CharArrayBuffer("AAA".toCharArray())
        charBuffer2.sizeCopied = 3

        t1.setText(charBuffer1.data, 0, charBuffer1.sizeCopied)
        t2.setText(charBuffer2.data, 0, charBuffer2.sizeCopied)

5. Run see the texts updated then crash with the following. (Tested on P6 Pro Android 12)

since it is possibly related to emojicompat reassigned

Thanks for the report.

What version of Android are you testing this on?

Android 12 P6 pro P3a and emulator A 11.

Can test on others the last repro is easy to test.

Thanks! That's helpful to know it's reproing on both 11 and 12 - no need to test on others. We'll have to explore a bit.
