androidmedia: Android application crashes for build 1.9.90

[urchikkamath at yahoo.com]

Hello,
Our Android application running without any issues with previous build 1.4.5 and it has been tested for QA cycle including accessing hardware codecs for Video encoding and decoding. However we've updated cerbero build and NDK to support latest version of android i.e 6.0/7.0. I've successfully build the cerbero for version 1.9.90 and updated NDK for android-ndk-r12b. With these latest changes our Android application crashes while launching app. Debug logs points to androidmedia(gst_android_hardware_sensor_init) plugin is culprit.

(attached detail log)

Please note instead of hardware codecs if we use software based codecs i.e x264 and avdec_h264 Applications works perfectly fine.This issue has been observed on Qualcomm and Exynos based chipsets  
It would be great if we get help/suggestions or pointers to resolve this issue at earliest.

Note: I've already filed this issue as Bug , I'm posting here in case someone faced similar issues and help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
