Confirmed in a creative flat single player world on hard difficulty. Gave myself an iron sword and a stack of creeper eggs then converted to survival. When I spawn a creeper from an egg, get close enough to hit it, then us back to move away, I cannot get far enough to prevent the creeper from exploding.

Tested on Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920W8), Android 6.0.1 MCPE 0.15.90.7

The blast radius of creeper should be 7 blocks (according to wiki) but mojang set this as 10 as you can see in the screenshot. This may be the problem.

Rodrigo could you tell me in which file did you found the creeper behavior code?

I think this is strongly related to (if not a dupe of) MCPE-13214.

Fixed in 0.15.90.8

seems to have become a problem again.
Lately:
I can no longer keep an angry creeper from the explosion. It no longer works by simply running away ... or is that what on wanted? or am I too clumsy? In Java this seems to work.

The explosions didn't kill me but the holes are annoying.
