Re: SeeingNullPointerException in LogCat

[Eric Leichtenschlag]

Hey Richard,

The exception is in fact being caught and logged.  It should probably be logged at the warning level to avoid confusion.

If I remember correctly, this happens much more often on an emulator than it does a device, and I believe the only consequence is you miss an ad refresh.

I am seeing quite a few of the following reports in LogCat; it happens about 50% of the time when I rotate the screen in the emulator.

My application is NOT crashing so I guess the exception is being caught and logged.

My application is a skeleton test app. I create the AdView in code in MyActivity.onCreate() and add it to a LinearLayout. I am calling adView.destory() in MyActivity.onDestroy().

Emulator running Android 2.2

Google AdMob SDK 6.0.1

Android SDK 4.0.3 (L15)
