I am setting an animation on my view from following the ApiDemo example (see layout_grid_fade.html):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<gridLayoutAnimation xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:rowDelay="50%"
android:directionPriority="column"
android:animation="#anim/fade" />
and below is my code
mView.startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(ViewModel.this, R.anim.layout_grid_fade));
mView.setImage(modelImages.get(0).image);
but i get exception dont know why? below is my log trace
FATAL EXCEPTION: main

UPD:
Not every xml in res/anim folder declares an animation. Some of them might declare Animators or LayoutAnimationControllers. Those are not Animations, thus they can't be loaded with the loadAnimation() call.

It looks like the gridLayoutAnimation tag describes not a particular basic animation type but rather a GridLayoutAnimationController. So it can be loaded directly with AnimationUtils.loadAnimation() but rather should be set to a ViewGroup (a layout) throuh layoutAnimation property. If you still want to obtain the AnimationController instance in code, use AnimationUtils.loadLayoutAnimation() method:
LayoutAnimationController layoutAnimation = AnimationUtils.loadLayoutAnimation(ViewModel.this, R.anim.layout_grid_fade)
But you hardly can use the layoutAnimation in the way you're doing in your example.
I found this article quite useful for understanding the layout animations.

I've been working on an existing codebase for a while and from browsing our crash log service I've noticed an exception that happens pretty frequently, I am not able to reproduce this issue, nor do I have the context for the scenario to try and dig in, as this is a pretty big project it has become increasingly hard to find out the cause of this exception.
I have been searching online for similar issues and couldn't find any useful information.
If anyone is familiar with this issue, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
The issue turned out to be an animation being invoked from a Handler using postDelayed(), which eventually resulted in attempting to animate a null View reference, since it wasn't cleared properly according to it's host lifecycle events.
maybe you tagret is null, print log with animatorSet.getTarget() to see
I also get this stack trace when I use :
ObjectAnimator animator = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(this, "scale", 1);
....
animator.start()
run in android 4.0.X, but it's ok for higher version, you can also refer this guy's commit, though I don't how to fix, however this is the root cause definitely.
I went through this exception now and find out that I was getting the instance of the View with animation from getActivity().findViewById. While being in a fragment I had to instantiate it from the rootview inflated containing the view.
I basically moved the view from the Activity to the Fragment layout, but didn't change the code.
So the rootview.findViewById resolved my problem.

Trust me, I found the solution of this crash issue on 4.0.x devices.
The problem is when you use ObjectAnimator without 'start' and 'end' value, the api on 4.0.x devices can't find the 'start' value to implement.
For example, this will lead to crash on 4.0.x devices
int endRadiusValue = 10;
ObjectAnimator
.ofFloat(roundedGradientDrawable, "cornerRadius", endRadiusValue)
.setDuration(200)
.start();
And this code work perfect on all api level devices
int startRadiusValue = 0;
int endRadiusValue = 10;
ObjectAnimator
.ofFloat(roundedGradientDrawable, "cornerRadius", startRadiusValue, endRadiusValue)
.setDuration(200)
.start();
The reason is the target view is null. ObjectAnimator ofFloat(Object target, ...).
This crash will only throw in 4x device.
There is no crash in another device
I solve the problem by adding the animation to a animationSet just like this:
I put text-selectable TextView in Android layout with setTextIsSelectable(true) and the text is set by Html.fromHtml(sometexts).
It works good to allow user to copy text.
My JellyBean device gives small baloons with cut/copy/paste buttons on top of the selected text.
But when user accidently click cut icon left side of the copy menu, it crashes.
The log is given as below but there is no point to handle this exception in my application.
How to prevent app crash?

I'm not sure and I can't test it right now but maybe try to put that in your TextView xml :
android:bufferType="spannable"
If it's still not working you can implement yourself your action for the selectable event.
Look at the answer of this question here :
Android- How can I show text selection on textview?
I just released an alarm app and it's been hell. It's breaking on certain devices when they try to open up the alarm list screen. I have no idea why it's breaking on some devices and not others. Every phone I've seen it tried on it works perfectly, but opening up the alarm list on some other devices blows it up. I'm really out of my depth for this kind of specific device compatibility issue.
The code at AlarmClock line 227 is this:
View changeSettings = findViewById(R.id.alarm_settings);
changeSettings.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SettingsActivity.class));
}
});
And it references this line of xml:
<Button
android:id="#+id/alarm_settings"
style="?android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="#string/menu_settings"
android:layout_weight="1.0" />
This links to a settings activity I borrowed the source of from an adapted version of the android stock alarm, but it uses addPreferencesFromResource which is allegedly deprecated. Is that what's causing this problem?
This is the stack trace from the user's device:
Nexus 7
Touched setup alarm button and then it crashed

Any help would be splendiferous. I know that it's happened on someone else's tablet as well, not sure if it's a tablet issue.
The app is here if anyone wants to give it a test: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nathantempelman.GoodMorningAlarmFree
you have a NullPointerException in your AlarmClock class in updateLayout method in line 227 :)
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

i would check that code first.
as you didn't post any code, i cant help more at the moment :)
Just in case someone else stumbles across this, the problem in the end was that there was a separate layout file for tablets which I hadn't seen in the source codebase I borrowed for a part of my application. I had obviously added a bunch of functionality, but hadn't updated the tablet layout. The buttons to access the things I had added weren't in the tablet layout file. Ergo, null pointer exception only when a tablet device loaded the tablet layout file and searched for non existent objects in the display. When I deleted that file, everything worked perfectly.
I know, hurp and or durp. But maybe someone has the same problem and might want to check for this.
The main Activity in my Android app has a Gallery widget that loads XML layouts (containing TextViews and Images) through an efficient ImageAdapter. For the most part this works fine and I haven't had any problems on any of my devices or the emulator, but I have seen the following error in my logs. It looks like this is affecting less than 1% of users, but I'd like to know what's causing it, how to resolve it, or at least "catch" it and resolve gracefully. Any ideas?
java.lang.NullPointerException at

I get this problem several days ago, please check your own gallery's adpater check its getView() methods,see if you return null in some if-cases,just replace return null with new View(context) (or other view but null) will simply solve this problem.Good luck
I have a MapActivity with a mapview. It works fine. Now I want to add a SeekBar onto my MapView. It has to be at the bottom but on the mapview. User will scroll to set the distance. Whatever. My problem is, that any view I am trying to put there is null, when I reach them by findViewById().
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mapview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:clickable="true"
android:apiKey="mykey"/>
<SeekBar
android:id="#+id/DistanceBar"
android:max="2000"
android:progress="2000"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="14dip"></SeekBar>
</RelativeLayout>
I am trying to reach that like this:
public class MyActivity extends MapActivity implements LocationListener {
...
SeekBar DistanceBar;
...
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
DistanceBar = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.DistanceBar); //This is afterwards null.
I have made a research everywhere and couldn't find a similar problem. Someone used something very similar. So I ignored that it is null, I didn't call the SeekBar in onCreate(). But the SeekBar hasn't been drawen at all. Can't I add other Views to a mapactivity?
Thanks for any idea!
An IMPORTANT EDIT: The graphical layout viewer shows the SeekBar as it should at the bottom of mapview.
I still get NullPointerException:

Here is the result from HierarchyViewer:
Can't I add other Views to a mapactivity?
Yes, you can.
Clean your project (Project -> Clean from the Eclipse main menu or ant clean at the command line). Then use Hierarchy View to see what is going on. It sounds like either your IDs are off kilter (in which case the clean will help) or perhaps you failed to save the XML or something.
I just have copied the main.xml file as map.xml and deleted main.xml. And it worked. I still don't understand why it happened. Maybe the "main" causes some problem. Maybe MapActivities have defined for themselves a "main" layout which is interrupting my "main" layout. But this was the solution somehow. Thanks a lot for your patience!
IMPORTANT EDIT: I have definitely found the problem. main.xml file remained in layout-normal and layout-normal-long folders without any SeekBar. I forgot to edit those.
