I am getting a
NullPointerException at android.app.ActivityThread$PackageInfo$ServiceDispatcher.doConnected(ActivityThread.java:1012)
My application is not even in the stack trace, so I have no idea what is going on.
I am trying to connect to a service when it happens.
How can I fix this problem?
This probably way too old for my response to be of any use, but in case anybody else has this problem, here's what it was for me. I am using a newer version of the SDK, so I'm getting this issue at line 1061.
It was happening to me because I was passing a null ServiceConnection object to the function bindService.
It was helpful to browse the SDK code in my case - although the line numbers don't add up due to version differences, the general code is likely the same (and I knew which method to check):
1097 // If there was an old service, it is not disconnected.
1098 if (old != null) {
1099 mConnection.onServiceDisconnected(name);
1100 }
1101 // If there is a new service, it is now connected.
1102 if (service != null) {
1103 mConnection.onServiceConnected(name, service);
1104 }
mConnection was pretty much the only thing that made sense to be null.
