Hi, Currently I'm encountering a weird issue in which my IME process is getting crashed even though its not the default IME. The following thread which was posted earlier nearly talks about the same issue.
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/43e45a7c2e4d067f I'm assuming that its not the issue with my IME alone as the above thread speaks about Latin IME. Following are the steps to reproduce the issue: 1) After installing your IME, make it the default one such that your SIP appears on the editor( say for example GMail ) application. close this editor and open another editor. 2) After typing some words, keep the cursor in between a word and long press on the editor to bring up the options with "Add word to dictionary". Select that option, which will open the Add word editor separately. 3) There again type (or) add some words from candidate bar and then switch the IME from yours to "Android default" IME. After the switching is done, tap on the "back" key twice. 4) On the second tapping of back key, the "Null Pointer Exception" crash appears on the screen with my IME's process mentioned(not the Android default one). Here is the exact piece of crash log which I took out the device( I'm actually using a tablet which is running on 2.3.3 ). 09-15 14:23:11.720: WARN/InputManagerService(113): Window already focused, ignoring focus gain of: com.android.internal.view.IInputMethodClient$Stub$Proxy@40864a00 09-15 14:23:17.190: DEBUG/AndroidRuntime(24837): Shutting down VM 09-15 14:23:17.190: WARN/dalvikvm(24837): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x40150560) 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): java.lang.NullPointerException 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): at android.inputmethodservice.IInputMethodSessionWrapper.executeMessage(IInputMethodSessionWrapper.java: 88) 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): at com.android.internal.os.HandlerCaller $MyHandler.handleMessage(HandlerCaller.java:61) 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:3683) 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:507) 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit $MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:839) 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:597) 09-15 14:23:17.190: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24837): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) I browsed the net and found from sources that the InputMethodSessionWrapper in its handler is still trying to use the old(invalid) InputMethodSession and calls UpdateExtractedText() with out a "null" check. My question is after the IME is swicthed from mine to Android default one, why the InputMethodSessionWrapper is still trying to use the old inputmethodsession object ? Am I missing something from my onDestroy() call which is causing this issue ?(I double checked and found that all required resources like registered receivers are unregistered & things like that. Moreover if I swap the positions of IMEs and follow above same steps, Android default IME is not crashing) (or) am I missing any vital interface methods from being overridden in my IME?( I even tried keeping dummy implementation of onbindInput() and onUnbindInput() and called the super class method, without success in this regard) (or) is this a issue which needs to be addressed from the platform end ?
