Ok, I tried gino's idea with initializing my arrays differently. I
also changed there names so that they did not share a name with any
other arrays in my app: Did not work.
I also tried calling to static variables instead of passing variables
between classes with intents: This also did not work.
I can't determine which line of code causes the error. The logcat
does not give me a pointer to anything in my app at all. I tried to
narrow it down with breakpoints and logging and what I found is that
it runs through all of my code without a hitch, and then once its done
it throws the exception.
And again the exception only happens when I call the intent from a
contextMenu.
