Android Clipboard crash

Android
1

Hi folks!

I’ve seen a crash in this code:

    public final String getClipboardContent()
    {
        ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService (CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
        return clipboard.getText().toString();
    }

The error is:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke interface method 'java.lang.String java.lang.CharSequence.toString()' on a null object reference

If interested, I pick this up with HockeyApp, which we use for all our app variants.

Anyhow - looks like you need to defend against this, because…

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/ClipboardManager

… says that getText can return null.

This crash happened on a Samung SM-G930V device running Android 7.0, if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

Pete

Thanks for reporting this, the fix will appear shortly.

The fix is on develop. You will need to re-save your project in Projucer.
