Is there anyone to figure out this problem???

Srinath · May 11, 2018, 9:48pm

Maybe I can help you but I need more information. I see that your fragment is not attached to a context.

So, can you paste both the hosting activity and PhotoGalleryFragment.java class here?

Replace the above line from the PhotoGalleryFragment.java file with:

Drawable drawable = new BitmapDrawable(getActivity().getResources(), thumbnail);

I think that’ll solve the issue.

May I know the action that you performed just before the error occurred?

Nitrodon · May 15, 2018, 4:07pm

The problem is that the downloaded bitmap is being sent to your fragment after the activity is destroyed. Since your fragment is no longer attached to a context, getResources() will throw an error (and getActivity() will return null).

In this situation, you don’t have any reason to update the thumbnails anyway. At the beginning of your onThumbnailDownloaded method, add the following line:

if (!isAdded()) return;

This will return from the method immediately if the fragment is no longer attached.
