Caught a RuntimeException from the binder stub implementation when swap data in arrayadapter

Question

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

     ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<>();

     ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;

     ArrayList<String> data1 = new ArrayList<>();

     ArrayList<String> data2 = new ArrayList<>();

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    for (int i = 0 ; i< 10 ;i++){
        data1.add(String.valueOf(i));
    }

    for (int i = 20; i < 30; i++){
        data2.add(String.valueOf(i));
    }

    Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.demo);
    adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this,android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,list);
    spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
}

private void change(boolean which){
    if (which){
        list.clear();
        list.addAll(data1);

    }else{
        list.clear();
        list.addAll(data2);

    }
    adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    if (id == R.id.action_no) {
        change(true);
        return true;
    }else if (id == R.id.action_ok){
        change(false);
        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
  }

when I swap the data in the spinner , there is a error :

W/Binder? Caught a RuntimeException from the binder stub implementation.
    java.lang.NullPointerException

This appears randomly as I click the action.

Which sdk version are you using? – Tableware

What exactly is your question? Are you trying to figure out what's causing this error, or how to address it? – Galangal

I think Resource Id is of type long. So typecast it in Long rather than int, Second thing try to return false instead of calling the super call – Garneau

Answer 1

W/Binder? Caught a RuntimeException from the binder stub implementation.
java.lang.NullPointerException

The message starts with W/, which means its just a warning. So you can ignore it. Its Android's internal ignorable issue.

This may be the source of the warning: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git/+/master/core/java/android/os/Binder.java#1054

If your code works correctly then you should ignore these warnings.
