Null Pointer exception in TextView getLeftFadingEdgeStrength is reported only through Android Market

I get a secret message registered through the Android Market; NullPointer in TextView getLeftFadingEdgeStrength (). I have never seen exceptions on any of my test devices. This seems to work with a minority of users, but I can't track it down to a specific version of Android or the release of my software.

The stack trace disappears somewhere in the platform interface code, without a link to anything from my application. I did a thorough search on Google and here for any hint of a problem, but to no avail.

I suspect that this may be due to the use of the marquee ellipse parameter in one of my TextViews ... and that the way I do it somehow throws an error in the code of the user interface widget on some platforms or versions. But this is a hunch, and I don’t want to spend too much time diving through a code platform haunting theories.

So, I thought I posted this problem here and see if anyone has encountered a similar problem or can help push a specific problem away.

The stack trace follows:

In case someone else encounters this problem, I have one user reporting the same crash on an Android 2.3.5 device.

nulljava.lang.NullPointerException    android.widget.TextView.getLeftFadingEdgeStrength(TextView.java:7449)    android.view.View.draw(View.java:7004)    android.view.ViewGroup.drawChild(ViewGroup.java:1646)    android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchDraw(ViewGroup.java:1373)    android.view.View.draw(View.java:6936)       ...

, , android: ellipsize = "marquee" android: ellipsize = "end". ( Android, getLeftFadingEdgeStrength, "marquee".)

Android, . , , , RTL, TextView .
