A small number of users are affected by this crash (report via Crahlytics) & it seems to be very device-specific (mentioned above).

Might be related to

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/118020865. BTW, I'm using 1.1.0-alpha01.

Project:

https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/Robot-Scouter/tree/2e3100276e5fe2cbad8a2cbb36303694e9f46bbd
Setup: ./gradlew setup

This is due to a bug in Fragment - using 1.1.0-alpha02 of Preference uses a newer Fragment dependency, and fixes this issue.

Actually, I just checked and it still crashes using 1.1.0-alpha02.

Could you maybe upload a simpler project with reproduction steps? Or at least provide reproduction steps for the project you linked - Does it crash when using Preference 1.0.0?

This still seems suspiciously similar to

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/120240628, which can not be reproduced with 1.1.0-alpha02 (following the reproduction steps in the first comment).

Marked as fixed.

Hi guys. I can also confirm that it still crashes using preferences 1.1.0-alpha02. I ran the barebones sample project included in

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/120240628 on a Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime running Android 6.0.1.

If I use 1.0.0 version, the NPE issue will not appear. If I use any of the 1.1.0 alphas with/without fragments 1.1.0-alpha02, the NPE issue is there. This issue also exists for MultiSelectListPreference.
