NPE Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.facebook.ads.internal.view.d.c.d com.facebook.ads.internal.view.j.getState()' about audience-network

[gregko]

Had the same problem on Android 5.1 (maybe others too, did not test). Per @reiterp-avs comment above, I removed:

android:visibility="gone"

from the XML layout of the native ad, and I set the visibility as needed in Java code instead. This fixed the problem.

Hi @Baobomb can you let us know more details about your problem?
Which SDK version are you using?
What is your inflate process?
If you can provide code snippets that you were able to reproduce the problem that would be great help!
Thanks

SDK version : 4.25.0
It happend when try to inflate layout which include
MediaView.

Happening on Android 4.x and 5.x devices using audience-network-sdk:4.26.0. Not reproduced on v.4.23.0, looks like the issue was introduced in v.4.24.0.

@Baobomb Do you set the MediaView visibility attribute in your layout? In case you do, maybe you can avoid the NPE by not setting it and set it at runtime, after the view is inflated.

Hi @Baobomb @vmalykhin unfortunately we weren't able to reproduce the problem. Would you mind provide a sample project so we can try to reproduce the problem? Thanks!

Hi, I have already reported the bug here https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/2003665309903654/ and the bug report includes sample.

@phzhou @reiterp-avs Hi guys I'm also facing the same issue, app crashes while using SDK version above v.4.23.0.

The issue is currently experiencing on xiaomi devices that running on MiUi.
Other tested devices are working normally

Hi @Baobomb @vmalykhin @reiterp-avs @Sarun1001 have you guys tried the latest SDK and see if it fixes your issue?
Also how are you guys using the SDK? Are you including it from the gradle build dependency, or include the SDK as aar file in the project libs folder?
