Re: [android-developers] Mystery Null Pointer Error - Seeking Opinions

OK - for the record ... I think I have fixed this based upon what was going on in line 377 (testing here that service is alive and passing false back if not). 

Thing is ... I am still perplexed as to why onPrepareOptionsMenu is getting called in the first place.  All that is occurring here is that the Activity is coming back into the foreground.  The menu button does not appear to have been called.

Mark,

Doh?  How did I miss this? 

I was testing the state of an object within a service that had not yet been restarted (resurrected?) after dying.

I think I was stuck on the onPrepareOptionsMenu part for some reason and did not look at #377.

Thank so much for the second set of eyes!

So...what's on line 377 of Peeps.java?

Personally, I'm hoping for a sugar-coated marshmallow confection, mostly
because Peeps are made by a local firm... ;-)
