Description

Android API:
Mapbox Navigation SDK version: 9.6.0 and Navigator 1.1.0 & 1.3.0

Steps to trigger behavior
  1. Basically I'm using the sample from here https://docs.mapbox.com/android/navigation/guides/install/ (however it is converted into a different language).
  2. Pause/Switch Application
Expected behavior

No Crash

Actual behavior

Crash

Appears to be like #1971, however the stack trace appears to be slightly different.


This occurs when I click the Switch application button (i.e. Square Nav Button); the app throws this error. I am logging all the events; and I see:
The Pause & Stop events in sequence, which I then chain to the MapBox Navigator onPause, onStop calls exactly like the demo. However about 1/2 a second after; I get the below stack trace crash.... I've also tried not sending the onStop, onPause, etc... No change...

Based on the callstack below; I suspect the issue is something has already called:
https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-android/blob/master/libnavigation-ui/src/main/java/com/mapbox/navigation/ui/RecenterButton.java#L142-L146

And
https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-android/blob/master/libnavigation-ui/src/main/java/com/mapbox/navigation/ui/RecenterButton.java#L144
This line I believe is actually invalid, as nothing in the code will re-create the MultiOnClickListener again in this element.
as it is only created during creation of it, so if this element is re-attached it will misbehave and crash later:
https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-android/blob/master/libnavigation-ui/src/main/java/com/mapbox/navigation/ui/RecenterButton.java#L29

According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/65227045 & https://proandroiddev.com/make-your-custom-view-lifecycle-aware-its-a-piece-of-cake-90b7c0498686 it appears onDetachFromWindow is NOT the place to cleanup/null things like this, as the view can be re-attached without being re-created if used in things like tabs/pagers. So nulling the listener will lead to a crash if it is re-attached. In addition it might be good if you checked to verify that the MultiOnClickListener isn't null in the clearListeners function on line 143 as something obviously called this function a second time...

Research direction

Start with libnavigation-ui/src/main/java/com/mapbox/navigation/ui/RecenterButton.java, especially onDetachedFromWindow and clearListeners, and review the provided stack trace. Reproduce the crash by switching away from the sample navigation app, then verify that detaching and reattaching the view no longer causes the null-object crash.
