I "set" immersive mode for the Main; from here I start another Activity and Activity_WindowFocusChanged causes a crash if I start the app in debug mode (see the test project attached).

Copying updated assets files (1)
*** Service (starter) Create ***
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **
Error occurred on line: 44 (Main)
java.lang.NullPointerException

Tested only on an Android 4.4.2.

In the test project attached to the first post, it seems you can solve by changing Sleep(300) to Sleep(100):
B4X:
Sub Activity_WindowFocusChanged(HasFocus As Boolean)
    If HasFocus Then
        Try
            Dim jo As JavaObject = Activity
            Sleep(100)
            jo.RunMethod("setSystemUiVisibility", Array As Object(5894)) '3846 - non-sticky
        Catch
            Log(LastException)
        End Try
    End If
End Sub

but in other projects this change does not solve.

Did you read that from Erel?
he code was updated with a small change.

The Log(LastException) line was commented. The Activity_WindowFocusChanged event can fire after the activity was paused and this line can cause an untrapped exception to be raised.

I tried it with the tip of Erel and it works. :)

Sometimes the error happens when I write nothing in the Catch part; so I write a Sleep there but... sometimes Sleep(100) is not enough, I have to increase the time, sometimes it is the opposite, I have to decrease this value.

Going by trial:
sometimes it can be solved by "cleaning" the project (CTRL+P), other times stopping the project using the device settings.


Can you post the logs after you commented the relevant line?
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **

Well, MAYBE I found something "useful" (for Erel :)).

Catch block empty. Start B4A, open the project, run and you get the error.
Change the Sleep command (it does not matter how many ms) inside the Activity_FocusChanged event routine and you no more get the error (in the same "b4a session").

Save the project changed, open and start it again... and again you get the error.
