Fragment Crashes on ViewPager's OnPageChangeListener's onPageSelected method

Question

I met a strange thing with ViewPager. I googled but do not find anything useful.
So I post what I have met here, maybe later someone get the same problem, or maybe luckily some genius guys can solve it.
The situation shows as following:
There are two page in the demo application.

1. HomeActivity is the main page, and there is a viewpager in it. The viewpager have five fragments(Class PlusOneFragment) in it. In the fagment, there are two textviews. In the onCreateView method we assign one TextView to mValueTv field.
2. AboutActivity is the other page used to trigger a application crash. Beacause I have used UncaughtExceptionHandler to catch exception in a custom Application class, which inherit from android.app.Application . So then application will goto the HomeActivity.

But when crashing, Then something sucks. The applcation crashes again.
That really bugged me.
In the HomeActivity, the viewpager has a ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener.
When its page changed, a methond of the specific position's fragment will be invoked in the onPageSelected method.
The method will set fragment mValueTv's value. In normal situation, it works fine, but when it comes to crash, the method throws a java.lang.NullPointerException exception.

Because there were too much code, so I packed them. The demo link is .
I really hope someone can help me. Thanks very much.

Answer 1

Finally, with my team leader's help, I found that some fragments were not attached to the HomeActivity When crashing back to HomeActivity.
The onPageSelected method is invoked ahead of onCreateView method.
The solution is doing getActivity null check in PlusOneFragment's onPageSeleted method.

    public void onPageSeleted(int position) {
    if (getActivity() == null) {
        return;
    }
    mValueTv.setText("onPageSeleted-Value:" + position + "--" + SystemClock.currentThreadTimeMillis());
}
