How can I know what threw the exception?

Question

First I just got to say, I know how to find my exception usually. But I encountered a situation where the stackstrace doesn't show any of my classes but only library classes.

I've tried debugging the code without success.

This is the stack trace

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: com.app.ys571.realdeal, PID: 11175

It is the stack trace when I'm trying to move from my main activity to another activity using my navigation drawer. It was terminated probably after the new activity onResume. I can't know exactly from what and where.

Thanks!

Answer 1

It looks like it's something to do with the ViewPager . I'm assuming in your new activity you have a ViewPager and I'm guessing it isn't getting instantiated correctly. Check out this question which seems to have the same problem and offers a few solutions.

If you use Android Studio, then you can use Exception Breakpoint while debugging. Here is a link that you can see the example.
