I'm struggling to close these two timer tasks
I have
@Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer arg0) {
try {
mMediaPlayer.stop();
mMediaPlayer = null;
if (timer != null) {
timer.cancel();
timer.purge();
Thread.sleep(500);
}
timer = null;
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
The sleep just to give it chance to run through
But I get a NullPoinerException on the sleep line
Thread [<12> Timer-0] (Suspended (exception NullPointerException))
Timer$TimerImpl.run() line: 290
this Timer$TimerImpl (id=830020453552)
currentTime 1309378473189
pos 0
task Video2$2 (id=830013266400)
cancelled false
fixedRate false
lock Object (id=830013265024)
period 500
scheduledTime 1309378473189
this$0 Video2 (id=830013820608)
when 1309378473690
So how does one close the timer once the video has come to and end ?
Thanks in advance
