`AnalyticsService` throws NPE in `onStartCommand` trying to dereference a `null` intent. #667

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Name of affected component: Mobile Tracking

Name of related library and version, if applicable (e.g. Android, iOS,
Snippets, etc.): Android 4.x and 5.x / 
`com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.5.0`

Issue summary:
I see several reports of crashes within `AnalyticsService` trying to 
dereference a `null` intent reference in `onStartCommand()`:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.content.Intent.getAction()' on a null object reference at com.google.android.gms.analytics.AnalyticsService.onStartCommand() at android.app.ActivityThread.handleServiceArgs(ActivityThread.java:3072) at android.app.ActivityThread.access$2100(ActivityThread.java:144) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1470) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:155) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5696) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:372) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:1028) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:823)


Steps to reproduce issue:
Unknown, I've only seen crash reports of this issue.

Expected output:
Nothing (i.e. no NPE) and proper handling of this case in `onStartCommand()`, 
or an exception which message clearly states the possible wrong usages of the 
analytics library which would have led to this error iff it is purposely not 
handled.

Actual results:
An uncaught NPE.

Notes:
See documentation for `onStartCommand` `intent` parameter:
> This may be null if the service is being restarted after its process has gone 
away, and it had previously returned anything except START_STICKY_COMPATIBILITY.

Same issue here, I cannot reproduce it but my crash reporting tools is 
reporting this crash more than 100x per day. 

The OS seems to be always android 5.x

@ #4 Yes! It is weird because I test with a 5.0 and a 5.1 device. I still 
cannot reproduce it.
