Android NPE issue when recording

[cfjedimaster]

Trying a very simple example using NS/Vue and I get this issue when I try to record.

JS: 'application.currentContext is deprecated; use startActivity, foregroundActivity, or context instead'
JS: [Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.XmlResourceParser android.content.pm.ProviderInfo.loadXmlMetaData(android.content.pm.PackageManager, java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

And here is the code I used:

        recordVideo() {
            console.log('click');
            let options = {
                saveToGallery: false,
                duration: 30,
                format: 'mp4',
                size: 10,
                hd: true,
                explanation: 'For testing purposes'
            }

            let videorecorder = new vr.VideoRecorder(options);

            videorecorder.record().then((data)=>{
                console.log(data.file)
            }).catch((err)=>{
                console.log(err)
            })

        }
