Content Service Crash

Question

I get weird exception:

10-31 09:09:51.308: ERROR/ContentService(59): Content Service Crash 10-31 09:09:51.308: ERROR/ContentService(59): java.lang.NullPointerException 10-31 09:09:51.308: ERROR/ContentService(59): at android.content.ContentService$ObserverNode.collectObserversLocked(ContentService.java:620) 10-31 09:09:51.308: ERROR/ContentService(59): at android.content.ContentService.notifyChange(ContentService.java:134) 10-31 09:09:51.308: ERROR/ContentService(59): at android.content.IContentService$Stub.onTransact(IContentService.java:91) 10-31 09:09:51.308: ERROR/ContentService(59): at android.content.ContentService.onTransact(ContentService.java:83) 10-31 09:09:51.308: ERROR/ContentService(59): at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:288) 10-31 09:09:51.308: ERROR/ContentService(59): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method)

after that - only a restart of the emulator helps. anyone knows what is this?

You cannot use arbitrary strings with Uri.parse() and expect it to work. The Uri needs to be a real Uri supplied by a real content provider.
