@animeshk08 It is yours, feel free to post updates on this thread :)

After looking a lot through the source code. I understand that the problem persists because we try to access a view element before the view is actually created. This happens in ContributionsFragment.
When the activity is recreated as there are savedinstances the following segment is executed.
Line:145
if (savedInstanceState != null) { mediaDetailPagerFragment = (MediaDetailPagerFragment) getChildFragmentManager() .findFragmentByTag(MEDIA_DETAIL_PAGER_FRAGMENT_TAG); contributionsListFragment = (ContributionsListFragment) getChildFragmentManager() .findFragmentByTag(CONTRIBUTION_LIST_FRAGMENT_TAG); shouldShowMediaDetailsFragment = savedInstanceState.getBoolean("mediaDetailsVisible"); }
However both mediaDetailPagerFragment and contributionsListFragment have not created their views yet. Hence the app crashes at Line:567
contributionsListFragment.showProgress(shouldShow);
as it could not find the view of progressbar

One possible solution I found was to finish and start the activity again instead of recreating. However, in this case, the state of the application is not maintained. So I don't know we would actually want that.

One more thing I don't understand the ability to open a nav drawer when you open an image to view because the left-most button indicates the functionality that we can go back at this stage. Maybe another solution would be to not show the navdrawer at all.

.

Can anyone help me with a better approach? @ashishkumar0207

Also, while exploring the bug I found that it was very prominent as it replicates itself even in the Bookmark section and Explore section.

ashishkumar468 · 2020-02-02T16:08:42Z

@animeshk08 Another simple (possible) solution should be to change the lifecycle callbacks where the presenter is attached/detached, instead of doing those in onCreateView & onDestroyView, we could do that in onResume & onStop (or if you think another better place). Ideally, the showProgress should not be called after the fragment is not longer active

Can I work on this issue?

@animeshk08 How is your progress? :-)

Assign me.

@4D17Y4 I think you already have another issue assigned? :-)

Since Animeshk08 has not replied, @gouri-panda can have this one if not already working on any other issue.
