@mdvacca as far as I understood, the viewpager removes the view (or a view containing the view), then the method gets called. At that point the view isn't there anymore and getting it via tag returns null. Can investigate more but it's kinda tricky, because it's very hard to reproduce reliably (you have to keep swiping back and forth).

@fourlastor I tried to find reviewers for this pull request and wanted to ping them to take another look. However, based on the blame information for the files in this pull request I couldn't find any reviewers. This sometimes happens when the files in the pull request are new or don't exist on master anymore. Is this pull request still relevant? If yes could you please rebase? In case you know who has context on this code feel free to mention them in a comment (one person is fine). Thanks for reading and hope you will continue contributing to the project.

I agree with @mdvacca. I think this is an threading issue. I don't think that silencing the exception is the right approach. PR #20025 should fix this issue.

Util this has landed you can try the steps described by @SudoPlz here: #17178 (comment)

That's fair enough, I'll close this then! Thanks for getting back to me (I tried to investigate but got pretty much stuck at the same point every time)
