NullPointerException inside catch part

Question

I have a code like:

try{
    //todo somethins
} catch(Exception e){
    Log.e("tag", e.getMessage());
}

And I catched NullPointerException on row Log.e("tag", e.getMessage()); at google analytic page How is it possible?

Please post the stack trace and better describe the issue. Is `e` a `NullPointereException` or does invoking `Log.e` cause a `NullPointerException`? — Sotirios Delimanolis, Mar 26 '14 at 17:41
`Log` is probably `null` if I'm understanding your question correctly. — 2rs2ts, Mar 26 '14 at 17:42
How do you know that you catched a NullPointerException? You are catching _any_ Exception — donfuxx, Mar 26 '14 at 18:16

Your e.getMessage() is probably null. The exception that you are catching doesn't have a message.

Also don't try to catch raw exceptions. You could use NullPointerException.
