android.support.v4.app.FragmentManagerImpl catch NullPointerException?

Question

I need catch NullPointerException by FragmentManagerImpl.
But try ... catch does not work.
How to catch explicit NullPointerException on getItem()?

.......
        try {
              pagerAdapter = new TFragmentPagerAdapter(getFragmentManager());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(LOG_TAG, e.toString());
        }

..................

 private class TFragmentPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

        public TFragmentPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
            super(fm);
        }

        @Override
        public Fragment getItem(int position) {

            Fragment fragment = null;
            switch (training) {
                case VAR:
//                    fragment = getTFragment(position);
                    fragment = null;
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }

            if (fragment == null) {
                throw new RuntimeException();
            }

            return fragment;
        }
}

Stack trace I'm seeing

why is `fragment = getTFragment(position);` commented out ? is that where you crash? — petey, Dec 04 '15 at 16:22
If I want something that matter, throw in this place and catch an error. Or, as is possible at this point to interrupt the code? — JDev, Dec 04 '15 at 16:32

The code you posted basically works. Your problem lies elsewhere. Edit your post and show us the code around ActivityThread.java:5257.

For your reference this code shows what you were trying to do in public Fragment getItem(int position)... throw the exception you want and that it can be caught.

package org.jf;

public class SomeClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new SomeClass();
    }

    public SomeClass() {
        try {

            AClass x = new AClass();
            x.getItem(1);
        } catch (Exception e) {

            System.out.println("Caught");
        }
    }

    class AClass {
        public Object getItem(int position) {
            int training = 1;
            Object fragment = null;
            switch (training) {
                case 1:
//                    fragment = getTFragment(position);
                    fragment = null;
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }

            if (fragment == null) {
                throw new RuntimeException();
            }

            return fragment;
        }
    }
}

android.support.v4.app.FragmentManagerImpl catch NullPointerException?
