      Hey there,

      I've managed to get the BACnet4J library running on my Android Things device ( a master on an MS/TP network), communicating with another BACnet device (another master). See my previous question for more info.

      However, when I try to send a WhoIsRequest to the other device, it reads in the response and then my whole application crashes. Here is a log:

      The crash and dump are not very useful, but it does say that the cause is a null pointer dereference.

      Although I can't reproduce it right now, sometimes when I run in debug mode in Android Studio, I get a different crash error:

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:764) 

      When I debug, I can get as far as line 109 of IAmRequest (in the handle method). That line is:

      localDevice.execute(() -> { ... });

      So I think it's to do with the runnable or something that is happening within the runnable, but I'm not sure. It doesn't get to line 118, which fires the IAmReceived callback.

      I've never seen this type of crash or error before, so any help would be appreciated. Maybe I'm just not setting everything up completely right.

      Here is my code:

      byte thermostatMACAddress = 17;
int networkNumber = 0;
int localDeviceId = 123;
UartInputStream ins = new UartInputStream(uartDevice);
UartOutputStream outs = new UartOutputStream(uartDevice, txControlPin);
MasterNode thermostatNode = new MasterNode("UART", ins, outs, thermostatMACAddress, 1);
MstpNetwork network = new MstpNetwork(thermostatNode, networkNumber);
DefaultTransport transport = new DefaultTransport(network);
localDevice = new LocalDevice(localDeviceId, transport);
try {
    localDevice.initialize();
    localDevice.getEventHandler().addListener(new Listener());
    localDevice.sendLocalBroadcast(new WhoIsRequest());
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

        @joshua said in Crash after receiving IAmRequest NPDU:

        That it is a SIGSEGV (segmentation violation) tells you that it's probably a null pointer dereferenced in some native code. Usually if I see a SIGSEGV I update Java if possible. An NPE in Java is just an exception, it doesn't arouse the OS to kill the process as an NPE in native code can. I guess in this case it would be update Kotlin. I am not sure of BACnet4J's compatibility or having been tested against Kotlin / Android. Do you know what version of Java this is running on? Is that the same JVM you're debugging against?

        So I think it's to do with the runnable or something that is happening within the runnable, but I'm not sure. It doesn't get to line 118, which fires the IAmReceived callback.

        I think it's related to versions. Your code looks fine. Certainly doesn't look like you are doing anything to cause a NoClassDefFoudError or a SIGSEGV, so I have to think there could be a compatibility issue with the JVM you're using, or a bug in that version of it.

          You were right, my Kotlin dependency was using the java 7 stdlib, not 8. That's why it complained and crashed at the lambda.

          I will remember your tip about SIGSEGV in the future!

          Thank you.
