NullPointerException in CoordinatorLayout onTouchEvent

Question

I'm getting this error in my app with no clear reason. None of the lines are related to my code and I really don't know what's the problem and how to fix that.

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
      Process: com.afranet.salesportal, PID: 20933

Here are my layouts:

</RelativeLayout>

It seems there is something wrong with CoordinatorLayout code in onTouchEvent method.

Answer 1

It seems it's a bug in Support Library com.android.support:design:23.0.0. I found these answers for solving the problem.

1- Updating Support Library will fix the problem automatically.

2- Overriding dispatchTouchEvent method in activity will fix the problem:

@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    try {
        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return false;
    }
}

3- This answer is also nice :

ViewGroup appBarLayout = (ViewGroup) ret.findViewById(R.id.appbarlayout);
            for (int i = 0; i < appBarLayout.getChildCount(); i++) {
                View childView = appBarLayout.getChildAt(i);
                if (!childView.isClickable()) {
                    childView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
                        @Override
                        public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
                            return true;
                        }
                    });
                }
            }
