I had recently a crash report where I could see that in the CountDownTimer's onTick method the getView() call returns null. I use the onTick method to display the remaining time in a textView. The textView is inside a Fragment.

Since the CountDownTimer runs in the UI thread I have no idea why this had happened.

What could be the cause for this and what is a possible workaround for this problem?

Thanks!

Bug in the official Android Fragments training sample?

It seems to me that there must be a bug in the Android Fragments demo.
