My App consists of 2 Activities at the moment.
. the MAIN activity with a Gallery View
. a FriendsListActivity with a ListView
When the user moves away from the FriendsListActivity with the back button, and returns to the MAIN activity the following error keeps popping up in debug mode.

Anyone has an idea why the App crashes. Any help is much appreciated.
I did find out that, when I finish() the MAIN activity when I start the FriendListActivity and restart the MAIN activity when closing the FriendListActivity, that the crash does not occur. However, this basically restarts the App and that is not the intention.
Thanks all, I got the problem solved. This is what I did.
. When moving all gallery related actions to the onCreate, the creash didn't happen anymore. But then after returning to the MAIN activity, the activity wasn't shown.
. I then moved all the onCreate (except the super), the generateGallery, and the onStart() to the onResume. Now
it works fine!
