NullPointerException in BluetoothGatt.java on Nexus 4

I am disconnecting and closing a bluetooth GATT instance and see the following in logcat:

07-22 09:33:20.699    5095-5113/com.assaabloy.stg.cliqconnect.android W/BluetoothGatt﹕ Unhandled exception in callback
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at android.bluetooth.BluetoothGatt$1.onClientConnectionState(BluetoothGatt.java:168)
        at android.bluetooth.IBluetoothGattCallback$Stub.onTransact(IBluetoothGattCallback.java:71)
        at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:404)
        at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method)

Here are the native events that immediately precede this error:

07-22 09:33:20.689    1260-1277/? D/BtGatt.GattService﹕ clientDisconnect() - address=84:EB:18:44:D2:04, connId=9

OS version: Android 4.4.4

Device: Nexus 4

Can someone please explain what's going on?

I got a similar exception on Samsung SM G318H, "Trend 2 Lite":

D/BluetoothGatt( 4182): onClientConnectionState() - status=0 clientIf=6 device=D0:5F:B8:57:FE:33
W/BluetoothGatt( 4182): Unhandled exception in callback
W/BluetoothGatt( 4182): java.lang.NullPointerException
W/BluetoothGatt( 4182): at android.bluetooth.BluetoothGatt$1.onClientConnectionState(BluetoothGatt.java:172)
W/BluetoothGatt( 4182): at android.bluetooth.IBluetoothGattCallback$Stub.onTransact(IBluetoothGattCallback.java:71)
W/BluetoothGatt( 4182): at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:404)
W/BluetoothGatt( 4182): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method)

when trying to reconnect from inside the state change handler:

public final void onConnectionStateChange(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status, int newState) {

  switch (newState) {
     case BluetoothProfile.STATE_DISCONNECTED:
       device.connectGatt(...);
       break;
  }

}

and solved it by moving the reconnect to a timer thread:

    case BluetoothProfile.STATE_DISCONNECTED:
      timer.schedule(
        new TimerTask() {
          @Override
          public void run() {
            device.connectGatt(...);
          }
        }, 3000);
      break;

One solution is just invoke disconnect() on BluetoothGatt object. Call the close() in OnConnectionStateChange() callback.

It seems you can't call these method together. The disconnection callback might arrive later than close() method performed.

You can add mGatt.close(); into onConnectionStateChange callback to close the connection.

At this position BluetoothGatt tries to call onConnectionStateChange(...) on your BluetoothGattCallback instance.

Have you overridden that one?

private final BluetoothGattCallback gattCallback = new BluetoothGattCallback() {
        @Override
        public void onConnectionStateChange(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status, int newState) {
        ...
        }
}
