Null Pointer Exception when capture session is started about cameraview HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm also having this issue on Android 6.0 and 7.0.
I have a CameraActivity where I start the CameraView in onResume and stop it in onPause. When I call startActivityForResult() and return in onActivityResult(), I start another Activty before going through the lifecycle of CameraActivity. Somehow this causes the issue mentioned above when calling cameraView.stop() in onPause()

I made a pull request for a null check that avoids this issue and fixes the problem in the case that I mentioned above

Thanks. Will pull it.

In my case, I am using service to host the camera view. User can toggle the camera view which I handle by removing and adding the view through window manager. Every time I add it to window, I call start on the camera view and that's where it fails sometimes.
