assetmanager has been finalized?

Question

I'm getting that exception when I pick a wallpaper. I'm actually not sure what function is the culprit. Here's the error log:

       I/ActivityManager( 1360): Starting activity: Intent { cmp=com.android.wallpaper.livepicker/.LiveWallpaperPreview (has extras) }
       W/dalvikvm(29175): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x40020ac0)

The only thing I can think of is that onCreate doesn't get called in the right order when the wallpaper gets picked cuz that's where I instantiate the asset manager.

And yes, I'm using the NDK but the asset manager doesn't get used there.

Ah nevermind. The culprit was that the handle to the assetmanager was a static variable. (That was just a quick hack for something else). Making that a normal variable solved the problem.
