getRealItem throws NullPointerException

[mycodedstuff]

I came to know about this when I tried to implement auto scroll.
Even I tried to implement auto scroll myself using a separate thread but at getRealItem it throws NullPointerException.

Below is the logcat of exception :

java.lang.NullPointerException
                               at com.gigamole.infinitecycleviewpager.InfiniteCycleManager.getRealItem(InfiniteCycleManager.java:370)
                               at com.gigamole.infinitecycleviewpager.HorizontalInfiniteCycleViewPager.getRealItem(HorizontalInfiniteCycleViewPager.java:226)
                               at in.sabstore.HomeActivity$5$1.run(HomeActivity.java:409)

I had exactly the same question. This is a minor bug of this library. But you can avoid this simply by adding at least 3 items to PagerAdapter before you set it to HorizontalInfiniteCycleViewPager.

The reason why it crashes and throws a null pointer exception is,
in class com.gigamole.infinitecycleviewpager.InfiniteCycleManager
Line 313

public PagerAdapter setAdapter(final PagerAdapter adapter) {
// If adapter count bigger then 2 need to set InfiniteCyclePagerAdapter
if (adapter != null && adapter.getCount() >= MIN_CYCLE_COUNT) {
mItemCount = adapter.getCount();
mInfiniteCyclePagerAdapter = new InfiniteCyclePagerAdapter(adapter);
mInfiniteCyclePagerAdapter.setOnNotifyDataSetChangedListener(this);
return mInfiniteCyclePagerAdapter;
} else {
if (mInfiniteCyclePagerAdapter != null) {
mInfiniteCyclePagerAdapter.setOnNotifyDataSetChangedListener(null);
mInfiniteCyclePagerAdapter = null;
}
return adapter;
}
}

If you do not have 3(MIN_CYCLE_COUNT) or more items in adapter, the member mInfiniteCyclePagerAdapter will not be created. So when you invoke getRealItem() it crashes.
