Solution

  • I have resolved this issue by own. In my case , I was adding my custom view on overrided method setExtractView(View view). But I was not removing views first.

    Let me explain :

    @Override
public void setExtractView(View view) {
  // You have to do this if you are not doing so
  view.removeAllViews() ; // This is the line 
  view.addView(yourView) ; // Here you can put your own  Custom view 
  super.setExtractView(view);
}

    This is working for me. I hope this will help you when you will get the issue like 

    "Unexpected null in startExtractingText : mExtractedText = null, input connection = com.android.internal.view.InputConnectionWrapper"
