[android-developers] Re: Curious NPE

By the way, the whole JSONException stuff is foobar-ed:

There is a way to avoid JSONException to be thrown by using the opt*
methods for reads, which I am doing now as I know that I created the
data and it must be there. But, there is no way to avoid catching the
JSONException on put* operations as it will check the arguments to be
NULL's and if they are, it throws the JSONException instead of just a
NPE.
