Null Pointer Exception in InputConnection.finishComposingText() method [duplicate]

Question

I am getting a NPE in inputmethod.InputConnection.finishComposingText(), The Log message is as follows:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke interface method 'boolean android.view.inputmethod.InputConnection.finishComposingText()' on a null object reference
        at android.view.inputmethod.InputConnectionWrapper.finishComposingText(InputConnectionWrapper.java:78)

        at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:699)

I am facing it in Android 5 but works fine in Android .

The error is not specifying any line of code from my code just telling some code lines from library.

I am facing it whenever I press back button to move from one activity to main activity. And yes also other activity contains EditText.

I removed all the instances of softKeyboard, I thought it was due to that

It will be great if someone can help me thanks in advance

Go to Edit configuration settings -> Profiling -> Enable advanced profiling this will prevent EditText from crashing.
