Saved state exception

Question

I'm getting the following exception with my app. I believe this happens when the user leaves the app for a long time then returns to it. I am unable to replicate it however it is showing up in my crash logs a lot. I have no idea why this is happening so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.myapp/com.myapp.MyActivity}: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=3; index=-1

Line 235 is the following:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);    // line 235

My onSaveInstanceState() is pretty simple:

@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle state) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(state);

    state.putInt("id1", id1);
    state.putInt("id2", id2);
    state.putInt("id3", id3);
    state.putInt("id4", id4);

}

I ran into this same problem, I believe it a bug with android. Take a look at this thread for a possible solution http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22404
