Activity Lifecycle if button Home pressed Android example

Problemi is in e.getMessage() what can return null and Log.e (String tag, String msg) will throws an new exception !!!!
Problem and solution:

      	try {
      		int [] i = {1};
      		int z = i[5];
      	} catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
      		String s = e.toString(); // s == java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
                // try to testing String s for null value
      		if(s != null)
      		 Log.e("bla", s);
      		else 
      		 Log.e("bla", "My error text 1");
      		
      		String s2 = e.getMessage(); // s2 == null !!!!!!!
                // you need to testing String s2 for null value , or you get FATAL EXCEPTION: main
                // and application will be crashed
       		String s2 = e.getMessage(); // s2 == null !!!!!!!
      		if(s2 != null)
      		 Log.e("bla2", e.getMessage());
      		else 
      		 Log.e("bla2", "My error text 2");
     		
                // this is OK
      		e.printStackTrace();
      	}

LogCat:

E/bla(855): java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

 E/bla2(855): My error text 2

Or you can using this code:

      	try {
      		int [] i = {1};
      		int z = i[5];
      	} catch (Exception e) {
      		
      		
      		StringBuilder sb = new  StringBuilder().append(e.getClass().getSimpleName()); 
          if  (e.getMessage() != null) { 
              sb.append("

"); 
              sb.append(e.getMessage()); 
          } 
          Log.e("err", sb.toString()); // E/err(336): ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

          // this code write out all message
          Log.e("myError", "methodName", e);
       }
// E/myError(371): methodName
// E/myError(371): java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
// E/myError(371): 	at cz.okhelp.motion._MotionActivity.onTouchEvent(_MotionActivity.java:54)
// E/myError(371): 	at android.app.Activity.dispatchTouchEvent(Activity.java:2099)

Try this trick.
In AndroidManifest - activity tag write this code
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
App hold data of a views if will to rotation of device.

       <activity
 android:name=".Tests_Activity"
 android:label="@string/app_name"
 android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />
