NullPointerException while scrolling gallery widget

I have a strange error (NullPointerException) ocurring sometimes while using gallery widget, it occurs only sometimes when scrolling fast in different directions - what is strange, there's none of my classes in the stack trace.

does anyone have any idea what could cause the problem?

Yes it happens sometime. It happened with me as well. I wasn't able to find the root cause but what I did as a solution was to wrap the code with try catch and using a !null check solved my problem.
