Or we need to add gard in increment function to filter null object out.

We need to add guard before we try to increase the reference count. String iconDescription = InvocationUtils.invokeAndWait(new Callable<String>() { @Override public String call() throws Exception { return ai[0].getAccessibleIconDescription(); } }, ac); if (iconDescription != null) { debugString ("bk -- The Virtual Accessible Name was obtained from the description of the first Accessible Icon found in the LABEL object."); references.increment (iconDescription); return iconDescription; }
