Null pointer exception in saveInAppExternalFilesDir() method

[rastogitech]

Hi, I'm using following line in my Application class's onCreate() method:

EasyImage.configuration(this).saveInAppExternalFilesDir().setImagesFolderName("/ByDay/Recipes");

This give NPE on some devices. I tested on API level 19 emulator and got this:

Failed to execute task.

Does it still happen on the latest version? What are the known devices it happens for

It happened on Nexus 5x. It's extreme issue. It's no more happening now.
