IllegalArgumentException: pointerIndex out of range from SwipeRefreshLayout

It is already logged at AOSP issue tracker.

You can fix it by subclasing the SwipeRefreshLayout and catching the exception, like:

public class SwipeRefreshLayout extends android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout {
    public SwipeRefreshLayout(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public SwipeRefreshLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        try {
            return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            //Fix for support lib bug, happening when onDestroy() is 
            return true;
        }
    }
}

I assume that exception is thrown while there is touch event still occurring (streamed down to the native touch while the Activity is about to onDestroy(). It is ok to mitigate this by catching the exception for the sake of avoiding crash. Activity is about to be destroyed if it has enter this state.

I'm not sure (havent tested), but you could try to prevent any events to be passed to implementation at all, if catching exception does not fit you.

public class ComeUpWithBetterNameSwipeRefreshLayout extends SwipeRefreshLayout {

    private boolean mAcceptEvents;

    public ComeUpWithBetterNameSwipeRefreshLayout(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public void setAcceptEvents(boolean mAcceptEvents) {
        this.mAcceptEvents = mAcceptEvents;
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        return mAcceptEvents? super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev) : true;
    }

    public ComeUpWithBetterNameSwipeRefreshLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }
    @Override
    protected void onAttachedToWindow() {
        super.onAttachedToWindow();
        mAcceptEvents = true;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDetachedFromWindow() {
        super.onDetachedFromWindow();
        mAcceptEvents = false;
    }
}

or

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    mSwipeRefreshLayout.setAcceptEvents(false);
    AppMsg.cancelAll();
    SuperCardToast.cancelAllSuperCardToasts();

    super.onDestroy();
}

Take 2:

SwipeRefreshLayout tries to getY() from invalid pointer index, calling findPointerIndex(ev, activePointer) returns -1 if it fails to find. Preventing dispatching touch event with invalid pointer less than 0 and pointer index greater or equal than pointer count for that event will probably prevent validation of pointer inside native MotionEvent implementation from throwing IAE.

 @Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    if(ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL) {
        int pointerCount = MotionEventCompat.getPointerCount(ev);
        int index = MotionEventCompat.getActionIndex(ev);
        mActivePointerId = MotionEventCompat.getPointerId(ev, index);
        index = MotionEventCompat.findPointerIndex(ev,mActivePointerId);
        if (index > -1 && index < pointerCount) {
            super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
        } else {
            return true;
        }
    }else if(ev.getAction() == MotionEventCompat.ACTION_POINTER_DOWN && super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev)) {
        final int index = MotionEventCompat.getActionIndex(ev);
        mActivePointerId = MotionEventCompat.getPointerId(ev, index);
        return false;
    }else if(ev.getAction() == MotionEventCompat.ACTION_POINTER_UP && super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev)){
        onSecondaryPointerUp(ev);
        return false;
    }else if(ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN && super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev)){
        mActivePointerId = MotionEventCompat.getPointerId(ev, 0);
        return false;
    }
    return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
}

private void onSecondaryPointerUp(MotionEvent ev) {
    final int pointerIndex = MotionEventCompat.getActionIndex(ev);
    final int pointerId = MotionEventCompat.getPointerId(ev, pointerIndex);
    if (pointerId == mActivePointerId) {
        final int newPointerIndex = pointerIndex == 0 ? 1 : 0;
        mActivePointerId = MotionEventCompat.getPointerId(ev, newPointerIndex);
    }
}
