Possible bug with MatrixOfPoint2f fromList (Bug #1808)

I am using OpenCV4Android, I tried the following:

1MatOfPoint2f mObjPoints = new MatOfPoint2f();
2mObjPoints.fromList(currentObjectPoints); //currentObjectPoints is an ArrayList<Point> - not empty

Error:

Upon inspect method that gives this error:

1file: MatOfPoint2f.java
2
3public void fromList(List<Point> lp) {
4        Point ap[] = lp.toArray(null);
5        fromArray(ap);
6}

Somehow the problem is with that toArray(null), i think.
I would say this is probably java version dependent, so here is my version:

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_20" 
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.13) (6b20-1.9.13-0ubuntu1~10.04.1)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)

I did the following work around that seems to work, i created a local fromList instead of the OpenCV one:

1   private MatOfPoint2f hackFromList(List<Point> lp) {
2       Point ap[] = lp.toArray(new Point[0]); // the only difference is here
3
4       MatOfPoint2f tmpMat = new MatOfPoint2f();
5       tmpMat.fromArray(ap);
6
7       return tmpMat;
8   }
