KmlLayer containers are only exposed after calling addLayerToMap()

[rrforte]

Calling KmlLayer::getContainers() returns null when calling it prior to adding the layer to the map by calling KmlLayer::addLayerToMap(). This makes it impossible to retrieve containers (and nested data) without adding the layer to the map first, and also causes KmlLayer::hasContainers() to fail with a NullPointerException.

The cause is that KmlRenderer::mContainers is only set during addLayerToMap (and retains its initial null value until that point).

A current workaround seems to call addLayerToMap() followed by removeLayerFromMap() though this is far from ideal.

Yes this is annoying if you want to overide Kml default style for exemple.

any solution here?
i want to remove kml's polygons' border/width size

has said above, you have to add the layer to the map before working with Containers or Placemarks.

however, not sure you will be able to change all properties.
