Solution that demonstrates problem

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12)
Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12

If you pass a null for the projection or selectionArgs parameters in the
Activity.ManagedQuery() or ContentResolver.Query() methods, a
System.ArgumentNullException is thrown.

The methods work as expected by replacing null with new string[]{}. Passing
null in the equivalent Java methods in an Eclipse project execute successfully.

By inspecting the error logs, it appears that the
Android.Runtime.JNIEnv.CopyArray() method is called before checking to see if
the array is null.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a MonoDroid project, implement a ContentProvider
2. In your activity, call the Activity.ManagedQuery() method passing null as
the selectionArgs parameter.
3. Run the application (F5 or Ctrl-F5)
4. Wait for exception
Actual Results:  
The system throws a runtime error. The relevant log entries:

E/AndroidRuntime(  671): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity
ComponentInfo{com.example.contentprovidersandbox/com.example.contentprovidersandbox.MyActivity}:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: System.ArgumentNullException: Argument
cannot be null.

Expected Results:  
Runtime execution w/o exceptions.
