java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Failed to obtain information about private key
<p>I have the following lines to get the private key from key store on Android</p>

<pre><code>KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore");
keyStore.load(null);

// generating key pair code omitted

KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry privateKeyEntry = (KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry) this.keyStore.getEntry("alias", null);
</code></pre>

<p>Everything works fine except that when the OS upgrades from Android 5.1.1 to Android 6.0.1, the 3rd line will throw <code>java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Failed to obtain information about private key</code> for very first execution. But it will work fine again afterward. Now my workaround is to execute the line for 2 times. At the same time, I am also wondering if there is better way to avoid the exception.</p>

<p>The exception trace</p>
