When deleting DB, I get RuntimeException: Cannot convert argument of type class com.couchbase.lite.CouchbaseLiteException

Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn’t. My setup is typical. It is CBL 2.8.0 Android

public class DBManager {


    private static Database database;
    private static DBManager instance = null;

    DBManager(Context context, String DB_NAME) {

        this.createDatabase(DB_NAME);
    }

    private void createDatabase(String DB_NAME) {
        DatabaseConfiguration configuration = new DatabaseConfiguration();
        try {
            database = new Database(DB_NAME, configuration);
        } catch (CouchbaseLiteException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
       

    }

    public static void closeInstance(){
        instance = null;
    }

    public static DBManager getSharedInstance(Context context, String DB_NAME) {
        if (instance == null) {
            CouchbaseLite.init(context);
            instance = new DBManager(context, DB_NAME);
        }
        return instance;
    }

    public static Database getDatabase() {
        if (instance == null) {
            try {
                throw new Exception("Must call getSharedInstance first");
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
         return database;

    }

}

App:

DBManager.getSharedInstance(reactContext, "dbname");
database = DBManager.getDatabase();

try {
   //this.stopSyncing();
    database.delete();
    DBManager.closeInstance();
} catch (CouchbaseLiteException e) {
}

I am assuming the delete method stops the syncing, hence commented out (nor it had any effect in solving the above error). What I am doing wrong?

I’ll need the stack trace to diagnose this.
