getResources（）上的nullPoint异常

Question

i' m getting nullPoint exception on getResources() method. I'm starting the activity below from an another class with this:

Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), FooActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(intent);

and from the activity called, i have set the context that is used by a not-Activity class.

class FooActivity {

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    [...]
    Display display  = new Display(...);
    display.setContext(this.getApplicationContext());
  }
}

class that use the getResources() method:

class Display{
   private static Context context;

   public Display(...){ } 

   public void doSomething(){
     **** NullPoint exception Row ****
    Bitmap bitmpa = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.custom_marker);
   }

   public void setContext(Context context) {
     if (context == null)
      this.context = context;
    }
}

my Logcat:

is the context not set properly , that cause the nullPoint?

Answer 1

Add the initialisation of the context to the Constructor like this :

public Display(Context context){ 
       this.context = context;
   }
