Android - NullPointerException on accessing RadioButton array

Question

Ok, so I think I might have some insight on how to solve this one, but I'm not exactly sure. I have a piece of code first declares a RadioButton[], then a method that sets it to a specific thing then another method that checks which RadioButton is checked.

RadioButton[] rB = null;

String geUrl(RadioButton[] rBp) {
    for(int radind = 0; radind < rBp.length; radind++) {
        Log.d("APP", "rBp value is " + rBp.toString());
        Log.d("APP", "In for loop, index = " + radind + ", length = " + rBp.length);
        if (rBp[radind].isChecked()) {
            String url = rB[radind].getText().toString();
            Log.d("APP", "Detected url, " + url);
            return url;
        }
    }
    return "err";
}

public void refresh() {
    if (rB != null) {
        rG.removeAllViews();
    }
for(int index = 0; index < tempWikiDB.size() ; index++) {
    rB = new RadioButton[tempWikiDB.size()];
    rB[index]  = new RadioButton(this);
    rG.addView(rB[index]);
    rB[index].setText(tempWikiDB.toArray()[index].toString());
}

}

The geUrl method is supplied with a sufficient argument. But, on run, I get a null pointer exception of the line if (rBp[radind].isChecked()). I think this is because RadioButton[] rB = null; isn't how I should declare the variable, but I don't know how otherwise.

Here's the logcat:

在每次循环迭代中初始化rB数组时，请将此行从for循环中删除

rB = new RadioButton[tempWikiDB.size()];
