Android Annotation - Null pointer Exception on methode init of the generated class

Question

I just start a new Android project, with the Android Annotation Library. Android Annotation

I've got two Activity : StartScreen who contains a button "information" who start a seconde Activity InfoActivity. Both are annotated.

The first one work very well, but when I clicked on the "Information" button, I've got a NullPointerException on the public static class IntentBuilder_ of the generated class : 'InfoActivity_'

Here is the error trace :

Here is the InfoActivity more or less empty :

@EActivity(R.layout.activity_info)
public class InfoActivity extends Activity {

}

Here is the InfoActivity_ :

public final class InfoActivity_
extends InfoActivity
{


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    init_(savedInstanceState);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(layout.activity_info);
}

private void init_(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
}

private void afterSetContentView_() {
}

@Override
public void setContentView(int layoutResID) {
    super.setContentView(layoutResID);
    afterSetContentView_();
}

@Override
public void setContentView(View view, LayoutParams params) {
    super.setContentView(view, params);
    afterSetContentView_();
}

@Override
public void setContentView(View view) {
    super.setContentView(view);
    afterSetContentView_();
}

public static InfoActivity_.IntentBuilder_ intent(Context context) {
    return new InfoActivity_.IntentBuilder_(context);
}

public static class IntentBuilder_ {

    private Context context_;
    private final Intent intent_;

    public IntentBuilder_(Context context) {
        context_ = context;
        intent_ = new Intent(context, InfoActivity_.class);
    }

    public Intent get() {
        return intent_;
    }

    public InfoActivity_.IntentBuilder_ flags(int flags) {
        intent_.setFlags(flags);
        return this;
    }

    public void start() {
        context_.startActivity(intent_);
    }

    public void startForResult(int requestCode) {
        if (context_ instanceof Activity) {
            ((Activity) context_).startActivityForResult(intent_, requestCode);
        } else {
            context_.startActivity(intent_);
        }
    }

}

}

And finally here is the `Android Manifest``

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.exemple.application"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="15"
    android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name=".activity.StartScreen_"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_start_screen" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name=".activity.InfoActivity_"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_info" >
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
            android:value="com.exemple.application.activity.StartScreen_" />
    </activity>
</application>

</manifest>

It is suppose to be very easy but I guess missed something

Answer 1

How do you start you're second activity ?

According to the stacktrace, it seems that the context in the Intent is null, so I think you made your call like this InfoActivity_.intent(null).start()

When you create a new activity you need to pass a context to it, so in the StartScreenActivity you should do something like this : InfoActivity_.intent(this).start()
