android populate another class ArrayList

Question

I am trying to make a code to populate an array from one class from the outputs of an async task.

Now the code is giving me null reference.. Putting the code below

ARRAY CLASS:

public class ClientDiscovery {
public static ArrayList<InetAddress> clientes;

public static void addclient(InetAddress address)
{
clientes.add(address);
}

public static void removeclient(InetAddress address)   
{
clientes.remove(address);
}

public static ArrayList<InetAddress>getclient()
{
Set<InetAddress> noduplicate = new HashSet<>();
if (!(clientes ==null)) {
    noduplicate.addAll(clientes);
    clientes.clear();
    clientes.addAll(noduplicate);
}
return clientes;
}

}

ASYNC TASK FILLING THE ARRAY

public class RequestDiscoveryAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>{

Context context;
public RequestDiscoveryAsyncTask(Context context) {
    this.context = context.getApplicationContext();
}

@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void...voids) {


     ///HERE I INITIALIZE THE SOCKETS ****INTENTIONALLY OMITED TO EASY READING*** 


    /*HERE I INTENT TO GET THE ACK BACK FROM THE CLIENTES "MY CUSTOM ACK"*/

    while(!timeout) {
        byte[] ready = new byte[5];

        DatagramPacket pkgready = new DatagramPacket(ready, 0, 5);
            socket.receive(pkgready);
        if (new String(pkgready.getData()).contains("READY"))
            ClientDiscovery.addclient(pkgready.getAddress());
        }

    }
return null;
}


}

The socket initialization and catching exception are omited for easy reading.

Just create object, currently ArrayList object does not exist Add this line: public static ArrayList<InetAddress> clientes = new ArrayList<InetAddress>();
