- What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it? 12 answers
So my MainActivity was able to start my second activity from a btn click fine.
Now on my second activity, I have a drag and drop type game where what I want is one the correct image was dropped, I want it to start a 3rd Activity but I am getting a java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.content.Context.getPackageName()' on a null object reference
This is my code from my main which starts the 2nd activity. this works fine.
public void onClickadjectives(View v4) {
MainActivitytest.this.startActivity(new Intent(MainActivitytest.this, DragActivityV2.class));
}
Now on the second class, I have a HELPER class that determines the correct drop spot
public class DropSpot extends MyAbsoluteLayout
implements DropTarget, DragController.DragListener
{ // codes...
if (controller != null) {
controller.setDragListener (this);
controller.addDropTarget (this);
System.out.println("Correct Spot");
DragActivityV2 ca = new DragActivityV2();
ca.correctAns();
}
And now this is my second activity
public class DragActivityV2 extends Activity
implements View.OnLongClickListener, View.OnClickListener, View.OnTouchListener
{ //more codes...
public void correctAns()
{
Context context;
Intent intent = new Intent(this, FallAnimationActivity.class);
DragActivityV2.this.startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
when I run it, it crashes when i click on the btn to go to my second activity. This is the error

Now if i remove the calling of method and just put it on a button, it works fine. But i really want it to go to the 3rd activity ONLY if the correct img was dropped.
Can anyone PLEASE help me thank you so much in advance.
EDIT I added most of my 2nd activity codes...
