Qoppa PDF Android NullPointer

Question

I`m trying qoppapdf in my App and it runs into an NullPointer in the following code:

 PDFDocument pdf = null;
    try {
        pdf = new PDFDocument(url, null);
    } catch (PDFException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    PDFPage page = pdf.getPage(0);

The error reads:

06-01 17:29:59.687  24761-24761/app W/dalvikvm﹕ Exception Ljava/lang/NullPointerException; thrown while initializing Lcom/qoppa/android/pdfProcess/PDFPage;

            at com.qoppa.android.pdfProcess.PDFDocument.<init>(Unknown Source)

The url which is used as input is valid and works fine with other PDF-Viewer. Does anyone experienced this or similar problems? Am I doing it wrong?

I would be pleased to hear from you :-)

Please add the following code before loading the document:

//this static allows the sdk to access font assets,
//it must be set prior to utilizing libraries
StandardFontTF.mAssetMgr = getAssets();
