I have an AsyncTask that I have added to a web service call on my android app. When I step through the code in debug mode I do not get the null pointer on my variable called evacRoute but when I run it by just playing I am getting a null pointer exception on if (!evacRoute.getLatLngs().isEmpty()) on my locationlistener below:
/**
*Mylocationlistener class will give the current GPS location
*with the help of Location Listener interface
*/
private class PointLocationListener implements LocationListener {
private boolean zoomed = false;
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
// ---Get current location latitude, longitude---
Log.d("LOCATION CHANGED", location.getLatitude() + "");
Log.d("LOCATION CHANGED", location.getLongitude() + "");
latitude = 36.857648;
longitude = -76.170959;
currentLocation = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
//currentLatLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
Marker currentLocationMarker = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(currentLocation).title("Current Location"));
// Move the camera instantly to current location with a zoom of 15.
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(currentLocation, 15));
// Zoom in, animating the camera.
if (evacName != null){
String latStr = String.valueOf(latitude);
String longStr = String.valueOf(longitude);
AsyncRoute asyncRoute = new AsyncRoute(evacName, currentLocation, latStr, longStr);
asyncRoute.execute();
System.out.println();
}
if (!zoomed) {
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(12), 2000, null);
zoomed = true;
}
if (!firstPass){
currentLocationMarker.remove();
}
firstPass = false;
Toast.makeText(MapViewActivity.this,"Latitude = "+
latitude + "" +"Longitude = "+ longitude,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
evacRoute = DALController.sharedInstance().getSelectedEvacRoute();
if (fuelStopBundle != null){
String shelorfuelAddress = fuelStopBundle.getString("key");
String type = fuelStopBundle.getString("type");
String evacStr = fuelStopBundle.getString("evacObject");
if (shelorfuelAddress != "" && shelorfuelAddress != null && type.equals("fuelstop")){
try {
ShowFuelStopAndRoute(shelorfuelAddress);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else if (shelorfuelAddress != "" && shelorfuelAddress != null && type.equals("shelter")){
try {
ShowShelterAndRoute(shelorfuelAddress);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else if (evacStr != null && evacRoute != null){
if (!evacRoute.getLatLngs().isEmpty()){
showEvacuationRoute(evacRoute);
}
}
} else {
}
} else {
}
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
}
And here is my AsyncTask:
public class AsyncRoute extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, EvacRoute > {
public String routeName;
public LatLng currentLocation;
public String lat;
public String lon;
public AsyncRoute (String routeName, LatLng currentLocation, String lat, String lon){
this.routeName = routeName;
this.currentLocation = currentLocation;
this.lat = lat;
this.lon = lon;
}
@Override
protected EvacRoute doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
return DALController.sharedInstance().getEvacuationRoute(routeName, currentLocation, lat, lon);
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SAXException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(EvacRoute result) {
// Function finished and value has returned.
}
}
and here is the method that gets called in the AsyncTask method above:
public EvacRoute getEvacuationRoute(String routeName, LatLng currentLocation, String lat, String lon) throws URISyntaxException, ClientProtocolException, IOException, ParserConfigurationException, SAXException{
evacRouteList = new ArrayList<EvacRoute>();

Here is the stacktrace:

The line 499 on mapview activity that I am getting the error is if (!evacRoute.getLatLngs().isEmpty()){ in the code above in the PointLocationListener because evacRoute.getLatsLngs() is null. Can I move some of the code into the onPostExecute and if so how?
