Creating and adding Markers to a Google Map

Question

Adding a Google Map to my android app. Trying to create a new Marker and add it to the map and also to a list of Markers:

public void createMarkersFromList(){
    for(int i = 0; i < buildingList.size(); i++){
        double lat = Double.parseDouble(buildingList.get(i).getLatitude());
        double lng = Double.parseDouble(buildingList.get(i).getLongitude());
        LatLng position = new LatLng(lat, lng);
        String name = buildingList.get(i).getName();
        Marker m = fm.getMap().addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
                                            .position(position)
                                            .title(name));
        markers.add(m);
    }
}

But, I'm getting a NullPointerException error in the log and the app is crashing. What am I doing wrong?
