Null pointer exception with linked hashmap

Question

Crashlytics is showing a few crashes on the following line:

if(appObj.getStationsList().get(tag)!=null){

getStationsList() returns a LinkedHashMap<String, StationInfo>. How can I avoid getting this error? It's ironic that my very check to avoid this error actually resulted in it.

`appObj.getStationsList()` is `null` and you're not checking that... — Luiggi Mendoza, May 13 '14 at 13:49

You will have to check:

if(appObj.getStationsList()==null)

replace

if(appObj.getStationsList().get(tag)!=null){

with

 if(appObj.getStationsList() !=null && appObj.getStationsList().get(tag)!=null){

}

This line is symbolic Object obj = appObj.getStationsList(); Object should be replaced with station and also must be upcast while getting – Macrosoft-Dev May 13 '14 at 14:12

When providing answers, provide compilable code or post that you're showing pseudocode. – Luiggi Mendoza May 13 '14 at 14:13
