I am getting the following error:
07-11 17:33:27.250: E/AndroidRuntime(1675): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{uk.co.myapp.gtvremote/uk.co.myapp.gtvremote.SlidepuzzleActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException
Not sure what I have done wrong, welcome any suggestions and/or comments.
Also you may note from the code that I am trying to reuse the AnymoteClientService. I am assuming that the way I have done it here is correct, is it?

I have marked in the SlidepuzzleActivity.java excerpt where the exception is being thrown with //THIS IS WHERE I THINK THE EXCEPTION IS BEING THROWN
As far as I can see mContext is null; and it may be causing this exception when instantiating the Intent.
