Activators are for the lifecycle management of the plugin. The activators are mainly used during the startup and shutdown of the plugin. If its going through the activator, the view is not created already. Can you give some more info on what you are trying to do?
Did you try
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().findView(View.ID);
