Question

i have written HttpDelete in android to call REST web service.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
    txt.setText(getInputStreamFromUrl("http://192.168.37.241:8080/kyaw/k"));
    }

    public static String getInputStreamFromUrl(String url) {
          InputStream content = null;
          HttpResponse response = null;
          try {

            DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();             
            HttpDelete delete=new HttpDelete(url);
            put.setHeader("Content-Type","application/vnd.org.snia.cdmi.container");
            response = httpclient.execute(delete);
            content = response.getEntity().getContent();
          }catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("[DELETE REQUEST]", "Network exception");
          }
            String result=response.getStatusLine().toString()+"\n"+response.getHeaders(url);
            return result;
        }

And I get the exception which is

05-23 08:30:16.868: ERROR/[DELETE REQUEST](1197): Network exception
05-23 08:30:16.868: DEBUG/AndroidRuntime(1197): Shutting down VM

05-23 08:30:16.908: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1197): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.test/com.test.putandroid}: java.lang.NullPointerException

Do anyone know why?
