Question

I read this tutorial and using code from it to implement ScoreLoop service in my Game. And submiting score working fine, but show other android activity or simple Toast message are crashes with NullPointer error.

Crashes in line:

Intent intent = new Intent(mContext, EntryScreenActivity.class);

and in:

Toast.makeText(mContext, "Refreshing scores", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 

In debug mode i saw that mContext is not null

Where is error and how fix it?

========================================================================

public class ActionResolverAndroid implements ActionResolver {
  Handler uiThread;
  BumbleAndroid mContext; //Your class here which extends AndroidApplication
  ScoreloopHandler handler;

  public ActionResolverAndroid(BumbleAndroid mContext) {
      uiThread = new Handler(); //This binds the handler to the "main" thread, see documentation of handler
      this.mContext = mContext;
      handler = new ScoreloopHandler(mContext);
  }
}

In this way I getting mContext

Answer 1

The problem was in wrong mContext.

correct code is:

public class MyGameAndroidActivity extends AndroidApplication implements
        ActionResolver {
public void showScoreloop() {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, EntryScreenActivity.class);
        this.startActivity(intent);
    }
}
