Answer 1

in your Draw-constructor, you never save the context to your variable, it should be like in the Check-constructor:

this.context = context;

otherwise you will have a null when you get to

context.getApplicationContext()

Which is also a bit unnecessary, it is enough to pass the context as it is.
