My code is breaking on the following line with a nullpointerexception:
if (stringVariable.equals(null)){
Previous to this statement, I declare the stringVariable and set it to a database field.
In this statement, I am trying to detect if the field had a null value, but unfortunately it breaks!
Any thoughts?

stringVariableisnull.The
equalsmethod (and every other method) requiresstringVariableto not benull.
