Question

Re-asking because my other thread wasn’t clear and I didn’t understand the true problem.

public class Test extends Survey
{
    ArrayList<Answer> answerList;
    ArrayList<Question> questionList;

    public Test()
    {
    questionList = new ArrayList<Question>();
    answerList = new ArrayList<Answer>();
    ...
    }
 ...
}

In the eclipse debugger, it’s showing answerList value as null, while questionList is not. What gives?

Edit: Is it possible my debugger is messed up? I can’t get it to stop where I’m setting break points. It’s stopping at old ones and ignoring new ones. I didn’t set up a new configuration or anything.

Answer 1

Keep your breakpoint on the next line to

 answerList = new ArrayList<Answer>();

And then check answerList.
Because If your breakpoint is on the initialization line, that line has not executed yet and the value will be null at that time.
