java.lang.Error: Static initializer

[ohiletechguy]

I am developing application in j2me.In that i tried to create an object for another class but it show the error like" java.lang.Error: Static initializer: java/lang/NullPointerException".

I tried like 1. TextBoxs textobj = TextBoxs.getInstance();
textobj.paint(g);

2. TextBoxs textobj = new TextBoxs();
textobj.paint(g);

the control does not enter into the TextBoxs class constructor.

Hi ohiletechguy,

as said in this thread

The problem is not in this code.

A NullPointerException is being thrown from a static initializer method in one of the classes.

Static initializer code is either an assignment to a static variable at the point of declaration. For example:

Code:
private static Object someObject = someMethod();


Or, a block like this:

Code:
static {
// some code
}
Any exception in code like this prevents the class from initializing, and results in an Error being thrown (and the class becoming unusable).

A class is initialized the first time you create an instance of it, call one if it's static methods, or access one of it's static variables.
