Android Question Error trying to initialize copy bitmap reference to a Bitmap variable

I'm simply declaring the variable like so:
Public Image As Bitmap

I'm then trying to pull a weather bitmap out of the ICOSWorldForecastFree library from the CCIcon property which is a read-only android.graphics.Bitmap type:


I get this error:
java.lang.NullPointerException: expected receiver of type anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.drawable.CanvasWrapper$BitmapWrapper, but got null

However, when I add a watch of CCIcon = Null it returns False. I also looked at the object in the variables section and it has data in it. So I'm not sure what to do to fix it.
