Android Question java.lang.NullPointerException on StdActionBar

[MaxWaterfall]

Getting this error, I have initialised the variable so I don't know where the error is coming from.

This is the code:

bar.Initialize("bar")
  bar.NavigationMode = bar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS
  bar.AddTab("Menu")
  bar.AddTab("View")
  bar.AddTab("Send")

Error occurs on second line down.

Error: java.lang.NullPointerException

Any ideas anyone?

Please don't "bump" your questions.

Can you post the full error message from the logs?

Don't worry about finding a solution unless you already have, decided to not use the StdActionBar object.

 

[Erel]

Are you running this code on Android 4+?
Is the action bar visible?

 

[MaxWaterfall]

Yes I am and no it is not, the app crashes when the program executes this line:

bar.NavigationMode = bar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS

 

[Erel]

Can you upload your project (File - Export as zip)?

Unbelievably I've had this exact problem last night and kicked myself when I worked out what the problem was
I my case it was because I set the activity attribute #IncludeTitle to False whilst a splash screen was loaded then intended to load another layout and show the title. Unfortunately I believe that it's not possible to programtically enable and disable the Titlebar and so I now use one activity for the splash screen and another with IncludeTitle set to True for my screen requiring the stdActionBar. Problem now resolved for me at least

I'm not using the StdActionBar any more but changing the activity attribute #IncludeTitle to True did fix the error! Thanks for the help!
