Getting null pointer exception when calling activity from different class
<p>I have an activity class MainActivity2.java which had a method displaySongData();
which had code as follows:</p>

<pre><code>  if(searchsong.serverErrors.size() &gt; 0) 
        Toast.makeText(this.context, searchsong.serverErrors.get(0) ,
    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
  else if(searchsong.errorMsg != "" || searchsong.result == null) 
       {
        intent = new Intent(context,ErrorDisplayActivity.class);
        bundle.putString("error",searchsong.errorMsg == "" ? "No such songs could be found." : searchsong.errorMsg);
        intent.putExtras(bundle);
        context.startActivity(intent);
       } 
  else ////// 3 rd part of if else ***********
       {
        intent = new Intent(this,DisplaysongDetails.class);
        song result = searchsong.result;
        bundle.putString("tune", result.tune);
        bundle.putString("lyrics", result.lyrics);
        bundle.putString("meaning", result.meaning);
        intent.putExtras(bundle);
        this.startActivity(intent);
      }
</code></pre>

<p>Everything was working fine upto this point and MainActivity2 was calling other activities.
I moved this code to another non-activity class and split up the logic within if and else statements to different methods. For the constructor of the new class, I passed the MainActivity2 instance and the searchSong object from the MainActivity2 class . However when the method containing the third part of the if else is executed, I get a null pointer exception.</p>

<p>Is it illegal to do this in Android? 
Is there a way where I can have this logic in a separate class other than MainActivity2 as it is all cluttered?</p>
