Is it possible to create a array with views
<p>I try to make something like this: </p>

<pre><code>public static ArrayList&lt;View&gt; rootView = new ArrayList&lt;View&gt;();
</code></pre>

<p>But when i try to add view to it I just get a null pointer exception which makes me wonder if i do something wrong or if it just isn't possible to do this?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Code : </p>

<pre><code> ArrayList&lt;View&gt; rootView = new ArrayList&lt;View&gt;();
View v=inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_main, null);
rootView.add(v);
</code></pre>

<p>The rootView.add(v); just makes a null pointer exception</p>

<p>Logcat added:</p>
