Android Activity Context is Null

So I have these Codes here, It runs without crashing. However When I pass \"this\" into the gridadapter the mContext is null. I tried to pass getApplicationContext() through but

Answer 1

The root of your problem is that you are trying to initialize a member variable inline with

int[] champImage = getImage();

This executes before the constructor which sets mContext to a valid value. However, the fact that mContext is null inside the call for getImage() should be irrelevant because you never actually use mContext in that method.

The overall issue is that you need to be careful about the order of execution.
