Proper way to handle Android Studio's NullPointerException lint warning

Question

I\'m new to android/java programming and am confused how to properly deal with this warning.

Method invocation \'\' may produce \'Java.lang.NullPointe

Answer 1

I started to use

@SuppressWarnings("ConstantConditions")

on simple methods where I'm sure that the id is not null.

Answer 2

I personally prefer using try{ }catch{ } simply because it is more elegant. However, it does add a lot of bulk to your code, if you imagine putting every, possible, NULL value into a try catch (if they are not next to each other)
