java.lang.NullPointer Exception in getResources().getString(R.string.value);

Question

I want one constant value in all activities so I have written it in string.xml file. Now, to get that value in .java file, I am writing code as below : ``` getResources().getString(R.string.my_website); - This is 18 line of Splash Class ``` I am calling this code in main class as below : ``` public class Splash extends Activity { final String WebsiteURL = getResources().getString(R.string.my_website); } ``` but it is giving me `java.lang.NullPointerException`. Am I writing anything wrong? This is the correlating strings.xml: ``` http://www.mytestbuddy.com ``` Logcat: ``` 01-30 17:57:15.853: E/AndroidRuntime(1553): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 01-30 17:57:15.853: E/AndroidRuntime(1553): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{com.Mobile.mytestbuddy/com.Mobile.mytestbuddy.Splash}: java.lang.NullPointerException 01-30 17:57:15.853: E/AndroidRuntime(1553): at androi…

Accepted Answer

According to your edits you're trying to access the resources before the Activity has been created. This is not possible, since the required `Context` is not available yet during that point.

You'll need to set your `websiteUrl` from within the `onCreate(...)` method.

--Old answer for reference--

```
 getResources().getString(R.string.my_website);
```

As you can see, `string` has to be written in lowercase. Also you should not be looking for an `Integer` but a `String`.
