Inaparent java.lang.NullPointerException

I'm developing an android app and it takes me java.lang.NullPointerExceptionand I don't know what can be the reason. In the following lines you will have the logcat and the method that causes this crash (line 151).

And here the method that causes the exception (line 151)

private void DrawViewUp() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if(adview.getVisibility()==View.VISIBLE){
        drawview.bringToFront();                   //This is line 151
        adview.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        stroke.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        rojo.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        verde.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        azul.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        negro.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    } else if (adview.getVisibility()==View.INVISIBLE){
        et1.bringToFront();
        adview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        stroke.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        rojo.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        verde.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        azul.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        negro.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
    }
}

Also I have a method with all the findViewById that is runned on the onCreate method:

private void findViewById() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    et1=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.et1);
    tv1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv1);
    views=(FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.capture);
    drawview=(DrawView)findViewById(R.id.drawview);
    adview=(AdView)findViewById(R.id.adView);
    stroke=(SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.stroke);
    rojo=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.rojo);
    verde=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.verde);
    azul=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.azul);
    negro=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.negro);
}

So anyone knows why crashes?

EDIT: I removed all my code, was innnecesary

The problem was that in the DrawView class, the second and third constructors don't have in the super() the other variables of the constructor as you can see in the following example:

public class DrawView extends View {

    public DrawView(Context context) {
    super( context);
    }

    public DrawView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super( context, attrs ); //first problem
    }

    public DrawView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super( context, attrs, defStyle ); //second problem
    }

}

Solved using:

findViewById() returns null for custom component in layout XML, not for other components
