Motion Events in android

This is the code for motion events in my instrumentation testing.

   long downTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();

   long eventTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();

   MotionEvent event = MotionEvent.obtain(downTime, eventTime,
   MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN, 100,100, 0);

   MotionEvent event2 = MotionEvent.obtain(downTime, eventTime,
   MotionEvent.ACTION_UP, 100, 100, 0);

   instrumentation.sendPointerSync(event);

   instrumentation.sendPointerSync(event2);

And the following is the error iam getting:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.ni.fastflip.test.FastFlipWebviewTest.test(FastFlipWebviewTest.java:28)
at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method)
at android.test.InstrumentationTestCase.runMethod(InstrumentationTestCase.java:205)
at android.test.InstrumentationTestCase.runTest(InstrumentationTestCase.java:195)
at android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2.runTest(ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2.java:175)
at android.test.AndroidTestRunner.runTest(AndroidTestRunner.java:169)

at android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner.onStart(InstrumentationTestRunner.java:430)
at android.app.Instrumentation$InstrumentationThread.run(Instrumentation.java:1447)

Can any body suggest me what to do please

You have to do android.app.Instrumentation inst = getInstrumentation(); Inside ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 before sending pointer syncs or other classes, which have possibility to retrieve instruments instance.

If the top of the stack trace indicates the null pointer is on this line:

instrumentation.sendPointerSync(event);

Then that means that instrumentation is null, not event. If event was null then the null pointer would happen inside of the sendPointerSync method or further up the stack.

Which ones of these lines is line 28? thats where the null pointer exep was.

Use

if(whatever==null){ Log.d("tag","whatever was null"); }

to figure out which reference was null on line 28 if you have to.
