Android : ArrayList with Bitmap from assets

I've been trying to do a list out of an images from the assets directory, and this is my code

ArrayList<Bitmap> list = new ArrayList<>();

    try{
        String[] PathFiles = assetManager.list("img");
        for (int i = 0; i < PathFiles.length; i++) {
            InputStream is = assetManager.open("img/" + PathFiles[i]);
            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
            list.add(i, bitmap);
        }
    }
    catch(IOException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

But when ever this code is executed, my app crashes. What would be the problem?

logcat of the app :

you need to initialise your array list first

ArrayList<Bitmap> list=new ArrayList<>();

I would say you get a NullPointerException here:

list.add(i, bitmap);

you dont create the ArrayList:

ArrayList<Bitmap> list;

try it with:

ArrayList<Bitmap> list = new ArrayList<>;
