Because your problem is in your constructor or initializer: > E/AndroidRuntime( 221): Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException > E/AndroidRuntime( 221): at > android.content.ContextWrapper.getApplication > Context(ContextWrapper.java:100) > E/AndroidRuntime( 221): at > com.shipmate.SensorService.<init>(SensorServi > ce.java:26) Go to line 26 of SensorService.java. You are attempting to do something there that cannot be done in a constructor or initializer. Move that code to onCreate() of your service, and you should be in better shape. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 2.2 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
