I dont know where i am going wrong.

package com.rim.samples.device.LostnFound;

import net.rim.device.api.ui.FieldChangeListener;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.UiApplication;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Field;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.BitmapField;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.MenuItem;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.Menu;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.MainScreen;
import net.rim.device.api.system.Bitmap;

class Lost_n_Found_Entry extends MainScreen {    
    private static Bitmap   _bitmap ;
    UiApplication           _UiApp;
    MenuItem                _MeniItem;
    String                  _S_enable;
    public Lost_n_Found_Entry() {    
        _bitmap  = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("ob_splash.PNG");
        add(new BitmapField(_bitmap, Field.FIELD_HCENTER | Field.FIELD_VCENTER));
        _UiApp   = UiApplication.getUiApplication();        
        if(Lost_n_Found_Passwd._s_Enable_Flag == 0)
            _S_enable = "Enable";
        else
            _S_enable = "Disable";
    }   
    
    MenuItem _Enable = new MenuItem(_S_enable, 200000, 10) {
        public void run() {
            if(_S_enable.equals("Enable") ) {
                Lost_n_Found_Passwd._s_Enable_Flag = 1;
                _UiApp.popScreen(_UiApp.getActiveScreen());
                _UiApp.pushScreen(new Lost_n_Found_Entry());
            } else {
                Lost_n_Found_Passwd._s_Enable_Flag = 0;
                _UiApp.popScreen(_UiApp.getActiveScreen());
                _UiApp.pushScreen(new Lost_n_Found_Entry());
            }
        }
    };
    MenuItem _Settings = new MenuItem("Settings", 200000, 10) {
        public void run() {
            _UiApp.popScreen(_UiApp.getActiveScreen());
            _UiApp.pushScreen(new Lost_n_Found_Settings());
        }
    };
    MenuItem _About = new MenuItem("About", 200000, 10) {
        public void run() {            
        }
    };
    MenuItem _Exit = new MenuItem("Exit", 200000, 10) {
        public void run() {
            System.exit(0);
        }
    }; 
    
    protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance) {  
        menu.add(_Enable);
        menu.add(_Settings);
        menu.addSeparator();
        menu.add(_About);
        menu.addSeparator();
        menu.add(_Exit);    
        super.makeMenu(menu, instance);    
    }
}

When ever i click on the trackwheel to view the menu , i get a nullPointerException.

Hi Meenal,

Before overriding "protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance)" function, you have to initialized all items or variables that you want to use here.

In your code you are going to add "MenuItem _Enable = new MenuItem(_S_enable, 200000, 10)" MenuItem, without initializing xxx8220;_S_enablexxx8221; variable. You have to initialize first to access this variable. You may declare this variable as the following or as your experience:

String _S_enable = "Enable";

Hope this will work!

Cheers!
