<div class="markdown_content"><p>As the summary entails, the SDLEvent.pollEvent() method is throwing a NullPointerException. Here is some code:</p> <p>[code]<br /> public void start() {<br /> boolean running = true;<br /> do {<br /> try {<br /> SDLEvent event = SDLEvent.waitEvent();<br /> if(event != null &amp;&amp; event.getType() == SDLEvent.SDL_QUIT) {<br /> running = false;<br /> }<br /> } catch(NullPointerException npe) {<br /> System.out.println("Null pointer exception");<br /> npe.printStackTrace();<br /> System.exit(1);<br /> } catch(SDLException ex) {<br /> System.out.println("Exception!");<br /> ex.printStackTrace();<br /> running = false;<br /> } <br /> } while(running);<br /> }<br /> [/code]</p> <p>Which results in the following when ran:<br /> Null pointer exceptionjava.lang.NullPointerException<br /> at sdljava.event.SDLActiveEvent.getType(SDLActiveEvent.java:70)<br /> at sdlpong.GameManager.start(GameManager.java:50)<br /> at sdlpong.Main.main(Main.java:7)</p> <p>I'm not sure if this is a Bug or something I am doing incorrectly. Can anyone explain this?</p></div>
