Android: getContext().getContentResolver() sometimes gets NullPointerException

Question

I want to ask why we get this annotation:

Method invocation getContext.getContentResolver() may produce NullPointerException

Why i

Answer 1

If you can make sure that getContext() can never be null then you can simply ignore this warning. I think the warning even disappears of you just check for null:

if (getContext() != null) {
    getContext().getContentResolver();
}

You just have to keep in mind the code won't be executed if getContext() is null.

edit: Be careful with the answer @Shivani Gupta gave you, because you could get different contexts. See: Difference between getContext() , getApplicationContext() , getBaseContext() and "this"
