Add child node to a node throws "null pointer exception"

[saisakthi]

Hi,
I am very much new to cocos2d.. I am developing an application in android using cocos2d.. In that,

public class BaseLayer extends CCLayer {

ChildLayer cl = new ChildLayer();
this.addChild(cl); 
}

public class ChildLayer extends CCLayer {

public ChildLayer() {
CCLayer.node();
}
.
.
}

In this, arrowed line throws the Null pointer exception..
Error Log is below..

Unlikely some one can help with amount of code you shared. I can only suggest debugging and follow logic to find out why you getting null point exception

Hi,
This is solved.. In constructor,I have called the super class constructor like CCLayer.node() instead of super()
I changed that and the problem is solved..
