Hi everybody,

I need help :)

I have an Activity which tries to start a Service (in the same
process).
It never succeeds... I recieve the following NullPointerException

12-13 11:39:06.158: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(324): Uncaught handler:

My onCreate method only calls the parent's onCreate.....

the service is being started in the following way:

startService(new Intent(MyActivity.this, LocalService.class));

Any suggestions/ideas will make me very glad....

Thanks in advance....
