NullPointerException from using getFileStreamPath on a non-null context?

Main Activity call to imageAdapter:

ImageAdapter constructor:

Function throwing the error

Stacktrace

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Your code doesn't match your error. The mContext == null should be entered... — OneCricketeer

You can't use this during field initialization for the Activity because it is before the Android Activity LifeCycle, and thus the Context will be null.

Move this.imagesAdapter = new ImageAdapter(this) into onCreate
