this is my first question to ask here so i am sry beforehand that i do something wrong here.
I am currently trying to develop my first own game in libgdx. So for the start i have 4 classes.
- FlipX a class that extends from Game.
- StartMenu a class that implements from Screen.
- GameScreen a class that implements from Screen.
- Button a class that extens from Sprite.
I hope i can show you some code here, but let me first explain.
When starting the code the Class FlipX, where i have my SpriteBatch to draw, set the Screen to the StartMenu Class. There i can click on 2 Buttons which are drawn to the SpriteBatch from FlipX.
These Buttons came from the Button Class which i created to store multiple Textures to one so called Button. This Button Class extends from Sprite.
The PlayBtn will set the Screen to the GameScreen class when i click on it.
The Problem then occurs when the GameScreen Class draws another Button on the same batch after the Screen is set to GameScreen.
It is the Line from GameScreen in the drawBatch() function where i draw jumpBtn.draw(game.batch).
When i do this i get the following error.
Exception in thread "LWJGL Application" java.lang.NullPointerException

This Error does not occur when i replace the Button with a simple Sprite, which is odd because the Button Class is just a class that extends Sprite. private Sprite jumpBtn = new Sprite(new Texture("game/UpDef.png"));
