how to call a method in another class.. Error - NullPointerException

I'm building a much larger program but this is the essential problem.

package TESTER;

publicclass Test_1{

Test_2 test;

public Test_1(Test_2 test2){

test.anropa(1);

}

publicstaticvoid main(String[] args){

Test_2 run =new Test_2();

}

}

package TESTER;

publicclass Test_2{

Test_1 t;

public Test_2(){

t =new Test_1(this);

}

publicvoid anropa(int val){

if(val==1)

System.out.println("val = 1");

elseif(val==2)

System.out.println("val = 2");

}

}

java.lang.NullPointerException

at TESTER.Test_1.<init>(Test_1.java:11)

at TESTER.Test_2.<init>(Test_2.java:10)

at TESTER.Test_1.main(Test_1.java:15)

Exception in thread "main"

Java Result: 1

How can I solve this, and (since it's a school assigment) why do I need the constructor to be Test_1(Test_2 test2) ? What does that mean?

Yes that did solve the problem, however, that was apparently (when I looked at my other program) not the problem I had...

let make it a bit more complicated:

package TESTER;

public class Test_1 {

Test_2 test;

public Test_1(Test_2 test){

enAnnan();

public void enAnnan();

test.anropa(1);

}

public static void main(String[] args){

Test_2 run = new Test_2();

}

}

java.lang.NullPointerException

at TESTER.Gui.enAnnan(Gui.java:13)

at TESTER.Gui.<init>(Gui.java:10)

at TESTER.Controller.<init>(Controller.java:10)

at TESTER.Gui.main(Gui.java:16)

Exception in thread "main"

Java Result: 1

Why can I call from the constructor but not from the method enAnnan() ?

test.anropa(1);so where is the instance of Test_2 that is assigned to your variable "test" ?- MaxxDmg...- ' He who never sleeps... '

btw, when you can answer that question, you will also know why you got a nullpointerexception...- MaxxDmg...- ' He who never sleeps... '
