A NullPointerException in Java application is best way to solve it and that is also key to write robust programs which can work smoothly. As it said “prevention is better than cure”, same is true with nasty NullPointerException. Thankfully by applying some defensive coding techniques and following contract between multiple part of application, you can avoid NullPointerException in Java to a good extent. By the way this is the second post on NullPointerException in Javarevisited, In last post we have discussed about common cause of NullPointerException in Java and in this tutorial, we will learn some Java coding techniques and best practices, which can be used to avoid NullPointerException in Java. Following these Java tips also minimize number of !=null check, which litter lot of Java code. As an experience Java programmer, you may be aware of some of these techniques and already following it in your project, but for freshers and intermediate developers, this can be good learning. By the way, if you know any other Java tips to avoid NullPointerException and reduce null checks in Java, then please share with us.
