layout使用继承TextView，Activity未使用，报java.lang.NullPointerException一例

Android 2.3.3 Eclipse Version: 3.7.0 LogCat

AutoScrollTextView继承TextView，用于文字特殊效果显示，代码如下：

public class AutoScrollTextView extends TextView implements OnClickListener { …… public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { …… canvas.drawText(text, temp_view_plus_text_length - step, y, paint); …… } …… }

Activity中使用：

taobaoTextView = (AutoScrollTextView) findViewById(R.id.text);

Activity对应的layout ：

<com.taobao.util.AutoScrollTextView android:id="@+id/text" android:text="text" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="40px" android:textColor="#999" android:layout_gravity="right" android:background="#333"> </com.taobao.util.AutoScrollTextView>

当Activity中取消使用AutoScrollTextView，而layout 未删除有关AutoScrollTextView的配置时，

发生错误原因分析：

canvas.drawText(text, temp_view_plus_text_length - step, y, paint);

此处的paint为null，报错。

解决办法：在AutoScrollTextView.java中初始化paint，为其赋值。

paint = getPaint();
