java.long.nullexcep_解决java的Long.getLong(str)的NullPointerException错误

I've spent the past two hours debugging what seems extremely unlikely. I've stripped the method of a secondary Android Activity to exactly this:

publicvoidonClick(Viewv){Stringstr="25";longmy_long=Long.getLong(str);}// onClick (v)

And yeah, I get a crash with the good ol' NullPointerException:

09-11 02:02:50.444: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1588): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception 09-11 02:02:50.464: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1588): java.lang.NullPointerException

It looks like (from other tests) that Long.getLong(str) returns NULL, which is driving me bonkers. WHAT AM I MISSING?

Thanks in advance. I'm okay with stupidly missing the obvious, but my sanity is on the line.
