NullPointer Exception when displaying route information on Blackberry OS 5

Question

I am trying to draw route by using following code

String document = "<location-document>" +
                                "<GetRoute>" +
                                "<location lon='-8030000' lat='4326000' label='Kitchener, ON' description='Kitchener, Ontario, Canada' />" +
                                "<location lon='-7569792' lat='4542349' label='Ottawa, ON'    description='Ottawa, Ontario, Canada' />" +
                                "</GetRoute>" +
                                "</location-document>";
                Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MAPS, new MapsArguments( MapsArguments.ARG_LOCATION_DOCUMENT, document));

It works perfect in Blackberry 9700 OS6.But in 9700 OS5 and in 8900 simulator it showing null pointer exception when loading.When i am testing in 8900 device map is not displaying. How can i rectify the problem.

Thank You G.Koti Babu

Tried your code on a real 8900 device. In 8 out of 10 times it worked flawless.

The 2 failed tests did throw NullPointerExceptions

Seems to be some kind of bug. You can't catch anything there. After invoking an application, you are out of reach for any further investigations. The app is on its own. You're doing nothing wrong in your code.
