if something = false display ads

i have a protected boolean as follows

protected boolean isKeyInstalled(Context context) {
          // the packagename of the 'key' app
          String proPackage = "com.funhouse.mytimmieskey";

          // get the package manager
          final PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();

          // get a lis开发者_JAVA技巧t of installed packages
          List<PackageInfo> list = pm.getInstalledPackages(PackageManager.GET_DISABLED_COMPONENTS);

          // let's iterate through the list
          Iterator<PackageInfo> i = list.iterator();
          while(i.hasNext()) {
            PackageInfo p = i.next();
            // check if proPackage is in the list AND whether that package is signed
            //  with the same signature as THIS package
            if((p.packageName.equals(proPackage)) &&
               (pm.checkSignatures(context.getPackageName(), p.packageName) == PackageManager.SIGNATURE_MATCH))
              return true;
          }
          return false;
        }

I'm trying to get it to show ads if false

if(isKeyInstalled(null) != false){
            //AdMob Banner
            LinearLayout parent = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.adveiw);
            AdView ad = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "a14db2c31f42ef0");
            parent.addView(ad);
            AdRequest r = new AdRequest();
            r.setTesting(false);
            ad.loadAd(r);
        }

i have no code errors but this keeps cashing my app.

here is logcat

I'm guessing final PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();is line 76 where your error is occuring, as the context you are passing is null...it's unable to start the Activity since the error is occuring in the onCreate method...pass in this (being your activity) as the context and it'll fix your problem.
