Android:Email: E/AbstractSyncService( 529): java.lang.NullPointerException occurs every time

I am working on Active sync in Androi开发者_运维知识库d. I get "java.lang.NullPointerException" every time.

Logs shows:

Uncaught exception in EasSyncService 
java.lang.NullPointerException

This error has been noticed in logs when I am sending http request using POST. Sending the ping command gives the above error some times.

I am not able to figure out why this error occurs and how it can be avoided . Kindly any one can give solution to above and solve the same .

Solution is appreciated well in advance.
