Excepción de puntero nulo que hace difícil pasar un arreglo usando ksoap

Tengo matriz definida como esto:

ArrayList<String> items = new ArrayList<String>(); 

He llenado ese arreglo ahora y deseo enviarlo vía un servicio de la tela a mi base de datos alejada.

• Cookies HTTP WebView HTTP no funcionan en la API 21
• Android - ¿Cómo pasar la cookie para cargar url con webview?
• Servicio llamado de Android a C # no funciona
• Rest Server o API para probar mi cliente Restful?
• Webview dentro de fragmento android apertura fuera de la aplicación en un navegador

Aquí está el método en mi código de Android que hace el trabajo ksoap

  public String[] call2() { SoapPrimitive responsesdata = null; SoapObject request = new SoapObject(namespace, method_NAME); request.addProperty("names",items); SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope( SoapEnvelope.VER11); envelope.dotNet = true; envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request); HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(url); androidHttpTransport.debug = true; try { androidHttpTransport.call(soap_ACTION, envelope); //responsesdata = (SoapPrimitive) envelope.getResponse(); SoapObject result = (SoapObject)envelope.bodyIn; if(result != null) { System.out.println("SOAP response:\n\n" + result.getProperty(0).toString()); } System.out.println(" --- response ---- " + responsesdata); } catch (SocketException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } System.out.println( " ----" + responsesdata ); String serviceResponse= responsesdata .toString(); System.out.println(serviceResponse); String[] temp; String delimiter = ","; temp= serviceResponse.split(delimiter); return temp; } 

Sin embargo, cuando ejecuto mi código estoy recibiendo Null Pointer Exception ver en logcat a continuación:

Mi código de servicio web:

  public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService { [WebMethod] public String getnames(String[] values) { try { using (SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(@"Data S ource=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=student;User ID=sa;Password=123")) { int count = 1; int rows = 0; myConnection.Open(); foreach (string student in values) { count++; using (SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand()) { myCommand.Connection = myConnection; myCommand.CommandText = "insert into record values(@pCount, @pStudent)"; SqlParameter param = myCommand.CreateParameter(); param.ParameterName = "@pCount"; param.Value = count; myCommand.Parameters.Add(param); param = myCommand.CreateParameter(); param.ParameterName = "@pSudent"; param.Value = student; rows = myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); } } } } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); return "an error occured"; } return "success"; } } }
