Android ActionBar Intent in Sherlock

Question

I have created Android ActionBarSherlock. And I have two buttons in there the problem is that when I press my back button the app crashes. This is the code:

@Override
    public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId,
            com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem item) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        switch(item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.accept: 
            saveState(); 
            setResult(RESULT_OK);
            Toast.makeText(ReminderEditActivity.this, getString(R.string.task_saved_message), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            finish(); 
            return true; 
        case R.id.back: 
            Intent i = new Intent(this, ReminderListActivity.class);
            startActivity(i); 

        return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);}
        return true;
    }

I know that something is wrong with Intent Activity. This is LogCat :

Can someone find my mistake?

ReminderEditActivity.java:272 point out which line is 272 . – SKK Aug 22 '13 at 10:18 — SKK, Aug 22 '13 at 10:18

It's a NullPointerException in line 272 ReminderEditActivity.java. Check this out What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?

remove

return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);

and check whether you have declared activity.

In Intent activity I added finish(); it helped.
