Android - Sugar lib NullPointerException

Question

I am using the Sugar lib for android and checked the example on their site: hier

UserData udata;
udata = new UserData(fname.getText()
                            .toString(), lname.getText()
                            .toString(), email.getText()
                            .toString(), country.getText()
                            .toString(), aboutu.getText()
                            .toString(), pass.getText()
                            .toString());
                    udata.save();  //here is the NullPointerException
                    UserData ud = UserData.findById(UserData.class, 1);

Exception:

The androidManifest:

</application>

</manifest>

The .jar of sugar lib is downloaded and in the libs folder. I have no idea why it throws this exception. I just followed the Sample of this site: hier

try [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17871825/a-good-way-to-debug-nullpointerexception) if you are on eclipse — bhargavg, Sep 02 '14 at 15:05
Did you ever work out the issue, I am currently having a similar problem. — Ben Avery, Oct 23 '14 at 04:18
No. Instead I used SharedPreferences to save data on device. — ninjaxelite, Oct 23 '14 at 17:52

try add this line to your AndroidManifest.xml android:name="com.orm.SugarApp"

example:

<application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:name="com.orm.SugarApp">

I guess because Sugar Orm implements a custom Application class that must be instantiated at startup – talpaz Apr 23 '15 at 16:03
BTW if you're using a custom Application class you should make it extend SugarApp instead of Application – talpaz Apr 23 '15 at 16:43
