Okay, I'm getting a null pointer exception when I start my third activity. Here is the LogCat message:

Here is the section of code where I call the activity:
public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v, int position, long id)
{
Log.i(tag,"item clicked! [" + feed.getItem(position).getTitle() + "]");
Intent itemintent = new Intent(this,com.acithium.rss.ShowDescription.class);
//Intent itemintent = new Intent();
//itemintent.setClassName("com.acithium.main", "com.acithium.rss.ShowDescription");
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString("title", feed.getItem(position).getTitle());
b.putString("description", feed.getItem(position).getDescription());
b.putString("link", feed.getItem(position).getLink());
itemintent.putExtra("android.intent.extra.INTENT", b);
startActivityForResult(itemintent,0);
}
And here is new activity class that is called:
public class ShowDescription extends Activity
{
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle)
{
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.showdescription);
String theStory = null;
Intent startingIntent = getIntent();
if (startingIntent != null)
{
Bundle b = startingIntent.getBundleExtra("android.intent.extra.INTENT");
if (b == null)
{
theStory = "bad bundle?";
}
else
{
theStory = b.getString("title") + "\n\n" + b.getString("description") + "\n\nMore information:\n" + b.getString("link");
}
}
else
{
theStory = "Information Not Found.";
}
TextView db= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.storybox);
db.setText(theStory);
Button backbutton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.back);
backbutton.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
finish();
}
});
}
}
