inside RetrofitSpiceRequest, getService is null?

[Ken Yee]

I'm a bit baffled as to why this would ever happen.

I'm executing a request in the loadDataFromNetwork call and getService() returns null:

        Status status = getService().updateMultiImageDoc(SecurityUtil.toBase64(bin.getUuid().getBytes()),

                SecurityUtil.toBase64(document.getUuid().getBytes()), umid);

so this code blows up.

The class definition is similar to others that work fine:

public class UpdateMultiDocRequest extends RetrofitSpiceRequest<Status, ApiServiceIntf> { ...

so I'm baffled as to what might be causing this.

Has anyone ever seen this?

Have you passed the request to any of the SpiceManager#execute methods?

If yes, then you have probably overridden the RetrofitSpiceService#addRequest method and it does not include setting the service, like it is in the current version: https://github.com/stephanenicolas/robospice/blob/release/extensions/robospice-retrofit-parent/robospice-retrofit/src/main/java/com/octo/android/robospice/retrofit/RetrofitSpiceService.java#L61.
