仅layout使用继承TextView，报java.lang.NullPointerException

Android 2.3.3         
Eclipse Version: 3.7.0         
LogCat   

 AutoScrollTextView继承TextView，用于文字特殊效果显示，代码如下：

public class AutoScrollTextView extends TextView implements OnClickListener {
	……
	public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
		……
		canvas.drawText(text, temp_view_plus_text_length - step, y, paint);
		……
	}
	……
}

Activity中使用：
 

nokia = (AutoScrollTextView) findViewById(R.id.nokia);

Activity对应的layout ：

		<com.jinhua.util.AutoScrollTextView
			android:id="@+id/nokia" android:text="nokia" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
			android:layout_width="40px" android:textColor="#999"
			android:layout_gravity="right" android:background="#333">
		</com.jinhua.util.AutoScrollTextView>

当Activity中取消使用AutoScrollTextView，而对应layout 未取消对应配置时，

发生错误原因分析：

canvas.drawText(text, length, width, paint);

此处的paint为null，报错。

解决办法：在AutoScrollTextView.java中初始化paint，为其赋值。

 paint = getPaint();
