NullPointerException in TimeAgo.java (1.1.8)

[SharkFourSix]

You're checking whether the context is null and then still continue to make use of it even though it is null.

public String getTimeAgo(Date startDate) {

        //  date counting is done till todays date
        Date endDate = dateTimeNow;

        //  time difference in milli seconds
        long different = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime();

        if (context==null) {
            if (different < MINUTE_MILLIS) {
                return context.getResources().getString(R.string.just_now);
            } else if (different < 2 * MINUTE_MILLIS) {
                return context.getResources().getString(R.string.a_min_ago);
            } else if (different < 50 * MINUTE_MILLIS) {
                return different / MINUTE_MILLIS + context.getString(R.string.mins_ago);
            } else if (different < 90 * MINUTE_MILLIS) {
                return context.getString(R.string.a_hour_ago);
            } else if (different < 24 * HOUR_MILLIS) {
                timeFromData = timeFormat.format(startDate);
                return timeFromData;
            } else if (different < 48 * HOUR_MILLIS) {
                return context.getString(R.string.yesterday);
            } else if (different < 7 * DAY_MILLIS) {
                return different / DAY_MILLIS + context.getString(R.string.days_ago);
            } else if (different < 2 * WEEKS_MILLIS) {
                return different / WEEKS_MILLIS + context.getString(R.string.week_ago);
            } else if (different < 3.5 * WEEKS_MILLIS) {
                return different / WEEKS_MILLIS + context.getString(R.string.weeks_ago);
            } else {
                pastDate = dateFormat.format(startDate);
                return pastDate;
            }
        } else {
            if (different < MINUTE_MILLIS) {
                return context.getResources().getString(R.string.just_now);
            } else if (different < 2 * MINUTE_MILLIS) {
                return context.getResources().getString(R.string.a_min_ago);
            } else if (different < 50 * MINUTE_MILLIS) {
                return different / MINUTE_MILLIS + context.getString(R.string.mins_ago);
            } else if (different < 90 * MINUTE_MILLIS) {
                return context.getString(R.string.a_hour_ago);
            } else if (different < 24 * HOUR_MILLIS) {
                timeFromData = timeFormat.format(startDate);
                return timeFromData;
            } else if (different < 48 * HOUR_MILLIS) {
                return context.getString(R.string.yesterday);
            } else if (different < 7 * DAY_MILLIS) {
                return different / DAY_MILLIS + context.getString(R.string.days_ago);
            } else if (different < 2 * WEEKS_MILLIS) {
                return different / WEEKS_MILLIS + context.getString(R.string.week_ago);
            } else if (different < 3.5 * WEEKS_MILLIS) {
                return different / WEEKS_MILLIS + context.getString(R.string.weeks_ago);
            } else {
                pastDate = dateFormat.format(startDate);
                return pastDate;
            }
        }
    }

I took the liberty to report the issue but otherwise I had since switched to PrettyTime
