Adding a marker results in NullPointerException in Android [android help]

Adding a marker results in NullPointerException in Android

This is a part of my project. I am getting an arraylist of longitude and latitude from the previous class. Without the marker code, the app is working properly but when I add the marker code the app is terminating due to NullpointerException. Can anyone tell me why ?

package xyz;

import...

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
public class Route extends Activity {
GoogleMap map;
PolylineOptions polylineOptions;
ArrayList longitude,latitude;


@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.route);
    map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

    double s_latitude = latitude.get(0);
    double s_longitude=longitude.get(0);


    /* If I add this line the app is terminating.
      map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
     .position(new LatLng(s_latitude,s_longitude))
    .title("Start Point"));
    */

    longitude = (ArrayList) getIntent().getSerializableExtra("Longitude");
    latitude = (ArrayList) getIntent().getSerializableExtra("Latitude");

    CameraUpdate center=
            CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(new LatLng(latitude.get(0),
                    longitude.get(0)));
        CameraUpdate zoom=CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15);

        map.moveCamera(center);
        map.animateCamera(zoom);



        polylineOptions=new PolylineOptions();

   for(int i=0;i   {
       polylineOptions.add(new LatLng(latitude.get(i), longitude.get(i)));
   }

       polylineOptions.color(Color.BLUE);
       polylineOptions.width(10);

        polylineOptions.geodesic(false);


        map.addPolyline(polylineOptions);


}
}
