Hello @URE and welcome to the community.

You can have a look at this thread: [[False Positive]A "NullPointerException" could be thrown;](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/false-positive-a-nullpointerexception-could-be-thrown/47025)

The code is slightly different and it’s another rule, but the reasoning is the same.

Best,  
Quentin
