i want to create a list of images (image 0.png, 1.jpg, 2.gif etc.) and i want to put them in a ListField, in a thread i have the following

JSONArray resImage = new JSONArray(getJsonresponse("http://localhost/blackberry/sampledata.json"));
int chkImg = resImage.length();
_bitmap = new Bitmap[chkImg];
for (int x = 0; x < chkImg; x++) {
    _bitmap[x] = connectServerForImage(resImage.getJSONObject(x).getString("image_url"));
}

public void drawListRow (ListField listField, Graphics g, int index, int y, int w) {
    g.drawBitmap(xText, y + yText, 80, 200, _bitmap[index], 0, 0);
}

 but it throws null exception, how to get bitmap array in drawListRow ?

do you execute your networking on a separate thread? (as you should)
check

most likely the download of the bitmaps is not finished yet when you try to access them. Or the variable is null, difficult to say with this code snippet.

Yes, my networking on a separate thread. Is this the proper way to make a list of images?

personally i would check for more anomalies (something null etc), but per se the method is fine, yes.
is the downloading working good? check the contents with the debugger.
