关于android adapter 提示空指针异常

public class ContactInfoParser extends Activity {

ListView mListView;
List<String> contactList = new ArrayList<String>();

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_contact);
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, contactList);
        mListView.setAdapter(adapter);
        readContacts();
    }

    private void readContacts() {
        Cursor cursor = null;
        try{
            cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
            while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
                String displayname = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
                String diplaynumber = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
                contactList.add(displayname + "\n" + diplaynumber);
            }
        }catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }finally {
            if (cursor != null) {
                cursor.close();
            }

        }

    }
}

上面这段代码从其他activity跳转过来，执行到mListView.setAdapter(adapter);这句话的时候，提示一直报错空指针异常。
报错代码如下：
