Is there any static code analysis tools for Android that would pick up simple things like NullPointerExceptions from trying to access an object that might be null (without checking for it first)...

Tools like resharper on C# projects do this quite well, so I'm presuming there is similar tools for Android's Java...

Since ADT 16 there is build-int Android Lint tool for static code analysis. http://tools.android.com/tips/lint/
