ViewSwitcher NullPointerException

I am trying to set my Text in TextSwitcher based on which child in my ViewFlipper currently has focus and I keep getting a null pointer. This may or may not important, but I have three text switchers in one activity each with a different view factory.

public void onSwipe(int direction) 
    {

        switch(direction)
        {

        case SimpleGestureFilter.SWIPE_LEFT :
            UpdateTextSwitcher();
         if(flipper.getChildAt(flipper.getChildCount()-1).hasFocus())
         {   flipper.stopFlipping();
         Log.i("ARRAY_OnCreate", "True focus 1" );
         }
             else {
             flipper.setInAnimation(inFromRightAnimation());
             flipper.setOutAnimation(outToLeftAnimation());
             flipper.showNext();     
             }
         break;

        case SimpleGestureFilter.SWIPE_RIGHT :
         if(flipper.getChildAt(0).hasFocus())
         {
            flipper.stopFlipping();
         }

             else{
             flipper.setInAnimation(inFromLeftAnimation());
             flipper.setOutAnimation(outToRightAnimation());
             flipper.showPrevious();  
             }
         break;
        case SimpleGestureFilter.SWIPE_DOWN :

         default:

             break;
      }
}

private void UpdateTextSwitcher()
{
    if (flipper.getChildAt(0).hasFocus())
    {
        lSwitcher.setText("R.string.s1");
        mSwitcher.setText("R.string.s2");
        rSwitcher.setText("R.string.s3");
    }
    else 
    {
        lSwitcher.removeAllViews();
        mSwitcher.setText("R.string.s2");
        rSwitcher.setText("R.string.s1");
    }
}

logcat shows

Why mSwitcher.setText("R.string.s2");? Shouldn't be just loading the string from resourcesmSwitcher.setText(getResources().getString(R.string.s2)); Because if you set R.string.s2 without quotes .setText() will not accept (int), since requires CharSeq.

P.S: You don't need break; in default statement, and you need break in case SimpleGestureFilter.SWIPE_DOWN :
