It may happen when tmp=tmp.getNext() returns null, so when tmp.getNext()!=end; gets evaluated tmp is null
Your for loop doesn't really work with your 2x getNext()

for(tmp=end; tmp.getNext()!=end; tmp=tmp.getNext()) {

It doesn't make much sense to me that you loop while tmp.getNext()!=end when your starting condition is tmp = end
