You instanciate you array 'arr' with the following line:
[ code removed ]
Then you set values with:
[ code removed ]
but the second dimension of your array is never allocated.
You should write something like
[ code removed ]
if you want the same dimension for each row, or
[ code removed ]
if you want different size for each row.

I got a exeption said NullPointerException
That must be because you were trying to improperly use an object reference that didn't yet refer to an object - it referred to null.
