Thanks, that seems applicable only to the AttributeValue to add. I have that
fixed to use builder of the type. 

But, in the example on that webpage, how is this built?

// Normally built Attribute object
Attribute attribute;

The NPE I am seeing is with building the Attribute object, not the
AttributeValue.  

If there are samples I should look at, I would appreciate a pointer.

Thanks,
Rachana
