How to display particle effect using plist in android cocos2d?

Question

am doing one small game in android using cocos2d, I want to display a particle effect using plist files. I tried using the code below but I am getting a nullpointer exception. Without using a .png file, how can I display plist files?

GamestartLayer.clsss:

      public class GamestartLayer extends CCColorLayer {
    CCSprite ss;
    float movement;

   CGSize winSize = CCDirector.sharedDirector().displaySize();
    protected GamestartLayer(ccColor4B color) {
    super(color);
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

    this.setIsTouchEnabled(true);
     ss=CCSprite.sprite("ant_1_1.png");
       ss.setPosition(CGPoint.ccp(768*0.5f, 1024*0.5f));
    this.addChild(ss,5);
    this.setIsAccelerometerEnabled(true);
    this.schedule("gameLogic"); 
       CCParticleSystem       fire=CCParticleFire.particleWithFile("Rocketfire2.plist");

       fire.setPosition(CGPoint.ccp(winSize.width/2.0f, winSize.height/2.0f));
       this.addChild(fire);
}

public static CCScene scene() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
       CCScene scene = CCScene.node();


         GamestartLayer  layer = new GamestartLayer(ccColor4B.ccc4(225, 225,225, 225));

        //adds layer to scene
        scene.addChild(layer);

        return scene;
}

      }
