Android не сделает мое заявление

Может ли кто-нибудь сказать мне, почему этот простой код не работает? В первом действии у меня есть пользователь, который выбирает параметр, который отправляет arraylist для следующего действия. Он не будет делать утверждение else и силу закрывается. Спасибо, парни!

String[] quotes;

ArrayList<String> Dark = new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayList<String> Light = new ArrayList<String>();

Вот код

if (Dark.isEmpty()){

    Light = i.getStringArrayListExtra("light");
    quotes = Light.toArray(new String[Light.size()]);
} else {

    Dark = i.getStringArrayListExtra("dark");
    quotes = Dark.toArray(new String[Dark.size()]); 
};

вот как я его отправляю

 public void dark (View d){
    dark.add("Even 0 is a number, just leave him alone!");
    dark.add("Love is noting but a bad spell, cast onto your soul, never to be released into the wild...");
    dark.add("The end is near please do not make the same mistakes.");
    dark.add( "Jenna i love you, youre my little beandip, dive you!");
    dark.add( "cute hate but dont rate im no skate");
    dark.add("You will never live if you live a lie");
    Intent intent = new Intent(choose.this,Startme.class);
    intent.putStringArrayListExtra("dark",dark);
    startActivity(intent);
 }

public void light (View l) {
    light.add("Good ideas will come if you share your love");
    light.add("enter a world with no doubt, join god");
    light.add("come on, can you live a life");
    light.add( "where love is so is hate lol not");
    light.add( "watch me now!! go with me and join the lord");
    light.add("never be afrade of the darkness");

    Intent intent = new Intent(choose.this,Startme.class);
    intent.putStringArrayListExtra("light",light);
    startActivity(intent);
}
