Attempt to invoke virtual method '...' on a null object reference

Question

I getting the "Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String[] android.os.Bundle.getStringArray(java.lang.String)' on a null " error in some devices:

Stack Trace:

Exception java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity     ComponentInfo{com.facebook.misstest/com.facebook.misstest.LoveMeterResultActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String[] android.os.Bundle.getStringArray(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

Here is the code which is send data to the next activity:

            //send this result to LoveMeterResultActivity
            final Bundle basket = new Bundle();
            basket.putStringArray("key", loveData);
                    Intent intent = new Intent(LoveMeterActivity.this, LoveMeterResultActivity.class);
                    intent.putExtras(basket);
                    startActivity(intent);

Solution

Check intent is null or not before you get data

Intent intent=this.getIntent();
if(intent !=null){
       // do something you want
    }

example

In ClassA:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, ClassB);
String[] myStrings = new String[] {"test", "test2"};
intent.putExtra("strings", myStrings);
startActivity(intent);

In ClassB:

  Intent intent = getIntent();
     if(intent !=null){
          String[] myStrings = intent.getStringArrayExtra("strings");
      }
