java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo {...}: java.lang.NullPointerException

Question

when you click to go from one activity to another, I have an error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo {...}: java.lang.NullPointerException

I am missing some method? Please help me to understand what I did wrong, which is why you see this error?

Solution 1

Check that extras isn't null as below...

if(extras != null) {
    rowId = extras.getLong(ContactMain.rowId);
}

Also check that your Cursor object isn't null as below...

if(cursorKvart != null && cursorKvart.getCount() > 0) {

    while (cursorKvart.moveToNext()) {

        ......

    }

}

Solution 2

First check your rowId not null

And also setup your ArrayAdapter outside While() loop

 ArrayAdapter<String> dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                        android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, labels);

 dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

 spZaselenie.setAdapter(dataAdapter);

Solution 3

You should run you code in dubug mode then you can easily identify that in which line you are getting null pointer. I thing it is best way to find out exception and error.
