Tips To Fixing A Nullpointerexception In Java (android) by FincoApps(m): 2:46am On Apr 01, 2019 |
In this post, we are going to talk about the NullPointerException in Java. We will discuss the main causes and solution to it. I will also discuss how to track down a NullPointerException in Android Studio. I will try to explain at a high level (no low-level explanations) so it can be easily understood. What causes a NullPointerException? A NullPointerException is usually thrown when you try to access a field or a method in a variable or an object that is null. This is simple to understand however, it might be a bit confusing for some programmers. Now, the next question is: What causes an object to be null? When you create a variable or an object without instantiating it, then the value of that variable or object is null. So for example, when you have the following code: String firstName; The value of firstName in this case would be null. Now if you try to call a method on the variable firstName, then the NullPointerException will be thrown. For example: String firstName; firstName.toLowerCase(); The above code will throw a null pointer exception on line 2. Similarly, if you create an object without equating the object, the ugly null pointer exception will be thrown. For example: Game newGame; newGame.start(); The above code will throw the NullPointerException. How to solve the NullPointerException.
