Question

i have no idea where the codes went wrong

This is my error:

Answer 1

I think on line JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(Makeup_URL, "POST", params); returns invalid Json . As per the error log the response is <br> or starts with <br> . Which is getting failed while parsing. As a result your json object is Null . And it gives Null Pointer Exception on Line 288 .

Will you please check why its not returning JSON. You will have to be extra sure that the response should be JSON.
