Now this is the activity from I want to go:

public class OthersBudgetActivity extends Activity {

    EditText BudgetInput;
    ImageButton DoneButton;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_others_budget);

        BudgetInput  = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText_EntertainmentBudget);
        BudgetInput.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

        DoneButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton_EntertainmentBudget);
        DoneButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {           

              @Override
              public void onClick(View v) {


                    boolean didItWork = true;

                    TrackerDAO gettingInfo = new TrackerDAO(OthersBudgetActivity.this);



                    gettingInfo.open();

                    long getlastID = gettingInfo.getMaxID();

                    int prev_other = gettingInfo.getOtherPrev(getlastID);

                    String getAmountString = BudgetInput.getText().toString();

                    int getAmountInt = Integer.parseInt(getAmountString);

                    prev_other = prev_other + getAmountInt;

                    int prev_remainbudget = gettingInfo.getPrevRemainBudget(getlastID);

                    prev_remainbudget = prev_remainbudget - getAmountInt;

                    try{

                        gettingInfo.updatePrevRemainBudget(getlastID, prev_remainbudget);

                        gettingInfo.updateotherEntry(getlastID, prev_other);

                        gettingInfo.close();

                    }catch(Exception e){
                        didItWork = false;
                        Dialog d = new Dialog(OthersBudgetActivity.this);
                        d.setTitle("Not Updated");
                        d.show();
                    } finally {
                        if (didItWork) {
                            Dialog d = new Dialog(OthersBudgetActivity.this);
                            d.setTitle("Data Updated");
                            d.show();
                        }


                        Intent OpenActivity = new Intent (OthersBudgetActivity.this, BudgetTrackerActivity.class);
                        startActivity(OpenActivity);
                    }
              }
        });

    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        finish();
    }

}

Thank You.

Answer 1

There is not much code that is actually executed in your onCreate(), so I guess one of your Buttons is null, causing this Exception when one of their methods or members is accessed.

Make sure R.id.editText_EntertainmentBudget and R.id.imageButton_EntertainmentBudget are part of your layout R.layout.activity_others_budget .

It's been my experience with NullExceptionPointers on Activities that it can not find a resource even though it is in the Intellisense type-ahead. Your best bet is to run it through AVD in debug and you can see which object is NULL with a break point. It is a little time consuming sometimes, but it will lead you to your answer. I'm willing to bet it is either your EditText or Button causing the problem.
