android-java.lang.NullPointerException 使用 getCurrentUser firebase auth

Question

I'm using Firebase on an Android app; when creating a user in my signupActivity.class I update the currentUser username and want the next activity MenuActivity.class to get the current user Id and email, but I keep getting nullpointerException, here is the error:

                            if (task.isSuccessful()) {

                                Toast.makeText(SignupActivity.this, "Inscription réussie " + task.isSuccessful(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                                    user.updateProfile(profileUpdates)

                                                    }
                                                }

                                    User uti = new User();
                                    uti.addUser(user.getUid(), pseudo, email);

                                    startActivity(new Intent(SignupActivity.this, MenuActivity.class));
                                    finish();
                                }
                           //*****************************************************
                            } else {
                                Toast.makeText(SignupActivity.this, "erreur d'inscription" + task.getException().getMessage(),
                                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();


                            }
                        }
                    });
        }
    });

    }

and my OnCreate method in MenuActivity where i call the CurrentUser to display the name and the email

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_menu);
        toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        //get firebase auth instance
        auth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
        mHandler = new Handler();

        drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);

        // Navigation view header
        navHeader = navigationView.getHeaderView(0);
        txtName = (TextView) navHeader.findViewById(R.id.name);
        txtWebsite = (TextView) navHeader.findViewById(R.id.job);
     //   imgNavHeaderBg = (ImageView) navHeader.findViewById(R.id.img_header_bg);
        imgProfile = (ImageView) navHeader.findViewById(R.id.img_profile);

        if(auth.getCurrentUser()!=null) {

            if(auth.getCurrentUser().getDisplayName()!=null) {
            txtName.setText(auth.getCurrentUser().getDisplayName().toString().trim());
        }                txtWebsite.setText(auth.getCurrentUser().getEmail().toString().trim());

        }
        profil=(TextView) navHeader.findViewById(R.id.Profil);
        profil.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent insc = new Intent(MenuActivity.this,ProfilActivity.class);
                startActivity(insc);

            }
        });
        // load toolbar titles from string resources
        activityTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.nav_item_activity_titles);

        // load nav menu header data
        //loadNavHeader();

        navigationView.getMenu().getItem(4).setActionView(R.layout.menu_dot);
        // initializing navigation menu
        setUpNavigationView();

        if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            navItemIndex = 0;
            CURRENT_TAG = TAG_HOME;
            loadHomeFragment();
        }
    }

the error happens when calling the txtName.setText(auth.getCurrentUser().getDisplayName().toString().trim()); even though I tested the null with an if statement.

EDIT: i put the txtName.setText(auth.getCurrentUser().getDisplayName().toString().trim()); in an if statement, and now the name doesnt display on the first launch , i need to stop and launch the app again. how can i get the display name at the first call of MenuActivity

Answer 1

You are using

txtName.setText(auth.getCurrentUser().getDisplayName().toString().trim());

Instead use this

txtName.setText(auth.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getDisplayName().toString().trim());
