Answer 1

First of all use:

String text = bukti_identitas_pp.getSelectedItem().toString();
if (text.equals("LAIN-LAIN")){
    ...
}

The NullPointerException seems to arise because the edit_bukti_lain_pp or the teks_bukti_lain_pp is not initialized correctly. (At least that would be my first guess...)
