Android NullPointerException When retriving Spinner text

Question

I'm trying to get the selected item of a spinner and convert it into a string then save it as a .txt file then send, everything works fine until I implemented the spinner and now I'm getting a null pointer exception when I selected No and nothing happens when I select Yes. The Lines referenced in the Logcat are the methods being excecuted in Updater() , and the clickedUpdate is the the Updater() method being run.I'm 100% sure the error occurs in the Updater() Method.

The Updater() Method

public String Updater()
{
    Vibrator vibrate = (Vibrator) this.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
    TextView dLong = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textLong);
    TextView dLat = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textLat);
    EditText xxxxxx = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.POinput);
    EditText xxxxxx = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.splitPOinput);
    Spinner xxxxxchoice = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.optionselecti);
    String xxxxxx = xxxxxx.getText().toString();
    String dataLat = dLat.getText().toString();
    String dataLong = dLong.getText().toString();
    String xxxxxx = xxxxxx.getText().toString();
    String Update = null;
    TelephonyManager telephonemanager = (TelephonyManager) this.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    String PhoneNumber = telephonemanager.getLine1Number();
    String xxxxxxChoicei = xxxxxxchoice.getSelectedItem().toString();
    int choice = 0;
    boolean Choice;
    if(xxxxxxChoicei.equals("Yes"))
    {
        choice = 1;//virtual number used to indicate spinner choice on data server
        Choice = true; //for if statment below
        vibrate.vibrate(100);
    }
    else if (xxxxxxChoicei.equals("No"))
    {
        choice = 0;
        Choice = false;
    }
    AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    alert.setTitle("Temperature");
    alert.setMessage("Input Temperature");
    final EditText input = new EditText(this);
    input.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED);
    alert.setView(input);

    alert.setPositiveButton("Check-In", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
            temperature = input.getText().toString();
        }
    });
    if(Choice = false)
    {
        alert.show();
    }
    if(xxxxxxxxxChoicei.equals("No"))
    {
        temperature = "DRY";
    }
    String DataIn = PhoneNumber + "," + dataLong + "," + dataLat+","+dataPO+","+splitpo+","+temperature+","+choice;
    try {
        BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(new
                File(getFilesDir() + File.separator + "xxxxxxx_LOCATION_DATA.txt")));
        bufferedWriter.write(DataIn);
        bufferedWriter.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    DATAOUT();
    while((!(temperature.equals(""))&& temperature!=null) || xxxxxxxChoicei.equals("No"))
    {
     sendMail("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com", "DataTest", DATAOUT());
      Update = "Updated";
      deleteFile("xxxxxxx_LOCATION_DATA.txt");
    }

Answer 1

So after fixing it so that DATAOUT() no longer returned null (by setting the default string value to String Dataout = ""; ) I got a bunch of errors caused by this statement:

while((!(temperature.equals(""))&& temperature!=null) || xxxxxxxChoicei.equals("No")) { sendMail("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com", "DataTest", DATAOUT()); Update = "Updated"; deleteFile("xxxxxxx_LOCATION_DATA.txt"); }

which caused an infinite loop, so i fixed that by no longer using the while, however does someone know how to include the while loop without causing my application to crash?
