Null Pointer Exception for SeekBar set Max and set Progress

Question

I have a simple seek bar with which I intend to adjust the system volume with. However it has been throwing a null pointer exception for quite some time:

int max = audioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
        Log.d("tag","+"+max);
        volumeSeekbar.setMax(max);
        int progress = audioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
        volumeSeekbar.setProgress(progress);

        volumeSeekbar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener(){
            @Override
            public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar arg0)
            {
            }

            @Override
            public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar arg0)
            {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"HEREO",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

            @Override
            public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar arg0, int progress, boolean arg2)
            {
                audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,progress, 0);
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),""+progress,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

Both progress and max turn out to be valid integers. However, a null pointer exception is continuously thrown!

Answer 1

probably your volumeSeekbar is null . not progress and max values. Make sure that volumeSeekbar defined correctly.
