How to fix boolean com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult.hasResolution() Null reference in G+ on Android

Question

I want use Google Plus account for Sign-in in my Application. I write this codes, but show me Force close error.
MainActivity codes:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener,
    GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {

private static final int RC_SIGN_IN = 0;
// Logcat tag
private static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
// Google client to interact with Google API
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;

private boolean mIntentInProgress;

private boolean mSignInClicked;

private ConnectionResult mConnectionResult;

private SignInButton btnSignIn;
private Button btnSignOut, btnRevokeAccess;
private TextView txtName, txtEmail;
private LinearLayout llProfileLayout;

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

    btnSignIn = (SignInButton) findViewById(R.id.btn_sign_in);
    btnSignOut = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_sign_out);
    btnRevokeAccess = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_revoke_access);
    txtName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtName);
    txtEmail = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtEmail);
    llProfileLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.llProfile);

    // Button click listeners
    btnSignIn.setOnClickListener(this);

How can i fix this problem?

I want use Google Plus account for Sign-in in my Application. I write this codes, but show me Force close error.

Answer 1

Your field mConnectionResult can be null, which is causing the app to throw a NullPointerException when it attempts to access it.

The solution is to change your processing of onConnectionFailed so that it always assigns a value to your variable before you access it.

@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
    // Always assign result first
    mConnectionResult = result;

    if (!result.hasResolution()) {
        GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(result.getErrorCode(), this,
                0).show();
        return;
    }

    if (!mIntentInProgress) {

        if (mSignInClicked) {
            // The user has already clicked 'sign-in' so we attempt to
            // resolve all
            // errors until the user is signed in, or they cancel.
            resolveSignInError();
        }
    }
}
