Calendar.getInstance() returns NullPointerException in ios device?

Question

When I try to get the current time I am using below code. But it shows Null Pointer Exception in Apple device. It is working fine in Android device.

How to solve this exception? What's wrong in my code?

String hourValue    = "";
String minutesValue = "";
String amPm         = "AM";
Calendar now        = Calendar.getInstance();
int hour            = now.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int minute          = now.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int amPmVal         = now.get(Calendar.AM_PM);
if(hour > 12){
    hour = hour -12;
}
if(hour == 0){
    hour = 12;
}
if(amPmVal == 1){
    amPm = "PM";
}
hourValue = hour+"";
minutesValue    = minute+"";                
if(minute < 10){
     minutesValue = "0"+minutesValue;
}
return hourValue+":"+minutesValue+" "+amPm;

No it doesn't. And it doesn't return null either.

Here is you code.

Calendar now        = Calendar.getInstance();
int hour            = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);

You obtained an instance of Calendar and assigned it to now .

Then you used the Calendar object that a different variable called calendar refers to.

Unless you have initialized the calendar variable somewhere else, the second statement will give you a NPE.

Solution: use the value of now !

Presumably on the Android device you are initializing the calendar variable.
