                    Log.d("score", "Your score"+score);
                }
                if(qid<22){
                    currentQ=quesList.get(qid);
                    setQuestionView();
                }else{
                    Intent intent = new Intent(QuizMainActivity.this, QuizResultActivity.class);
                    Bundle b = new Bundle();
                    b.putInt("score", score); //Your score
                    intent.putExtras(b); //Put your score to your next Intent
                    startActivity(intent);
                    finish();
                }
            }
        });

        /**

         */
        countDownTimer = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
        timer = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.timer);

        new CountDownTimer(1200000,1000){

            @Override
            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                int progress = (int) (millisUntilFinished/120000)+1;
                countDownTimer.setProgress(countDownTimer.getMax()-progress);
                if (counter == 1080){
                    Toast.makeText(QuizMainActivity.this, "Only 2 minutes remaining, Please review the answers.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
               counter++;
                Log.d("Counter number", ""+counter);
            }

            @Override
            public void onFinish() {
                Toast.makeText(QuizMainActivity.this, "Sorry! Time is over, Try again", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                finish();
            }
        }.start();
    }

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        super.onBackPressed();
        finish();
    }

    private void setQuestionView()
    {
        txtQuestion.setText(currentQ.getQUESTION());
        rda.setText(currentQ.getOPTA());
        rdb.setText(currentQ.getOPTB());
        rdc.setText(currentQ.getOPTC());
        qid++;
    }
}

When program runs and error throws the cursor denote to the following line of a code:-

currentQ=quesList.get(qid);

Answer 1

Please check the gelAllQuestions() function. First of all if the function not returning empty list, you should null check. After that, you can check is the list empty with isEmpty() function.

Please be sure there are available data in database.

Answer 2

After create a List, you must implement it with it's constructor. So add this line before use your List:

    quesList = new ArrayList<>();
