Answer 1

update this method!

private void displayAudioSongsName() {
    final ArrayList<File> audioSongs = readOnlyAudioSongs(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory());
    if (audioSongs != null) {
        itemsAll = new String[audioSongs.size()];

        for (int songCounter = 0; songCounter < audioSongs.size(); songCounter++) {
            itemsAll[songCounter] = audioSongs.get(songCounter).getName();
        }

        ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(MainActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, itemsAll);
        mSongsList.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
    } else Toast.makeText(this, "audio songs list is null!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Answer 2

File[] allFiles seem to have null, try to check null !!!

File[] allFiles = file.listFiles();

for (File individualFile : allFiles)
