"NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.widget.RadioGroup.setOnCheckedChangeListener(android.widget.RadioGroup$OnCheckedChangeListener)' on a null object reference"

strings file xml are ok, do you see something that I do not see? here is the code :

Delete -//language configuration- In Your Code And

Edit The onOptionsItemSelected method as follows:

@SuppressLint("NonConstantResourceId")
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

    ....
    ....
    case R.id.langue:
    AlertDialog alert = new AlertDialog.Builder( this ).setView( R.layout.choose_language).create();
    alert.show();
    rdioGrp = alert.findViewById(R.id.rdioGrpLang);
    setRadioListener();
        break;

    ....
    ....
} // End onOptionsItemSelected Mehtod


private void setRadioListener() {

    rdioGrp.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new 
RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        @SuppressLint("NonConstantResourceId")
        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, int checkedId) {
            RadioButton rb = (RadioButton) 
group.findViewById(checkedId);
            if (rb!=null){
                switch(checkedId) {
                    case R.id.radioBtnFr:
                        changeLang("fr");
                        break;

                    case R.id.radioBtnEn:
                        changeLang("en");
                        break;

                    case R.id.radioBtnIt:
                        changeLang("it-rIT");
                        break;

                    default:
                        app.l("iiii");
                }

            }
        }
    });
}

public void changeLang(String l) {
    Locale locale = new Locale(l);
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    Configuration config = new Configuration();
    config.locale = locale;
    getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

}
