java.lang.RuntimeException:Unable to start activity ComponentInfo: java.lang.NullPointerException

Question

I got a java.lang.NullPointerException.

I can't find the problem.

Log attached below.

            mOverlays.add(overlay);
            populate();
        }

    }
}

Here is a log.

criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);

This line makes a runtime exception.

After I delete this line,

I also got a runtime exception at 'updateLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()); '

How can i fix it?!

location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);

is not guaranteed to return an actual result if there is no last known location available. Hence the nullpointerexception.

I think you need to have this line:

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 2000, 10,
            mLocationListener);

before this one:

location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);

As far as I know you can't get location info unless the LocationListener is working and finding out your position.

If the problem is not the fact the location might be returned then this error normally points to the fact you might be trying to access a view, with a valid ID, but is not actually in the current layout. Maybe try surrounding with a try/catch to figure out which view is causing the trouble.

try {
    editTextLat = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
} catch (Exception e) {
    Log.e("MyTag", "Error accessing view editText1", e);
}
