I am very new to developing Android apps, and I hope I am posting this in the right place. I am trying learn how to get the phone Bluetooth to connect to my Bluetooth module. I am trying to use code that I found in a reference book, but it is giving me an error. I have written in Java before but I am having a hard time understanding the structure of an Android app. Anyway the error I am getting is:
Unknown Error: java.lang.nullPointerException
Am I maybe forgetting to import a library that I need, or did I make a packaging mistake when I created the project?
Here is the code:

Like I said I am ve开发者_开发问答ry new to this so I apologize if this doesn't make much sense but any help would be greatly appreciated.
In my case it had to do with the fact that I had a reference to an unused project, appcompat_v7 (this is a compatibility library for the action bar to work on older android).
How I solved it:
Right clicked on project, Properties, on Android tab, removed reference to library.
Deleted all the projects in Package Explorer (did not delete them from the disk).
Then I imported my project back again, like this:
Right click, Import, Existing Projects into WorkSpace, select the project folder.
Then I rebuilt it, and there were some errors, some missing resources in styles.xml files.
I deleted the styles.xml files, since I didn't need them.
I deleted this entry from androidmanifest.xml: android:theme="@style/AppTheme".
Try debugging it step by step. That way you'll find the cause of the NullPointerException. Some accessed field will probably be null. Once you know which field, you can prevent the NullPointerException by giving said field a default value..
For me it was a dependency problem,
basically one project was included two times. The error message like this also only happened with Android ADT Eclipse Version.
Basically, there was
Project A -> Needing Library B.
But there was also
Project A -> Needing Dependency C.
But Additionally,
Dependency C -> also had dependency to Library B.
So Library B was there two times.
Hope the solution is clear,
that was the problem for me :)
Hope it helps :) Cheers, Mike
Right click on project -> properties ->android ->check references in right window see if all libraries in reference are present in workspace and none is closed
deleting project from workspace and importing it again is the best way to fix this (if log cat is empty)..
Just fixed this issue in my environment. I had a resource (source code) linked to my project. When I reopened the project in a different workspace it failed to open the files.
To quickly get rid of the null pointer exception you can try this.
Exit Eclipse
Open the .project file and delete the section.
Restart eclipse, clean and build
You can now see the actual error. You can now fix it in the project properties.
Good luck!

I was able to fix this by:
- Opening up my .project file and deleting an entry to an incorrect linked library
- Opening the .classpath file and removing the reference to the same incorrectly linked library as was deleted in step 1
check your project.properties inside your project folder it may have invalid entries
I had the same problem. It was from a closed library project which was referenced from my project. So
- right click on project name
- click on properties
- select android
- and in library's part check for an invalid reference.
- and if there is a closed project (such as android appcompat ) try to open it.
