Problem with Android Networking (Using Google Book API and LoadManager/ AsyncTaskLoader)

Having problems debugging an android networking application. I think I might have some problems with the import but I don't know which. If you can see the problem, please do let me know. Thank you.

I think I don't understand how onCreateLoader() and onLoadFinished() works. I tried and find that onCreateLoader return non-null data but in onLoadFinished() the data passed into it was null.

This error is because your adapter is not initialized yet you need to initialize it in onCreate
this.bookAdapter = new BookAdapter();
the error message says
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.example.networkingfinals.BookAdapter.addAll(java.util.Collection)' on a null object reference
that means is your adapter is null and you call addAll from the null object reference

No errror shown in android studio but still setOnClickListener works only on one button while on other button it does not work

My java code:
public class StartActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Button mRegBtn;
private Button mLoginBtn;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_start);
mRegBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start_reg_btn);
mLoginBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start_login_btn);
mRegBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent reg_intent = new Intent(StartActivity.this, RegisterActivity.class);
startActivity(reg_intent);
}
});
mLoginBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent login_intent = new Intent(StartActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
startActivity(login_intent);
}
});
}
}

first answer i give.
Based on your log, the line
"Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void androidx.appcompat.app.ActionBar.setTitle(java.lang.CharSequence)' on a null object reference" says, that is having trouble setting an AppBar Title.
My bet is that you have some sort of error, in one of the Activities you are trying to start, from the buttons.
If you want more help, tell what is the button that is failing, and send the Other two activities code.

Android Application crashes when going from an activity to another using intent [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:

Closed 5 years ago.
I am trying for hours to do an extremely simple thing, but for some reason it doesn't work...
I'm trying to go from an activity that is used for Log in, to another activity that is used for signing up.
The rest of the code works perfectly, but whenever I press the textview that supposes to bring me to the Registration screen, the app crashes.
I tried everything, even to use a button instead of textview, and many ways of intents I found online, with "finish" and without "finish", but nothing worked, do you guys have any idea what went wrong?
The Activity is added to the manifest.
Thank you!

Looking at the crash log, it seems that you are attaching a click listener to your FloatingActionButton before instantiating it. Please make sure that you call findViewById and instantiate the view first, and only call setOnClickListener after. The problem is in SignUpActivity.

seeing the logs it is clear that the Problem should be in your signup activity.
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void
android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton.setOnClickListener(android.view.View$OnClickListener)'
indicates that there is a widget you are referring is not initialized or null

My Android activity crashes my app when I start the activity, and my other 2 activities have nothing wrong with them [duplicate]

Its just a Caesar Cipher, and I found it online.
The app doesn't crash when I run the encrypt method, the app crashes when I start this activity.
My code:
package com.example.brend.securityreach;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class EncryptActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText thingToEncrypt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText3);
EditText offsets = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText4);
String offsetting = thingToEncrypt.toString();
int offset = Integer.valueOf(offsetting);
EditText encryptedText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_encrypt);
}
public void encrypt(View view) {
char[] words = thingToEncrypt.toString().toCharArray();
for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
char letter = words[i];
letter = (char) (letter + offset);
if (letter > 'z') {
letter = (char) (letter - 26);
} else if (letter < 'a') {
letter = (char) (letter + 26);
}
words[i] = letter;

Edit
I figured it out, with try catch and changing things with variables. Thank you to all who invested time and effort into this question and showing me how to declare EditText variables and the like.

Please follow the Android examples more closely:
public class EncryptActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText thingToEncrypt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText3); //no! don't do this
Don't use field initialisation with findViewById(int id) as you have done above.
You need to put it in onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState):
EditText thingToEncrypt;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_encrypt);
thingToEncrypt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText3);
}
Why? Views like EditText do not become available until setContentView(int layoutId) has been called. Please read the official guide to understand Activity lifecycles.

The scenario might be, you have not declared your activity in AndroidManifest.xml file. kindly check it.
Provide complete details about the error, so we can direct you in correct path.

Android Studio Bluetooth :- attempt to invoke a virtual method on a null object reference

I am building a simple app which switches on the Bluetooth of a device and sets it to visible.
I have a separate java class file which has the Bluetooth functions I need, and these are called from another java class which is linked to my activity, through an object of the said class.
This is my code:
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
/**
* Created by mark on 11/11/2016.
*/
public class Bluetooth_API extends AppCompatActivity{
BluetoothAdapter blueAdp;
public Bluetooth_API() {
blueAdp = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
}
protected int bluetooth_ON() {
startActivityForResult(new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE), 0);
//blueAdp.enable(); //instead of above line - without alert dialog for permission
return 0;
}
protected int bluetooth_OFF() {
blueAdp.disable(); //
return 0;
}
protected int bluetooth_setVisible() {
if(!blueAdp.isDiscovering()) {
startActivityForResult(new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE), 0);
}
return 0;
}
}
And this is the part of the code from the other activity which is calling my functions:
scanButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent nextLayout = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), com.ai.mark.robot_dancing.Scanning_Devices.class);
startActivity(nextLayout);
blue.bluetooth_ON();
//blue.bluetooth_setVisible();
}
});
I am getting the error below once I run my code, I believe it has to do with the activity not being the right one since my Bluetooth functions are in another file (I also tried copying the methods to my activity class and they worked beautifully).
Error:

Any ideas on what is causing this?
Thanks.

Don't invoke such code in Activity constructor:
blueAdp = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
Use onCreate(android.os.Bundle) for that:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
blueAdp = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
}
