ProgressBar crashing activity(null object reference / or not visible)

In the following code of my MainActivity (which downloads a json I need in another activity and shows a loading progress bar), which starts before launching HomeActivity, I get a null object reference error (on the getProgress() method), but HomeActivity then starts anyway if I press back button.
I have searched for this kind of error, but the only solution that seems working is the one that let me starts the HomeActivity after some delay, changing setProgress method like this: (but it seems that the bar doesn't change and I don't think it's a real solution to the problem)
public void setProgress(ProgressBar bar, int progress) {
int oldProgress = bar.getProgress();
int totalProgress = oldProgress + progress;
bar.setProgress(totalProgress);
if (bar.getProgress() == 100) {
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
final Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, HomePage.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}, 4000);
}
}

then finally i call it in my homescreen class. with an intent

UpdateService is a Service. It is not an Activity. To start a service, you call startService(), not startActivity().

As UpdateService is a service you have to start it by startService() method like #CommonsWare mentioned above. Also don't forget to add your service in Manifest file.

UpdateService is not an activity, It's a class that is extending services.
I think u r a very beginner.
Please go to Udacity and learn the concepts before tingling with android, otherwise, u will waste lot of your time in finding a copy-paste solution.

Do not work with sockets in main (gui) thread. Use AsyncTask!
Android fails if work with sockets in main (gui) thread.
Example:
new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {

// do in thread, use sockets

How to display lat/long markers on google map v2 android

I'm currently working on an android app with web services, using an external database. The app consists of several tasks and each task is assigned to each camera id. Each camera have specific long/lat stored in the database. So right now when I select a specific task, there would be a guide button showing the user current location as a marker in the google map. I want to display the long/lat of the task as a marker on the google map, so there would be 2 marker. Just need some help with the android coding. Any help would be appreciated!

You can do an asynck task to get the DB values and call this task in onlocationchange.

Missing access tokens

This is the code i have currently, but I am unable to get the access tokens from my callback, any tips or hints will be appreciated.

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_tweetr);
Button tweetr = (Button)findViewById(R.id.tweetr);
//create a new twitter configuration using user details
tweetTwitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
tweetTwitter.setOAuthConsumer(TWIT_KEY, TWIT_SECRET);
//create a twitter instance
// tweetTwitter = new TwitterFactory(twitConf).getInstance();
tweetr.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
dt.execute();
}
});
}
public class TweetTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String> {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Object... values) {

} catch (TwitterException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block

}
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(requestToken.getAuthenticationURL())));

try {

//String token = accessToken.getToken(), secret = accessToken.getTokenSecret();
} catch (TwitterException ex) {
Log.e("Main.onNewIntent", "" + ex.getMessage());
}
}};
th.start();
}else
Log.d("URI", "FAILED");
}
}

I had to use the same requestToken in order to gain access with my app, so I had to edit the manifest file to allow only one instance of the activity to run after returning from webview login panel. That solved it for me.
