NullPointerException in savedInstanceState Bundle

I am getting a NullPointerException when my code tries to access the value in a key/value pair created by onSaveInstanceState method of Activity class.
I set break points and I know for fact my Bundle is not null and it contains references to my key/values. I dont understand why I am getting this runtime error. Here are my codes for onSaveInstanceState
#Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
int mPoints = winCount;
int hPoints = loseCount;
String reTextView = resultsTextView.getText().toString();
String pTextView = pointsTextView.getText().toString();
String roTextView = rollTextView.getText().toString();
outState.putInt("MY_POINTS", mPoints);
outState.putInt("HOUSE_POINTS", hPoints);
outState.putString("RESULTS", reTextView);
outState.putString("POINTS", pTextView);
outState.putString("ROLL", roTextView);
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}
and here is my code to restore the state on the onCreate method
// check if app just started or is being restored from memory
if ( savedInstanceState == null ) // the app just started running
{
winCount = 0;
loseCount = 0;
}
else
{
winCount = savedInstanceState.getInt("MY_POINTS");
loseCount = savedInstanceState.getInt("HOUSE_POINTS");
resultsTextView.setText(String.valueOf(savedInstanceState.getString("RESULTS")));
pointsTextView.setText(String.valueOf(savedInstanceState.getString("POINTS")));
rollTextView.setText(String.valueOf(savedInstanceState.getString("ROLL")));
}
I get the runtime error on line that starts with resultsTextView.setText... and here is contents of the savedInstanceState Bundle retrieved from break points in debug mode
Bundle[{RESULTS=Roll Again, MY_POINTS=2, POINTS=Your Point is 8,
HOUSE_POINTS=2,
android:viewHierarchyState=Bundle[{android:Panels=android.util.SparseArray#421c5560,
android:views=android.util.SparseArray#421c5358,
android:ActionBar=android.util.SparseArray#421c57f8}], ROLL=You Rolled
Easy Four}]
as you can see all my strings have a value, the interesting thing is that I dont get the NullPointerException runtime error on int variables (winCount and loseCount) but I am getting it at string values. I appreciate any help.
Update: here is the whole error log from log cat, I have resultsTextView.setText... at line 68 (within the else block on onCreat())

here is my whole onCreate method, since many commentators requested to see the whole method. Hope it helps!
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity);
// check if app just started or is being restored from memory

{
winCount = 0;
loseCount = 0;
}
else

winCount = savedInstanceState.getInt("MY_POINTS");
loseCount = savedInstanceState.getInt("HOUSE_POINTS");
resultsTextView.setText(savedInstanceState.getString("RESULTS"));
pointsTextView.setText(savedInstanceState.getString("POINTS"));

resetButton.setOnClickListener(resetButtonLinstener);
//on shake event
mSensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
mAccelerometer = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);
mShakeDetector = new ShakeDetector(new OnShakeListener() {
#Override

game(rollDice());
}
});
resultsTextView.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
myPointsTextView.setText(String.format("%s", winCount));
housePointsTextView.setText(String.format("%s", loseCount));
}

You should initialize your TextViews before calling setText method. So onCreate should be like this:
setContentView(R.layout.activity);
die1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
die2 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
dealButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.dealButton);
resetButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.resetButton);
resultsTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.resultsTextView);
myPointsTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myPointstTextView);
housePointsTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.housePointsTextView);
pointsTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.pointsTextView1);
rollTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.rollTextView);
// check if app just started or is being restored from memory
if ( savedInstanceState == null ) // the app just started running
{
winCount = 0;
loseCount = 0;
}
else
{
winCount = savedInstanceState.getInt("MY_POINTS");
loseCount = savedInstanceState.getInt("HOUSE_POINTS");
resultsTextView.setText(savedInstanceState.getString("RESULTS"));
pointsTextView.setText(savedInstanceState.getString("POINTS"));
rollTextView.setText(savedInstanceState.getString("ROLL"));
}

Using the runOnUiThread to update Listview

I have written a thread that uses runOnUiThread to update the listview approximately every 500ms. This thread is written outside OnCreate(), but is called from OnCreate. Everything compiles fine, but I seem to be getting an error that tells me that my adapter is null, even though I use that same adapter to "initialize" the listview in OnCreate. I have posted both my code and my log. The main error that I run into, java.lang.NullPointerException, refers to line 454 of the MainActivity, which in this case is adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are creating a local variable adapter in your onCreate() and assigning a new ItemAdapter to it.
ItemAdapter adapter = new ItemAdapter(this,R.layout.row, ids);
This is called variable shadowing; that variable has absolutely nothing to do with the instance field adapter that you're trying to use in GUI_Update() .. which is why it's null there, and throws the NPE.
Your IDE should actually be pointing that out to you.

}
I also do this:
public void takePic(){
home_takePic.setEnabled(false);
camera = Camera.open();
***camera.startPreview();***
if(bitmapList == null){
bitmapList = new ArrayList<Bitmap>();
}
for(int i=0; i<5; i++){
camera.takePicture(null, null, new MyPictureCallback());
SystemClock.sleep(1000);
}
// saveBitmapToSdcard();
releaseResource();
home_takePic.setEnabled(true);
}
but still get the same Exception
the method camera.takePicture have been performed in version 4.0.4 but faild in version 4.1.1, who can tell me how to solve it ,please help me ,thanks

You need to be making a call to startPreview() before you attempt the call to takePicture(). Do this after you call Camera.open().
As per Android documentation:
Important: Call startPreview() to start updating the preview surface.
Preview must be started before you can take a picture.

Android displaying image from Database

Hi I learned how to grab data from a SQL and display onto TextView. But I'm having little trouble displaying images.
The images are stored in the SQL database as URL but I can't display as an image onto the view.
I've done some research and found on "How to display image with given URL", but I'm just having a little difficulty understanding the concept of grabbing the URL and display .. Please kindly help me. Thank you!
This is the errorLog i'm getting.
Update
Line 159 : photoMe.setImageDrawable(drawable);

You don't seem to understand an AsyncTask. The point is that it does not run on the UI thread, making it possible to do long term IO like HTTP connections. Wrapping the entire doInBackground in a runOnUIThread is completely counter to that. Its not your only problem, but its on the list.
The rest is too hard to read due to formatting, but look on line 159. Some variable you're using there is null.

Android App crashing in method when used on actual device but works fully in Eclipse

This is a Android application with sdk set as:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="11"/>
The problem is that the app will run fine in the Eclipse Environment on a AVD. When I install directly to the phone or even set the phone as the device to use in Eclipse the app fails in the below area of code. To narrow down where the error was occurring I placed some toast's along the way and the "clicked" toast displays but the "Intent Created" does not. So that leaves me with only 2 lines, but I can not figure out for the life of me why it dies in that area. Code of the method with the toast's in it is as follows:
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
String bid = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.bid)).getText()
.toString();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
BusinessDetails.class);
in.putExtra(TAG_BID, bid);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Intent Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
startActivityForResult(in, 100);
}
});
BusinessDetails Class to the bundle method is as follows:
package com.example.businessLookUp;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;

private static final String TAG_ADDRESS = "address";
private static final String TAG_CITY = "city";
private static final String TAG_STATE = "state";
private static final String TAG_ZIP = "zip";
private static final String TAG_PHONE = "phone";
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.edit_business);
// save button
btnSave = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSave);
Intent i = getIntent();
bid = i.getStringExtra(TAG_BID);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "check 1", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// Getting complete product details in background thread
new GetBusinessDetails().execute();
The BusinessDetails was truncated here because the line below is never reached:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "check 1", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
which tells me that the code is never even reached... Any ideas where this is going wrong at???

And this is the ASYNC task that handles the networking:
class GetBusinessDetails extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(BusinessDetails.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Loading details. Please wait...");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setCancelable(true);
pDialog.show();
}
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
int success;
try {
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("bid", bid));
JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(
url_business_detials, "GET", params);
Log.d("Single Business Details", json.toString());
success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
if (success == 1) {
JSONArray businessObj = json.getJSONArray(TAG_BUSINESS); // JSON Array
JSONObject business = businessObj.getJSONObject(0);
TextView _bName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.bnameInf);
TextView _phone = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.phoneInf);
TextView _address = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.addressInf);
TextView _city = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.cityInf);
TextView _state = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.stateInf);
TextView _zip = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.zipInf);
_bName.setText(business.getString(TAG_NAME));
_phone.setText(business.getString(TAG_PHONE));
_address.setText(business.getString(TAG_ADDRESS));
_city.setText(business.getString(TAG_CITY));
_state.setText(business.getString(TAG_STATE));
_zip.setText(business.getString(TAG_ZIP));
}else{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No Match Returned", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
// dismiss the dialog once got all details
pDialog.dismiss();
}
}

Without a stacktrace i would bet my money on 2 things:
in onCreate the Activity is still starting up and you already create a Toast
visual stuff is often better off with an Activity Context instead of the Appcontext
anyway, stacktrace would be nice
com.example.businesslookup.BusinessDetails$GetBusinessDetails$1.run(BusinessDetails.java:127)
in this line, there is your problem
also please read:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/NetworkOnMainThreadException.html

You are using an AsyncTask, but you're also wrapping your code in a call to runOnUiThread() which defeats the purpose of using an AsyncTask. Try removing this wrapper and moving the UI access to onPostExecute():
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
int success;
try {
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("bid", bid));
JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(
url_business_detials, "GET", params);
Log.d("Single Business Details", json.toString());
success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
if (success == 1) {
JSONArray businessObj = json.getJSONArray(TAG_BUSINESS); // JSON Array
JSONObject business = businessObj.getJSONObject(0);
TextView _bName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.bnameInf);
TextView _phone = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.phoneInf);
TextView _address = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.addressInf);
TextView _city = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.cityInf);
TextView _state = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.stateInf);
TextView _zip = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.zipInf);
_bName.setText(business.getString(TAG_NAME));
_phone.setText(business.getString(TAG_PHONE));
_address.setText(business.getString(TAG_ADDRESS));
_city.setText(business.getString(TAG_CITY));
_state.setText(business.getString(TAG_STATE));
_zip.setText(business.getString(TAG_ZIP));
}else{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No Match Returned", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
(I don't know if exact this code will compile, but it's enough to give you the right idea.)
