I am trying to make a Register system for android. It registers users into the database and they receive an email confirmation, however the application crashes and closes.
I have checked the forum of how to correct NullPointer errors, however I am struggling, therefore could someone please offer me a helping hand. I have checked the post .What is a Null Pointer Exception, and how do I fix it?. Still cannot find my solution please advise and help.
