Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method on a null object reference

Question

I am new to Android. And I keep getting this error:

Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.view.ViewTreeObserver android.widget.GridView.getViewTreeObserver()' on a null object reference

The other parts of the program run fine, but when I click on CalendarFragment, the app crashes and I get this error.

Please Help. Thanks.

The code of CalendarFragment:

package app.pal.study.samplestudy;

check calendar_grid_view is available in your fragment_calendar layout with same id — Pravin Fofariya, Apr 08 '16 at 12:08

Try declaring Calendar inside OncreateView()

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {

   Calendar calendar;
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_calendar, container, false);

    return rootView;
}
