What's confusing is this problem has started occurring even though I didn't make any changes in the code of login activity. Please help.

I understand what is a nullPointerException. It has been working fine for the past 1 month. Now I have started getting this problem out of nowhere, which is strange.

public class LoginActivity extends AppCompatActivity{

    private CallbackManager callbackManager;
    private LoginButton loginButton;
    private ImageView b_fb_login;


    //loader related
    private CustomProgress progressDialog;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        //initialize facebook sdk

        FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(LoginActivity.this);


        setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);





        //logout previously logged in accounts
        //for fb
        Log.i("check","here");
        LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();
        Log.i("check","there");





        //loader related
        progressDialog = new CustomProgress(this);

    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        //checking if user is logged in



        Log.i("check","resume");
       if (PrefUtils.getCurrentUser(LoginActivity.this) != null) {

            Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, XYZActivity.class);

            startActivity(intent);
            overridePendingTransition(R.anim.enter, R.anim.exit);
            finish();
        }





        callbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create();

        loginButton = (LoginButton) findViewById(R.id.login_button);
        loginButton.setReadPermissions("public_profile", "email", "basic_info");

        b_fb_login = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.b_fb_login);
        Log.i("check", "1");
        b_fb_login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                if (isInternetAvailable()) {

                    loginButton.performClick();

                    loginButton.setPressed(true);

                    loginButton.invalidate();

                    loginButton.registerCallback(callbackManager, mCallBack);

                 //   loginButton.setPressed(false);

                    loginButton.invalidate();

                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), getStringFromId(R.string.no_internet), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }
        });

    }

       @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);


            progressDialog.show();
            callbackManager.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        }
    }


    private FacebookCallback<LoginResult> mCallBack = new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {

            // App code
            GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newMeRequest(
                    loginResult.getAccessToken(),
                    new GraphRequest.GraphJSONObjectCallback() {
                        @Override
                        public void onCompleted(
                                JSONObject object,
                                GraphResponse response) {


                            Log.e("response: ", response + "");
                            try {

                                String email = object.getString("email");
                                String name = object.getString("name");
                                String gender = object.getString("gender");
                                String id = object.getString("id");
                       //         Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),object.getString("gender")+object.getString("id"),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                nextScreen(email, getStringFromId(R.string.login_type_facebook), name,id);

                            } catch (Exception e) {
                                e.printStackTrace();
                            }
                        }

                    });

            Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
            parameters.putString("fields", "name,email,gender,id");
            request.setParameters(parameters);
            request.executeAsync();
        }

        @Override


        public void onCancel() {

            progressDialog.cancel1();
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), getStringFromId(R.string.unable_login), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        }

        @Override

        public void onError(FacebookException e) {  //when no internet connection

            progressDialog.cancel1();
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), getStringFromId(R.string.unable_login), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        }};

        public void nextScreen(String email, String login_type, String name,String login_id) {

            progressDialog.cancel1();
            Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, GetMobileActivity.class);
            intent.putExtra("login_type", login_type);
            intent.putExtra("email", email);
            intent.putExtra("name", name);
            intent.putExtra("login_id",login_id);
            startActivity(intent);
            overridePendingTransition(R.anim.enter, R.anim.exit);

        }









}

If it was working before and just stopped, check if facebook changed anything. Something is coming up null which means something, somewhere, is not returning a value when it should have. It could be a facebook api call. — nbering, Jun 17 '16 at 14:49
Yes. But this problem didn't start occurring right after made changes in the gradle. — Ojasva Jain, Jun 17 '16 at 14:51
The error is very clear. You are passing an argument called "context" into something when it is null. Pass a non-null value there instead. — NoChinDeluxe, Jun 17 '16 at 14:51

what did you update in your gradle? Was it some facebook dependency ? — Blackbelt, Jun 17 '16 at 14:56
I added a datetime picker dependency yesterday. Removed it then. — Ojasva Jain, Jun 17 '16 at 15:00

Go on gradle and do this:

from: compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.+
to:   compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.12.1'

answer here: "Argument 'context' cannot be null"
