Unable to get advertising id: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to read from field 'java.lang.String com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.d.a' on a null object reference: ufv.a(:com.google.android.gms:3134)
I have searched Stack Overflow and Google for a solution but no luck; as well as the error above I was also getting the same error as Android Studio: Attempt to setOnClickListener on a null object reference, but the solution did not help and that error seems to come and go.
I am trying to implement sign in with Google following a tutorial on YouTube, I have done everything the same however my app closes on launch.
I think the error is related to this line of the code, but I am not sure.
findViewById(R.id.sign_in_button).setOnClickListener(this);
Below is the rest of the code.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_instructors);
mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
mAuthListener = new FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener() {
@Override
public void onAuthStateChanged(@NonNull FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth) {
FirebaseUser user = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser();
if(user != null)
Log.d ("AUTH", "user Logged in: " + user.getEmail());
else
Log.d("AUTH", "user logged out.");
}};
GoogleSignInOptions gso = new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_SIGN_IN)
.requestIdToken(getString(R.string.default_web_client_id))
.requestEmail()
.build();
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.enableAutoManage(this, this)
.addApi(Auth.GOOGLE_SIGN_IN_API, gso)
.build();
findViewById(R.id.sign_in_button).setOnClickListener(this);
and the xml for the sign_in_button is:
<com.google.android.gms.common.SignInButton
android:id="@+id/sign_in_button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
This is the logcat:
