Getting NullPointerException in a BankList Activity when sending data from MainActivity using intent in android

Question

I am trying to pass an arraylist between two activities, but my app crashes at the second activity. Can someone help me solve in this problem... Here, I have two parts of my MainActivity from where sending arraylist to another Activity which is BankList Activity

Part 1:
    Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, BankList.class);
    intent.putStringArrayListExtra("BANKLIST",bankListArrayList);
    startActivity(intent);

Part 2:
    Result<ArrayList<Bank>> banklist = (Result<ArrayList<Bank>>)data;
    if(banklist.getCode().equals("00")){
        Toast.makeText(this,"list Banks success",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        bankListArrayList = new ArrayList<>();

        for(Bank bank :banklist.getData()){
            bank.getIin();
            bank.getLogo();
            bank.getName();
            b
            ankListArrayList.add(bank.toString());
        }
        Log.d("BANK_ARRAYLIST","BANK_ARRAYLIST"+bankListArrayList);
        Toast.makeText(this,"BANK_ARRAYLIST"+bankListArrayList,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    }

My Second Activity (BankList)

public class BankList extends AppCompatActivity {

    ListView bankList;
    ArrayList<String> bankdataList;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_bank_list);

        bankList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.bankList);

        Intent intent = getIntent();
        intent.getStringArrayListExtra("BANKLIST");
        bankdataList.add(intent.toString());
        Toast.makeText(BankList.this,"bank list"+bankdataList,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        ArrayAdapter<String> itemsAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(),R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item, bankdataList);

        bankList.setAdapter(itemsAdapter);
    }
}

And my Log is :-

You forgot to initialize your bankdataList Arraylist just initialize it

ArrayList<String> bankdataList= new ArrayList();;

Sample code

    public class BankList extends AppCompatActivity {


    ListView bankList;
    ArrayList<String> bankdataList;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_bank_list);
        bankdataList= new ArrayList();
        bankList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.bankList);

        Intent intent = getIntent();
        intent.getStringArrayListExtra("BANKLIST");
        bankdataList.add(intent.toString());
        Toast.makeText(BankList.this,"bank list"+bankdataList,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        ArrayAdapter<String> itemsAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(),R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item, bankdataList);

        bankList.setAdapter(itemsAdapter);


    }
}

You have not initialize bankdataList before add items.

bankdataList =  new ArrayList<String>();
bankdataList.add(intent.getStringArrayListExtra("BANKLIST"));
