You are calling findViewById before Activity's onCreate method (in the constructor?).

What you should do is to initialize it in the Activity's onCreate:

Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.your_layout);
    mPrice = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.T_Price);
}
