How can i fix this? "Method invocation 'isEmailVerified' may produce 'java.lang.NullPointerException'"

Question

I tried to solve it but I can not do anything, I always get the NPE even with the try and catch, I do not know what else to do, please some help,

what is the correct way to remove the npe? What should I put?

try{
    if(user.isEmailVerified()){
      Log.d(TAG, "onComplete: success. email is verified.");
      Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, HomeActivity.class);
      startActivity(intent);
    } else {
      Toast.makeText(mContext, "Email is not verified \n check your email inbox.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      mProgressbar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
      mPleaseWait.setVisibility(View.GONE);
      mAuth.signOut();
    }
} catch (NullPointerException e){
    Log.e(TAG, "onComplete: NullPointerException: " + e.getMessage() );
}

when I delete the progress bar the program is executed but then I get all this in the logcat...

Are you sure that this is the only case in which you're using `isEmailVerified()`? Also consider testing for `null` instead of using exceptions. — synchronizer, Feb 19 '18 at 02:18
I delete the progressbar and it run, so I suposse I have to delete that — Pedro Lizarraga, Feb 19 '18 at 02:19
1) See [What is a stack trace, and how can I use it to debug my application errors?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/3988788/418556) & [What is a Null Pointer Exception, and how do I fix it?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/218384/418556) 2) Please learn common Java nomenclature (naming conventions - e.g. `EachWordUpperCaseClass`, `firstWordLowerCaseMethod()`, `firstWordLowerCaseAttribute` unless it is an `UPPER_CASE_CONSTANT`) and use it consistently. 3) For better help sooner, post a [MCVE] or [Short, Self Contained, Correct Example](http://www.sscce.org/). — Andrew Thompson, Feb 19 '18 at 02:59
.. 4) Change `Log.e(TAG, "onComplete: NullPointerException: " + e.getMessage() );` to `e.printStackTrace(); Log.e(TAG, "onComplete: NullPointerException: " + e.getMessage() );` — Andrew Thompson, Feb 19 '18 at 03:00

Try-catch in this situation will prevent your app from possible crash. That is just a Lint warning.

If you want to remove the warning. First check if the variable user is null.

if (user == null){
    // show error
    return;
}
// your code

Before calling isEmailverified check for user. User may be null, so when you try to call a method on null compiler will through null pointer exception.

Try if( user != Null and user.isEmailVerified)

If you are using mAuth to log your users you can try

if(mAuth.getCurrentUser() != null) {

//do your stuff
if(user.isEmailVerified()){ ...}

}

or

if(((mAuth.getCurrentUser() != null)&&(user.isEmailVerified()))) {

//do your stuff
   Log.d(TAG, "onComplete: success. email is verified."); ....

}

before you ask for the method isEmailVerified();

so you can guarantee that you have an user connected before requesting information from them

How can i fix this? "Method invocation 'isEmailVerified' may produce 'java.lang.NullPointerException'"
