I just added A new code to my app which is supposed to cennct via bluetooth to an arduino to control it... Im fairly new to programming java. Compiling has not shown any errors so far so I booted it up on my device and it crashes as soon as I open the Activity with the bluetooth code in it. Below you will find my Activity and my error logcat:

I hope someone can help :)

You never initialized your listView variable.

Make sure it's initialized under onCreate():

listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.whateveryourlistviewis);
