NullPointer Exception:Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int com.musicg.wave.WaveHwader.getSampleRate()' on a null object reference

Question

I am trying to run the code from github but my app crash. This code compare take a music input from microphone & compare that audio with database present in app using musicg.

It has two gui button, one start & other stop.

Start- will take input from microphone.

Stop- will stop the recording from mic & compares whether the audio present in it or not.

When I try to run app on my phone & press button, app crashes & give me the error.

Someone can please help me to troubleshoot the problem.

Thanks.:)

It seems that the issue with the getTempFilename() method and directly with these lines:

if(tempFile.exists())
        tempFile.delete();

As you are calling the getTempFilename() method to create a file for AudioRecord object:

    private void writeAudioDataToFile(){
        byte data[] = new byte[bufferSize];
        String filename = getTempFilename();
        FileOutputStream os = null;
        ...

and you are calling the same getTempFilename() method to compare temp files:

private void compareTempFile() {
    File file = new File(getTempFilename());
    Wave w1 = new Wave(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.tj));
    Wave w2 = new Wave(file.getPath());
    FingerprintSimilarity fps = w1.getFingerprintSimilarity(w2);
    float score = fps.getScore();
    float sim = fps.getSimilarity();
    AppLog.i(sim+" tj");
}

Each time when you call the getTempFilename() method it creates a new file, that is why you got NullPointerException.

Try to refactor your code to create one temp file per one record-compare session.

Thanks for your help, but sorry am a fresher in android, am in learning phase , can you please correct the code, I tried but not able to resolve the issue. Again Thanks A lot :) — Tanmay Jain, Oct 10 '18 at 04:55
