Please don't tag questions with the android-studio tag just because you use it: the Android Studio tag should **only** be used when you have questions about the IDE itself, and not any code you write (or want to write) in it. Also, please create a [mcve] — Zoe, Feb 22 '19 at 16:02

You never initialized the NewYork variable, so it is set to null when setLocation() is called. You can change this by doing:

public class Common {
    // Create new Location with an empty provider name, it's not necessary here
    public static Location NewYork = new Location(""); 
}

OR

public void setLocation() {
    Common.NewYork = new Location(""); 
    ...
}
