Null Pointer Exception in Oreo

Question

I keep getting a Null Pointer exception when running an app in Oreo but everything works with no errors in KitKat. The error says the exception is on the OnClickListner. Code is:

   package com.example.magicid;

    import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.widget.Button;
    import android.widget.EditText;
    import android.widget.TextView;

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    EditText etID;
    Button btnSubmit;
    TextView tvResults;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        etID = findViewById(R.id.edID);
        btnSubmit = findViewById(R.id.btnSubmit);
        tvResults = findViewById(R.id.tvResults);


        btnSubmit.setOnClickListener(new 
    View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v)
            {

                String idNumber = 
    etID.getText().toString().trim();

                String dob = idNumber.substring(0, 6);

                int gender = 

 Integer.parseInt(Character.toString(idNumber.charAt(6)));

                String sGender;

                if (gender < 5)
                    sGender = getString(R.string.female);
                else
                    sGender = getString(R.string.male);

                 int nationality = 


   Integer.parseInt(Character.toString(idNumber.charAt(10)));

                String sNationality;

                if (nationality == 0)
                    sNationality = 
    getString(R.string.sacit);
                else
                    sNationality = 
    getString(R.string.permanent);

                String text = getString(R.string.dob) + dob 
    + "\n" +
                        getString(R.string.gender) + sGender 
    + "\n" +
                        getString(R.string.nationality) + 
    sNationality;

                tvResults.setText(text);


            }
        });

    }
    }

Any help would be appreciated
