I've an android app, who send notifications every day once via NotificationActivity if User check a slider to enable notifications My problem is simple: when I launch NotificationActivity from MainActivity, app crashes Logs tells me that come from views that provides nullPointerException :
I think my views (editText, slider, checkboxes) that are in NotificationActivity are not correctly binded
