Android Studio Attempt to invoke virtual method on a null object reference error

Question

I have problem with LoginNew activity. When I click "Zaloguj się" button (id LogIn) app stops working. java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.text.Editable android.widget.EditText.getText()' on a null object reference error is displaying.

Error:

You set content view to `activity_login_new`, but the layout file you showed is `login_new_activity.xml` — Vladyslav Matviienko, Sep 20 '19 at 08:31

It's not working. Error is the same, but instead of android.widget.EditText.getText() is androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText.getText(). – RMaster 121 Sep 20 '19 at 08:02
the issue is here import android.widget.EditText; – Madhav Sep 20 '19 at 08:02
remove this import first then import again and try – Madhav Sep 20 '19 at 08:03
It's not working. If I understand correctly I have to delete "import android.widget.EditText;", build app, and import this again? – RMaster 121 Sep 20 '19 at 08:21
`AppCompatEditText ` extends `EditText`, therefore this will change nothing – Vladyslav Matviienko Sep 20 '19 at 08:33

First, you have to import androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText instead of android.widget.EditText

Secondly, use AppCompatEditText instead of EditText. you should modify the following lines

FirebaseAuth mAuth;
AppCompatEditText EditTextUsername;
AppCompatEditText EditTextPassword;

...

hope it helps you.

It's not working. Error java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.text.Editable androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText.getText()' on a null object reference at com.example.zapp4.LoginNew.userLogin(LoginNew.java:61) at com.example.zapp4.LoginNew.onClick(LoginNew.java:120) – RMaster 121 Sep 20 '19 at 08:47
what is your layout file name `activity_login_new` or `login_new_activity` ? – Jakir Hossain Sep 20 '19 at 08:48
My layout file is activity_login_new.xml – RMaster 121 Sep 20 '19 at 08:50
Bu the layout file you posted is `login_new_activity.xml` you mentioned. – Jakir Hossain Sep 20 '19 at 08:53
It was a typo, I have already corrected it. – RMaster 121 Sep 20 '19 at 08:58
where are `Przyciskzaloguj` , `zcoinnumber` and `zcoinimage` in your `login_new_activity.xml`? I don't see these, but you try to initialize these in your activity `Przyciskzaloguj = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Przyciskzaloguj);` , `zcoinnumber = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.zcoinnumber);` , `zcoinimage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.zcoinimage);` – Jakir Hossain Sep 20 '19 at 09:14
