Edit: It has been solved.
This question is not similar to previous ones. I have referred to app crash while using firebase phone Auth in android but my app is still crashing.
So I am trying to design a chat app where the user can login with OTP provided by Firebase but when I enter the OTP(right/wrong) received on phone the app crashes. If someone can please guide me it'll be fantastic.
Note: I have included the implementation "androidx.browser:browser:1.3.0" dependency but the app is still crashing when I try to verify the OTP
The main error I am getting is
E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: com.example.commutify, PID: 5168
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.widget.ProgressBar.setVisibility(int)' on a null object reference

So here is my code for class where OTP Authentication takes place
TextView mchangenumber;
EditText mgetotp;
android.widget.Button mverifyotp;
String enteredotp;
FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth;
ProgressBar mprogressbarofotpauth;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_otp_authentication);
mchangenumber = findViewById(R.id.changenumber);
mverifyotp = findViewById(R.id.verifyotp);
mgetotp = findViewById(R.id.getotp);
mprogressbarofotpauth = findViewById(R.id.progressbarofmain);
firebaseAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
mchangenumber.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(otpAuthentication.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
mverifyotp.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
enteredotp = mgetotp.getText().toString();
if(enteredotp.isEmpty()){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Enter Your OTP First", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else{
mprogressbarofotpauth.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
String coderecieved = getIntent().getStringExtra("otp");
PhoneAuthCredential credential = PhoneAuthProvider.getCredential(coderecieved, enteredotp);
signInWithPhoneAuthCredential(credential);
}
}
});
}
private void signInWithPhoneAuthCredential(PhoneAuthCredential credential) {
firebaseAuth.signInWithCredential(credential).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {
@Override
public void onComplete(@NonNull @org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull Task<AuthResult> task) {
if (task.isSuccessful()) {
mprogressbarofotpauth.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Login Successful!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent intent = new Intent(otpAuthentication.this, setProfile.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
} else {
if (task.getException() instanceof FirebaseAuthInvalidCredentialsException) {
mprogressbarofotpauth.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Login Failed!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
});
}
}
Here are my gradle dependencies
dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1'

If someone wants the MainActivity where I enter the number for verification here it is
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText mgetphonenumber;
android.widget.Button msendotp;
CountryCodePicker mcountrycodepicker;
//extra m is added for for easily assigning XML ID to Java ID
String countrycode;
String phonenumber;
FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth;
ProgressBar mprogressbarofmain;
PhoneAuthProvider.OnVerificationStateChangedCallbacks mCallbacks;
String codesent;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mcountrycodepicker = findViewById(R.id.countrycodepicker);
msendotp = findViewById(R.id.sendotpbutton);
mgetphonenumber = findViewById(R.id.getphonenumber);
mprogressbarofmain = findViewById(R.id.progressbarofmain);
firebaseAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
countrycode = mcountrycodepicker.getSelectedCountryCodeWithPlus();
//below segment is for those who want to change their countries
mcountrycodepicker.setOnCountryChangeListener(new CountryCodePicker.OnCountryChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onCountrySelected() {
countrycode = mcountrycodepicker.getSelectedCountryCodeWithPlus();
}
});
//for sending otp
msendotp.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String number;
number = mgetphonenumber.getText().toString();
//if the user doesn't enters the number
if(number.isEmpty()){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please Enter Your Number", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
//since a number has 10 digits
else if(number.length()<10){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please Enter a Valid Number", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else{
mprogressbarofmain.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
//concatenates country code and the number added by the user
phonenumber = countrycode + number;
PhoneAuthOptions options = PhoneAuthOptions.newBuilder(firebaseAuth)
.setPhoneNumber(phonenumber)
.setTimeout(60L, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.setActivity(MainActivity.this)
.setCallbacks(mCallbacks)
.build();
PhoneAuthProvider.verifyPhoneNumber(options);
}
}
});
//function to verify the number for otp
mCallbacks = new PhoneAuthProvider.OnVerificationStateChangedCallbacks() {
@Override
public void onVerificationCompleted(@NonNull PhoneAuthCredential phoneAuthCredential) {
//how to automatically fetch OTP(for future)
}
@Override
public void onVerificationFailed(@NonNull FirebaseException e) {
}
@Override
public void onCodeSent(@NonNull String s, @NonNull PhoneAuthProvider.ForceResendingToken forceResendingToken) {
super.onCodeSent(s, forceResendingToken);
//if the function runs successfully, the code is sent
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "OTP is Sent", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
mprogressbarofmain.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
codesent = s;
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, otpAuthentication.class);
intent.putExtra("otp", codesent);
startActivity(intent);
}
};
}
//for checking if the user exists(in order to open the chat screen)
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
if(FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser()!=null){
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, chatscreen.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
}
