ActivityMainWallet.java (a part with 212 line):

    mDrawerLayout   = (DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.END);
mDrawerLay      = (NavigationView)findViewById(R.id.navigation_view);
mDrawerLay.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
TextView navigationTotalCreditTextView = (TextView)mDrawerLay.findViewById(R.id.nav_drawer_total_credits);
navigationTotalCreditTextView.setText("Total Credits: " + PreferenceConnector.readInteger(aiContext,
        PreferenceConnector.WALLETPOINTS, 0));
TextView navigationWalletIDText = (TextView)mDrawerLay.findViewById(R.id.nav_drawer_wallet_id);
navigationWalletIDText.setText("Wallet ID: " + PreferenceConnector.readString(aiContext,
        PreferenceConnector.WALLETID, ""));
TextView navigationUsernameText = (TextView)mDrawerLay.findViewById(R.id.nav_drawer_username);
navigationUsernameText.setText(PreferenceConnector.readString(aiContext,
        PreferenceConnector.USERNAME, ""));

A line 212 of it:

navigationTotalCreditTextView.setText("Total Credits: " + PreferenceConnector.readInteger(aiContext,
    PreferenceConnector.WALLETPOINTS, 0));

Please help me guys! What is wrong? How to fix it? It's the last error in my app. When I want to sign-in via Google Plus i'm getting this error in debugger and forced to close app. Thanks!

You are doing `findViewById` - what if that view doesn't exist? — Andrew Li, Oct 24 '16 at 00:09
Your error message, ```Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException.. at com.fashionwallet.ActivityMainWallet.onCreate(ActivityMainWallet.java:212)``` is saying that `navigationTotalCreditTextView` is null. Try running a debugger at the point where you instantiate that view. Based on your layout, it's probably because there's no `nav_drawer_total_credits` view under `navigation_view`. — Gino Mempin, Oct 24 '16 at 00:12
@user2393513 ```TextView navigationTotalCreditTextView = (TextView)mDrawerLay.findViewById(R.id.nav_drawer_total_credits);```, but `mDrawerLay` (which is `navigation_view`) does not have a TextView element. Unless I'm reading your XML wrong or the posted XML layout is incomplete/incorrect. — Gino Mempin, Oct 24 '16 at 00:50
@ginomempin take a look: http://pastebin.com/kvSrDcRe I added is it correct? — user2393513, Oct 24 '16 at 08:00
@user2393513 IDs still don't match: your code is looking for `nav_drawer_total_credits` but your XML has `navigationTotalCreditTextView`. You can EASILY debug this yourself by running this through a debugger and checking that `navigationTotalCreditTextView` is not anymore null. — Gino Mempin, Oct 24 '16 at 09:48

TextView with id nav_drawer_wallet_id does not exist in the xml file.Check whether the id in java and the id in xml are the same.
