I am trying to implement the ViewModel Module but it is giving me this Null Pointer Exception Error.
Here is the error:
E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

Here is the calling activity:

@Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.driver_reach_pickup_activity);
vm = new ViewModelProvider(this).get(DriverToPickupViewModel.class);
mpleasewait=new ProgressDialog(this);
mpleasewait.setTitle("Please Wait ...");

}
}
IT CRASHES AT THIS LINE AND ALL OTHER SIMILAR LINES THAT FOLLOW
vm.getdrivername()
Here is the ViewModel class
public class DriverToPickupViewModel extends ViewModel {
private SavedStateHandle mState;
public DriverToPickupViewModel(){}
public DriverToPickupViewModel(SavedStateHandle savedStateHandle){
mState = savedStateHandle;
}
void setPickupLocation(Location L){
mState.set("Pickup",L);
}
void setDriverLocation(Location L){
mState.set("Driver",L);
}
void setdrivername(String drivername){
mState.set("drivername",drivername);
}
void setdriverphone(String phone){
mState.set("phone", phone);
}
void setdistance(String distance){
mState.set("distance",distance);
}
void settime(String time){
mState.set("time",time);
}
LiveData<Location> getPickupLocation(){
return mState.getLiveData("Pickup");
}
LiveData<Location> getDriverLocation(){
return mState.getLiveData("Driver");
}
LiveData<String> getdrivername(){
return mState.getLiveData("drivername");
}
LiveData<String> getdriverphone(){
return mState.getLiveData("phone");
}
LiveData<String> getdistance(){
return mState.getLiveData("distance");
}
LiveData<String> gettime(){
return mState.getLiveData("time");
}
}
I am not able to understand as to why this is happening.
I have checked for vm==null. It is not crashing here, which means the viewmodel is not null but it is crashing at every vm.get**** method
As per the recent answer, mState was null which was stupid on my part to not see it.
But I try to correct it as:
vm = new ViewModelProvider(this, new SavedStateViewModelFactory(getApplication(),this)).get(DriverToPickupViewModel.class);
And i get the error:
Activity cannot be convert to SavedStateRegistry owner
