NullPointerException Caused by getActionBar() - java

Trying to set up the Navigation Drawer of an app right now, and every time I try to run the app on my Android device, I get a NullPointerException. The error is caused by getActionBar.setDisplayHomeUpAsEnabled(true) and getActionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true)
Even if I remove these two lines of code, I still get an error.
How do I fix this quickly?

First, if getActionBar() in an Activity is returning null, then you do not have a native action bar in your activity.
Second, android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle does not work with the native action bar. It works with the appcompat-v7 action bar backport. If you are going to use android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle, then you have to move your app over to use appcompat-v7:
Add appcompat-v7 as a dependency
Inherit from ActionBarActivity instead of Activity
Call getSupportActionBar() rather than getActionBar()
Use Theme.AppCompat (or something that inherits from it) as your activity's theme

I had the same error as you. My solution was to set theme with ThemeAppCompat, make your activity extend AppCompatActivity and use the method of getSupportActionBar instead of using the method of getActionBar. In short, you should make sure the actionBar of theme and the method which to get actionBar have the same support library.

In your styles.xml file, change your theme parent to NoActionBar if you are using Toolbar.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

My App is crashing on startup and i have no clue why. Gradle build runs fine without any errors

I'm making an app that by now should save and then get the value of a numeric Edit Text. When i put to load data from string.xml it went fine, but when i switched to SharedPreferences it didn't even start. Any help finding the problem would be appreciated. BTW .java is below and i'm sure layout .xml is fine.

The problem is that you are calling findViewById and getSharedPreferences before layout has been applied and the activity (this) was initialized. You should put those method calls in onCreate after setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);.
Dejan is right about moving part of the code into the onCreate lifecycle method, specifically, your code should change to something like this:

In the last part of home.java when i add setContentView(R.layout.activity_myaccount2);
then the app crashes.
The problem here is a Null Pointer Exception when calling drawer.closeDrawer(); and as you've stated this happens after setContentView(R.layout.activity_myaccount2); is called.
By using setContentView, you're replacing your whole layout with another one, and it seems in this case like you're replacing your layout that contains R.id.drawer_layout with another one that doesn't contain it. The null pointer exception then happens when you try to use findViewById and closeDrawer, when the layout containing the drawer isn't there anymore, it's been replaced with another using setContentView.
To fix this you may need to rethink how you are structuring your app and displaying different content. As a starting point, I'd suggest looking up examples using an Activity which contains your drawer and Fragments to show the different pieces of content. The Activity and drawer are always there, only the fragments change, like this tutorial.

how to implement an adapter for a listview in my specific case?

I have a list of Claim objects, each claim object is initialized with a name and an expense list.
i made an adapter for the listview for the claims. what I am trying to do now is create an adaptor for the expenses. Since each claim has its own expense list, i cannot just make a general adapter. i need to make an adapter for a specific Claim, or am thinking of this wrong? here is what I did..
JUST TO BE CLEAR< MY QUESTION IS: How do I make an adaptor for the list initializd with the expenses, and open that list-view to see the expenses of a specific claim when I click on it?

}
}
As you can see, i made my listview adapter for the expenses inside the onclick method, since i need the position to get the expense list out of the specific claim.
How can I do this/ when I run this code I get null pointer exceptions on line 64.
here is the log cat.

Android - IllegalStateException: could not execute method of the activity

I know that this is question had been asked several time, but I saw that the answer always change in relation to the code.
So, I have GameActivity that retrieve informations from a database in the global "info" variable, that is a String[].
Next I need to replace the current fragment with another fragment in relation to the button pressed (see methods "trueAnswer" and "falseAnswer"), and set two TextViews of that new fragment with the informations retrieved in the "info" string array.
The problem is that I'm able to set the informations the first time, in the first fragment in the method onStart() when the activity is created, but then seems like the "info" array is empty, because the "if" in the methods "trueAnswer" and "falseAnswer" doesn't works, and when I try to set the TextViews in the new fragment with the method "changeText(String, String)", the app crashes and return a NullPointerExeption.
I can't really see where is the error in the code, so I post here my methods and the logCat, hoping that may help you too.

Thank you very much in advance
You're creating a new fragment and immediately calling changeText() on it. The fragment transaction that creates the fragment view, calling the lifecycle callbacks such as onCreateView(), has not yet been run.
Consider passing arguments to your fragmens using a bundle and not call fragment methods directly outside fragment lifecycle.
You are calling
newFragment.changeText(info[1], info[0]);
too soon. You need to wait till the Fragment is attached to the Activity. Your views are null.
Also use .equalsto compare strings instead of == .
if(info[2].equals("1"))
Get to know Fragment lifecycle
