Create player (which doesn't play file)

I have a class that create video player (code is attached below), this class work only with video file. I want to show the player without a video file, and when I send to the object, by public method "setFile", it's will start to play.

I tried to send "null", instead of a file to this class, but I got an error ("java.lang.NullPointerException").

VideoPlayer player = new VideoPlayer(null, videoWidth, videoHeight);

And the error:

Also I tried create Media without file: (same error)

media = new Media(videoFile.toURI().toString());
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(null);
mediaView = new MediaView(mediaPlayer);

The Class:

import java.io.File;

import javafx.beans.property.DoubleProperty;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.Slider;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.layout.Region;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaView;
import javafx.util.Duration;

public class VideoPlayer extends GridPane  {

    File videoFile;
    Media media;
    MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
    MediaView mediaView;

    DoubleProperty width;
    DoubleProperty height;

    VideoPlayer(File file, double width, double height) {

        setHgap(10);
        setVgap(10);
        setPadding(new Insets(10, 10, 10, 10));

        setFile(file);
        mediaView.setFitHeight(height*0.80);
        mediaView.setFitWidth(width*0.80);
        mediaView.setPreserveRatio(true);


        add(mediaView, 1, 0); 
        add(setSlider(),1,1);

    }

    public HBox setSlider() {

        // Play and pause button
        Button playButton = new Button("Play");
        playButton.setOnAction(e -> {
            if (playButton.getText().equals("Play")) {
                mediaPlayer.play();
                playButton.setText("pause");
            } else {
                mediaPlayer.pause();
                playButton.setText("Play");
            }
        });


        // Rewind button
        Button rewindButton = new Button("rewind");
        rewindButton.setOnAction(e -> mediaPlayer.seek(Duration.ZERO));

        // Slieder for volume
        Slider slVolume = new Slider();
        slVolume.setPrefWidth(150);
        slVolume.setMaxWidth(Region.USE_PREF_SIZE);
        slVolume.setMinWidth(30);
        slVolume.setValue(50);
        mediaPlayer.volumeProperty().bind(slVolume.valueProperty().divide(100));
        HBox hBox = new HBox(10);
        hBox.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
        hBox.getChildren().addAll(playButton, rewindButton,
                new Label("Volume"), slVolume);
        return hBox;
    }

    public void setFile(File file) {

        videoFile=file;
        videoFile = file;
        media = new Media(videoFile.toURI().toString());
        mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
        mediaView = new MediaView(mediaPlayer);
        width = mediaView.fitWidthProperty();
        height = mediaView.fitHeightProperty();
    }

    public void playVideo() {
        mediaPlayer.play();
    }
}

When you pass a null argument to your constructor's first arg, this is passed to setFile as this: setFile(null)

This function has:

public void setFile(File file) {
    videoFile = file;
    videoFile = file; // You are doing this twice? Is this an error on your part?
    media = new Media(videoFile.toURI().toString()); // This is where the null pointer is happening.
}

videoFile is null, and you are calling toURI() on a null object.

I do not know if this will fully solve your issue, but unless you change your code -- you need to guard against nulls like so:

public void setFile(File file) {
    if (file == null)
        return;
    videoFile = file;
    media = new Media(videoFile.toURI().toString());
    mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
    mediaView = new MediaView(mediaPlayer);
    width = mediaView.fitWidthProperty();
    height = mediaView.fitHeightProperty();
}
