I know it is dull to ask answers for a NullPointerException, and there are similar questions out there. However, I just cannot find a solution for my problem from the other questions.
I have 2 classes:
- CreateContactActivityl.java:
Passes intent of a text output to RegexOCR1.java
- RegexOCR1.java:
Receives the text output, pass text output into a method that is within this class
The error occurs in RegexOCR1.java as stated by the logcat:
Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.l33902.contactmanagment1512/com.example.l33902.contactmanagment.RegexOCR1}: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.os.Bundle.getString(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

I have also implemented Crashlytics for debugging as shown in the link below:
Crashlytics Results
In CreateContactActivityOCR.java:
Below are the codes that passes the intent of text output to RegexOCR1.java
private void passText(){
//Log.i(TAG, "PassText");
Intent intent = new Intent(this, RegexOCR1.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
In RegexOCR1.java:
Below are the codes that I used to receives text output and then passes in the method EmailValidator():
public class RegexOCR1 extends Activity {
private Pattern pattern;
private Matcher matcher;
private String recognizedText, textToUse;
private String mFromLang, mCurrentLang;
private static final String EMAIL_PATTERN =
"^[_A-Za-z0-9-\\+]+(\\.[_A-Za-z0-9-]+)*@"
+ "[A-Za-z0-9-]+(\\.[A-Za-z0-9]+)*(\\.[A-Za-z]{2,})$";
private static final String PHONE_PATTERN =
"^[89]\\d{7}$";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Getting the path of the image from another class
Bundle extras = this.getIntent().getExtras();
recognizedText = extras.getString("TEXT");
textToUse = recognizedText;
// Getting the language used for text recognition
mFromLang = extras.getString("LANG");
mCurrentLang = mFromLang;
//Log.i(TAG, mFromLang);
EmailValidator();
}
public String EmailValidator() {
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(EMAIL_PATTERN);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(textToUse);
if (matcher.find()) {
String email = textToUse.substring(matcher.start(), matcher.end());
} else {
// TODO handle condition when input doesn't have an email address
}
return textToUse;
}
public boolean validate(final String hex) {
matcher = pattern.matcher(hex);
return matcher.matches();
}
private void showText(){
//Log.i(TAG, "ShowText");
Intent intent = new Intent(this, CreateContactActivityOCR.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
I can't figure at which process within RegexOCR1.java does the error occurs.
According to Crashlytics, it is line 32: recognizedText = extras.getString("TEXT");
However, I have used this line in CreateContactActivityOCR.java to collect the text output from another class with no error.
