new to Android Studio, and I thought I was doing okay, but ran into an error last night that I just can't seem to fix despite all my best googling efforts. A button on one of my activities 'may produce java.lang.NullPointerException', except it keeps failing every time it's pushed. It may just be something as simple as ordering a line of code in the wrong place etc, but I'm so new to Android studio I don't really know where I'm going wrong.
public class searchPage extends AppCompatActivity {
private GoogleApiClient client;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_search_page);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
Button goBackButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.goBackButton);
goBackButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new Intent(searchPage.this, MainActivity.class));
}
});
Here's the XML
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="New Button"
android:id="@+id/goBackButton"
android:layout_marginTop="88dp"
android:layout_below="@+id/spinner4"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
/>
And the Manifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.onein.mobilefinalapp">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"

android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity

android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">

</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity

android:label="@string/title_activity_search_page"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" />
<activity

android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"></activity>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
</application>
</manifest>
Here's the activity_search_page.xml
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<include layout="@layout/content_search_page" />
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
android:src="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
If you need any other information, please let me know.
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks.
EDIT - removed duplicate button, and adding in activity_search_page.xml
