Question

I can´t figure out why this Integer.parseInt makes an exception, its a NullpointerException..

try
{
    int numberOfPictures = Integer.parseInt(editTextNumberOfGames
                        .getText().toString()); 
    Toast toast =Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "ratt", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT); 
                toast.show();
} catch (Exception e)
{
    Toast toast =Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "fel", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT); 
                toast.show();
}

Answer 1

It throws an expecption because editTextNumberOfGames is null

initialize editTextNumberOfGames correctly, or if for whatever reason you cannot garuantee, that it is initialized then

int numberOfPictures;
if (editTextNumberOfGames != null) {
   numberOfPictures = Integer.parseInt(editTextNumberOfGames.getText());
}
