i got some problems with my history listview.
on logcat it stated the cause of the problem is new_item.

this is my code

c.mDbHelper.fetchAllNotes();
    Item new_item;    
for (i=0; i<c.getCount(); i++) {

    new_item.set(c.getString(1), c.getString(2), c.getInt(4), Uri.parse(c.getString(5)));
    item.add(new_item);
    c.moveToNext();
}

Item is a class I made. this is the set() method.

public void set(String name, String code, int qty, Uri imageuri){
    this.name = name;
    this.code = code;
    this.qty = qty;
    this.imageuri = imageuri;
}

this is my logcat

    Do you need to initialize new_item, i.e. (line 3 below)

    c.mDbHelper.fetchAllNotes();
Item new_item;  // <-- Add this (thx jack57)
for (i=0; i<c.getCount(); i++) {
 new_item = new Item();    // <-- Initialize here to prevent NullPointerException
 new_item.set(c.getString(1), c.getString(2), c.getInt(4), Uri.parse(c.getString(5)));
 c.moveToNext();
}

    And you might want to use the Item object somewhere. Here it seems it is lost after the loop go to next i value.
