I ran into a problem when trying to parse XML from a URL in the method doInBackground of class AsyncTask. What is most interesting before it worked but after some of my changes (now parses the link). I checked – the link nourish correct XML. The parser parses the response links at some point, but generates a fatal error. I hope very much for your help.

//analized DB & create var arrays with info about markers
        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void ... param) {

            setButtonsClickListener();

            needShowLocation = 
                saxParserGetLocationRate.getIdAndRate(myLocationLatitudeDouble, myLocationLongitudeDouble);

        createArrayMarkersPlace();

        return null;
    }

You’re adding objects to needShowLoactionId and needShowLoactionRate when they are null. In startElement:

needShowLoactionId.add(q);
...
needShowLoactionRate.add(Float.valueOf((atmosphearRating + peoplemeterRating)/2));

The stack-trace shows the Exception cause is a NullPointerException, occuring in SAXParserGetLocationRate$1.startElement (on line 54). (The “$1” means the startElement method occurs in the first anonymous inner class inside SAXParseGetLocationRate–in this case DefaultHandler.)

To fix this, change these lines:

private ArrayList<Integer> needShowLoactionId;
private ArrayList<Float> needShowLoactionRate;

… to something like this:

private ArrayList<Integer> needShowLoactionId = new ArrayList<Integer>();
private ArrayList<Float> needShowLoactionRate = new ArrayList<Float>();
