I’m getting this NullPointerException for no reason. I am trying to send accelerometer ‘x’ value to MCU which is connected to my phone by bluetooth. Everything seems to be fine until it starts to send bytes.
MainActivity.class:
private void getAccelerometer(SensorEvent event) {
float[] values = event.values;
// Movement
float x = values[0];
float y = values[1];
float z = values[2];
// Convert float value to integer for progress bars because
// they dont't support float value
int mProgressStatus_x = (int)x;
int mProgressStatus_y = (int)y;
int mProgressStatus_z = (int)z;
// Set converted x, y and z values to progress bars
// Add to each progress bar value 10 because progress bar dosen't support negative value
mProgressBar_x.setProgress(mProgressStatus_x + 10);
mProgressBar_y.setProgress(mProgressStatus_y + 10);
mProgressBar_z.setProgress(mProgressStatus_z + 10);
mX = Float.toString(x);
SendBytes(mX);
}
private void SendBytes (String mX) {
if (mConnectionStatus == 1 && mX != null) {
// mX is the accelerometer value which is converted to the String
byte[] out = mX.getBytes();
// mBluetoothService is BluetoothService.java
mBluetoothService.write(out); // Line 150
}
}
BluetoothService.class:
public synchronized void connected(BluetoothSocket socket, BluetoothDevice device) {
// Cancel the thread that completed the connection
if (mConnectThread != null) {mConnectThread.cancel(); mConnectThread = null; }
// Cancel the ConnectedThread to make sure that it's not running currently connection
if (mConnectedThread != null) {mConnectedThread.cancel(); mConnectedThread = null;}
// Start the ConnectedThread to manage connection and perform transmission
mConnectedThread = new ConnectedThread(socket);
mConnectedThread.start();
// Send the name of the connected device back to the UI Activity
Message msg = mHandler.obtainMessage(MainActivity.MESSAGE_DEVICE_NAME);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(MainActivity.DEVICE_NAME, device.getName());
msg.setData(bundle);
mHandler.sendMessage(msg);
// Set state of connection to STATE_CONNECTED
setState(STATE_CONNECTED);
mmConnectionStatus = 1;
System.out.println("State connected");
}
public void write(byte[] out) {
ConnectedThread r;
// Synchronize a copy of the ConnectedThread
synchronized (this) {
r = mConnectedThread;
}
if(out != null){
r.write(out); } // Line 133
}
private class ConnectedThread extends Thread {
private final BluetoothSocket mmSocket;
private final InputStream mmInStream;
private final OutputStream mmOutStream;
// Thread for managing connection
public ConnectedThread(BluetoothSocket socket) {
System.out.println("ConnectedThread started");
mmSocket = socket;
InputStream tmpIn = null;
OutputStream tmpOut = null;
try { // Get the input and output streams, using temp objects because
// member streams are final
tmpIn = socket.getInputStream();
tmpOut = socket.getOutputStream();
System.out.println("creating socket");
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("tmp socket not created");
}
mmInStream = tmpIn;
mmOutStream = tmpOut;
}
public void run() {
System.out.println("ConnectedThread status" + mConnectedThread);
// Buffer store for the stream
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
// Bytes returned from the read()
int bytesIn;
// Keep listening until an occurs
while(true) {
try {
bytesIn = mmInStream.read(buffer);
} catch (IOException e) {
break;
}
}
}
// Call this from the MainActivity to send data to the remote device
public void write(byte[] bytes) {
System.out.println(bytes);
if(mState == STATE_CONNECTED && bytes != null){
try {
mmOutStream.write(bytes);
mmOutStream.flush();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Exception during write" + e);
}
}
}
// Call this from the MainActivity to shutdown the connection
public void cancel() {
try {
mmSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {}
}

There’s a very clear reason.
You are leaking an IntentReceiver. When an event is routed to the Receiver (because you didn’t unregister it) most likely after the activity is paused/destroyed, it throws a NullPointerException somewhere because it has lost all the context references, or they are not valid anymore.
