So my code has been working fine, and I was added some extra functionality to the GUI, and now all of the sudden I’m getting a null pointer exception. I can’t figure out what I could have changed to make this happen. I have dumbed down the code to where the error is.

I wish you had posted the whole class… we don’t know if you have cut out the cause or not… for example, a possible reason;
Is
stateBluetoothdeclared as a class variable or a local variable? If you slipped.and created it int the onCreate, that could be why you get an NPE in the other method.
