       }
    }

This is the whole code and I got same error like previous question.

And the following details are in the error message.

I need to add the games to using the addGameButton and the save those added games and display them in the list view (gameResultsListView).
Now I can add a game and display in the list view.But when I pressed the button addGameButton I got the above error message.

If you can please give me a solution to this problem.

Answer 1

One of the references you are trying to access is null. It is on line 91 in your MainMenu.cs file. Set a breakpoint and have a look with the debugger, what is null?

I would guess that footballLeagueDatabase is null, you need to assign it an instance of type FootballLeagueDatabase.
