Well, my program keeps giveing me a null point exception and I don’t know why? I know it has something to do with the lvl variable, but I don’t know what? What can I do to fix this problem?

Check if the button with id “setLevel” is in your main.xml. If it is somewhere else, you can not find it like this:
But you need an inflater.
