Error on changing button's text color to default?

Question

I have a button with set color code:

buttonClicked.setTextColor(Color.GRAY);

Now when I finish my timer, the text of all buttons reset to something else, so I need that text to go back to default. I tried this but I get error (i placed a comment near the end of my code for that error):

final OnClickListener clickListener = new OnClickListener() {

            private Button buttonClicked;
            private int brojacKlikova = 0;

            public void onClick(View v) {
                brojacKlikova++;
                if (brojacKlikova < 16) {

                Button button = (Button) v;
                button.getBackground().setColorFilter(new LightingColorFilter(0xFFFFFFFF, 0x003333));

                if (buttonClicked == null) {
                    // first button is clicked
                    buttonClicked = button;
                } else {
                    // second button is clicked
                    if (buttonClicked.getTag().equals(button.getTag())) {
                        button.getBackground().setColorFilter(new LightingColorFilter(0xFFFFFFFF, 0x66FF33));
                        buttonClicked.getBackground().setColorFilter(new LightingColorFilter(0xFFFFFFFF, 0x66FF33));
                        buttonClicked.setEnabled(false);
                        button.setEnabled(false);
                        counter = counter + 5;
                        score.setText("Poeni: " + counter);
                    } else {
                        buttonClicked.setEnabled(false);
                        buttonClicked.setTextColor(Color.GRAY);
                        buttonClicked.getBackground().setColorFilter(new LightingColorFilter(0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFCC99));
                        button.getBackground().clearColorFilter();
                    }
                    buttonClicked = null;
                }
                }else{
                buttonClicked = null;
                buttonClicked.setTextColor(Color.WHITE); //<--- here I get error
                brojacKlikova = 0;
                brojacVremena.cancel();
                mHandler.postDelayed(mLaunchTask,2200);
         }
            }
     };

Answer 1

buttonClicked = null;
buttonClicked.setTextColor(Color.WHITE); 

Problem is here. You are assigned button to NULL and then you call property on it. This always throw NPE. Solution is to remove first line and it should work.
