NullPointerException on KeyListener

I'm receiving nullPointerException on start Activity and have no idea why. Can any one tell me? Maybe something is missing?

    btnLeft = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.btnLeft);
    btnLeft.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {

        public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if(event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
                JSONObject sendJSon = new JSONObject();
                try {
                    sendJSon.put("side", "1");
                    sendJSon.put("pushed", "1");
                    mConnection.sendTextMessage(sendJSon.toString());
                } catch (JSONException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            } else if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP){
                JSONObject sendJSon = new JSONObject();
                try {
                    sendJSon.put("side", "1");
                    sendJSon.put("pushed", "0");
                    mConnection.sendTextMessage(sendJSon.toString());
                } catch (JSONException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
            return true;
        }
    });

Need 

ImageButton btnLeft ;
btnLeft = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.btnLeft);

or 

ImageButton btnLeft= (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.btnLeft);

and check is name is correct in setContentView(R.layout.name);

Hope it's help

The problem is that btnLeft

btnLeft = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.btnLeft);

is not bound to your layout file. please show us the layout.xml as well as the whole onCreate method.
