java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not execute method of the activity error after changing package name

So I've developed an app, wanted to upload it to the play store, but when it said i had to change the package name different from com.example.app_name I changed it. But now I'm getting an error:

        currentLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

        if (currentLocation != null) {
            longitude = currentLocation.getLongitude();
            latitude = currentLocation.getLatitude();
        }
        EXTRA_TEXT = "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=" + latitude + "," + longitude;
    }
}

Please help, this is very important!!!!

You are getting a NullPointerException at your getGPSLocation, in your locationManager here:

if (!locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)){
    showGPSDisabledAlertToUser();
}

You should remove the re-declaration of locationManager (removing the type LocationManager) both in onCreate and in getGPSLocation:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
    locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
// Instead of: 
// LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
...
}

and 

public void getGPSLocation() {
...
    locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
// Instead of: 
// LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
...
}

BTW, you should also check for a null value of locationmanager before every

if (!locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)){

You have locationManager as class member but redeclare it inside the onCreate. This way you hide the memeber class and it is never initialized.

Then in getGpsLocation() you use it this way:

public void getGPSLocation() {
        if (!locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)){
            showGPSDisabledAlertToUser();
        }

remove LocationManager from onCreate

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        this.setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);

        locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
