java.lang.NullPointerException Error While trying to get Location

I am trying to make an application that takes the location and sends that data, everything was fine till 10 min ago. Now I got an error and I couldn't find what it is. Any help, thank you...

Some of my codes below...

...
...
     Location mCurrentLocation;

private final static int
        CONNECTION_FAILURE_RESOLUTION_REQUEST = 9000;
LocationClient mLocationClient;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    b.setOnClickListener(this);
    /*
     * Create a new location client, using the enclosing class to
     * handle callbacks.
     */
    mLocationClient = new LocationClient(this, this, this);
}



...
...


    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
         mCurrentLocation = mLocationClient.getLastLocation();
        tv.setText("slm"+mCurrentLocation.getLatitude());
    }

And the error I get is ...

Check for null before you set the locations latitude in the TextView. You can't be sure that getLastLocation() returns a valid location Object immediatly because it's a non-blocking call.

@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
     mCurrentLocation = mLocationClient.getLastLocation();
    if(mCurrentLocation != null)
        tv.setText("slm"+mCurrentLocation.getLatitude());
}
