Error with ArrayAdapter

Below is my code, just trying to display items on a list view but it is giving me null pointer exception. Any ideas? I am just combining 2 strings in the final array and the log cat is pointing to the line with the arrayAdapter at the end.

package com.example.forecastspending;

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TabHost.TabSpec;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ListView;  
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.content.SharedPreferences.Editor;
import android.graphics.Color;

public class SavingsForecastActivity extends MainActivity {

ListView recurrenceListView;
Button add_btn;
EditText reccurenceEntry_et;
EditText reccurenceExplanation_et;

// Double[] comparisonArray = new Double[8];
int reccurenceCounter;

String[] reccurenceArray = new String[30];
String[] reccurenceExpArray = new String[30];
String[] finalDisplayArray = new String[30];

private ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.forecast);

        ListView recurrenceListView = (ListView) findViewById( R.id.recurrenceListView );
        reccurenceEntry_et = (EditText) findViewById( R.id.reccurenceEntry_et );
        reccurenceExplanation_et = (EditText) findViewById( R.id.reccurenceExplanation_et );

        Button add_btn = (Button) findViewById( R.id.add_btn);

        add_btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                addRecurrence();
                //calculateMovingAverage();                 
            }
        });

}

    public void addRecurrence(){

        SharedPreferences pref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("MyPref", 0); // 0         - for private mode
         Editor editor = pref.edit();

         // brings it in from activity 2
         // Double bankBalanceMainAct = Double.parseDouble(pref.getString("bankBalance","0"));

         int reccurenceCounter = pref.getInt("rCount",0);

        double reccurenceInput = Double.valueOf(reccurenceEntry_et.getText().toString());
        String rExpInput = reccurenceExplanation_et.getText().toString();

        editor.putString("rInput",reccurenceInput+"");
        editor.commit();
        String rInput = pref.getString("rInput","0");

        //adds the new cost to the reccurence array to dispaly for user
        reccurenceArray[reccurenceCounter] = rInput;
        //reccurenceExpArray[reccurenceCounter] = rExpInput;
        finalDisplayArray[reccurenceCounter] = rInput + "" +rExpInput;

        reccurenceCounter = reccurenceCounter + 1;
        editor.putInt("rCount",reccurenceCounter);
        editor.commit();

        for(int i = 0; i < finalDisplayArray.length; i++){
                finalDisplayArray[i] = "0";             
        }

        arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,   finalDisplayArray);
        recurrenceListView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);

    }

}

Use 

recurrenceListView = (ListView) findViewById( R.id.recurrenceListView );

instead of

ListView recurrenceListView = (ListView) findViewById( R.id.recurrenceListView );

because in onCreate you are new instance of ListView instead of initializing recurrenceListView which you are creating before onCreate.
