Android Studio: setOnDateChangeListener not working

I have looked through many websites, and even youtube videos and none of them work. i keep getting the same error. Everything works until i start using the setOnDateChangeListener command. it is honestly very stressfull.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    CalendarView calendarView;
    TextView myDate;

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

        calendarView = (CalendarView) findViewById(R.id.calendarView);
        myDate = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myDate);


        calendarView.setOnDateChangeListener(new CalendarView.OnDateChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onSelectedDayChange(@NonNull CalendarView view, int year, int month, int dayOfMonth) {
                String date = (month + 1) + "/" + dayOfMonth + "/" + year;
                myDate.setText(date);
            }
        });

    }
}

And these are the errors i get

You're getting a NullPointerException which means that your calendar is not initialized thus getting the exception when trying to call a method on a null object.

Make sure that R.id.calendarView is indeed the correct id of the calendar view. Check again activity_main.xml for that id.
