Android - starting new Activity (java.lang.NullPointerException)

good morning, I was trying the SharedPreferences Class and I have created two classes, "TestingActivity", extending android.app.Activity and AccountSettings with two static functions to set and recover a KEY from SharedPreferences.

I am having this error while running Intent from the main activity:

Im starting the activity from the main Activity launcher with this code:

Intent intent= new Intent(this,TestingActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);</i>

The Activity Class is real simple and it's the following: package es.LandeSoft;

  import es.LandeSoft.R;
    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.Gravity;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
    import android.widget.Button;
    import android.widget.EditText;
    import android.widget.TextView;
    import android.widget.Toast;

    public class TestingActivity extends Activity {

    TextView lblDatos=null;
    EditText DatosAGuardar =null;

     @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 

        Button botonGuardar = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnGuardar);
        Button botonRecuperar = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnRecuperar);
        lblDatos = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
         DatosAGuardar= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtPref);

        botonGuardar.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {         
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {               
                 AccountSettings.SavePassword(getApplicationContext(),"PASSWORD_APP",DatosAGuardar.getText().toString());
                ShowToast("Se ha guardado el password: " + DatosAGuardar.getText().toString() , 2500);
            }
        });

        botonRecuperar.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                String clave= AccountSettings.GetPassword(getApplicationContext(), "PASSWORD_APP");
                lblDatos.setText(clave);
                ShowToast("Clave Recuperada: " + clave,2000);

            }
        });

    }

     private void ShowToast(String MessageT, int Duracion)
     {
            Toast miTostada= new Toast(getApplicationContext());
            miTostada.setText(MessageT);
            miTostada.setDuration(Duracion);
            miTostada.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER,0,0);
            miTostada.show();

     }
}


**The AccountSettings.java is the following:**

    package es.LandeSoft;

    import android.content.Context;
    import android.content.SharedPreferences;
    import android.content.SharedPreferences.Editor;

    public class AccountSettings {


    public static String GetPassword (Context Contexto, String Key)
    {   
        SharedPreferences savedSession=        Contexto.getSharedPreferences(Key,Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        return  savedSession.getString(Key, null);      
    }

    public static void SavePassword(Context context, String Key, String Value)
    {
        Editor editor = context.getSharedPreferences(Key,Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
                editor.putString(Key, Value);           

    }


}

The TestingActivity XML is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextViewInfo"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/TextViewInfo_Text" />


    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/txtPref"
        android:inputType="text"        
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnGuardar"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/btn_guardar" />

     <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnRecuperar"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/btn_recuperar" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        />

</LinearLayout>

and The Android Manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="es.LandeSoft"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" /> 
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>



    <application android:label="@string/app_name"
                 android:debuggable="true" 
                 android:icon="@drawable/landesofticon">
                 <activity android:name="es.LandeSoft.LandeSoftActivity"
                    android:label="@string/app_name">                   

                    <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                    </intent-filter>
                </activity>

                 <activity android:name="es.LandeSoft.FacebookClass"></activity>
                 <activity android:name="es.LandeSoft.TestingActivity"></activity>

    </application>
</manifest>

I dont understand why the OnCreate Method is crashing, can someone give me a clue? Thanks in advance!

I cannot see your R.layout.main for your layout or your TestingActivity.xml being called. Check for that

you are missing setContentView(R.layout.) in onCreate method. replace with the one you have.

Yes Rashmi.B is right I also could not find the setContentView(R.layout.TestingActivity);.Add the line in ur onCreate() method and again run the code.

setContentView(R.layout.main); is not dispaly in your TestingActivity.class file. If it is not added please add this.
