Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.media.MediaPlayer.setLooping(boolean)' on a null object...

I have a problem that I'm at whit's end to solve:



I'm working on a program in Android Studio that essentially cycles through a list of storyboards (Like a slideshow) and I'm using a viewPager component to do so. It's sorta cool because I don't need buttons. I can just swipe (Though I'm working on setting up some)However, I'm also trying to link the "slides" in the show with sound (In this case, the storyboard audio). The issue is that the app is crashing and it's giving me some null error in logcat. This is what I've did so far . . .



I've create a slideAdapter Activity:



package com.example.******.*************;
import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

public class SlideAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

Context context;
LayoutInflater inflater;

// List of Images

public int lst_storyboard = {
R.drawable.imgmob02, R.drawable.imgmob03, R.drawable.imgmob04,
R.drawable.imgmob05, R.drawable.imgmob06, R.drawable.imgmob07,
R.drawable.imgmob08, R.drawable.imgmob09, R.drawable.imgmob010,
R.drawable.imgmob011,R.drawable.imgmob012,R.drawable.imgmob013
};

// List of mp3 raw audio

public int lst_audio_eng = {
R.raw.audio_eng_01, R.raw.audio_eng_02, R.raw.audio_eng_03,
R.raw.audio_eng_04, R.raw.audio_eng_05, R.raw.audio_eng_06,
R.raw.audio_eng_07, R.raw.audio_eng_08, R.raw.audio_eng_09,
R.raw.audio_eng_010, R.raw.audio_eng_011, R.raw.audio_eng_012
};

public SlideAdapter(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
return lst_storyboard.length;
}

@Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
return (view==(LinearLayout)object);
}

@Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_slide_adapter,container,false);
LinearLayout layoutslide = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.slidelinearlayout);
ImageView imgslide = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.slideimg);

imgslide.setImageResource(lst_storyboard[position]);


container.addView(view);
return view;
}

@Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
container.removeView((LinearLayout)object);
}

}


And this is the slideactivity.xml:



<?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"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="@+id/slidelinearlayout">

<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/slideimg"
android:contentDescription="@string/todo" />
</LinearLayout>


This is the mainActivity file:



    package com.example.******.***********;

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;

import static com.example.gman5541.childrensbookconcept2.SlideAdapter.lst_audio_eng;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private ViewPager viewPager;
private SlideAdapter myadapter;

private MediaPlayer mp;
private MediaPlayer BG;


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
myadapter = new SlideAdapter(this);
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);

viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(player);

viewPager.setAdapter(myadapter);
viewPager.setCurrentItem(0);

BG = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.audio_eng_01);
BG.setLooping(true);
BG.setVolume(100, 100);
BG.start();
mp = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this,lst_audio_eng[0]);
mp.start();
}




@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
BG.pause();
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
BG.start();
}

public ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener player = new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {

@Override
public void onPageSelected(int arg1)
{
mp = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this, lst_audio_eng[arg1]);
mp.start();
}

@Override
public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2)
{
}

@Override
public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0)
{
}
};

}


And it's xml file:



   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

android:id="@+id/viewpager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

</android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

</LinearLayout>

      Though I'm also working on having a "play" button with a "sound" switch to switch sound on and off, Right now, I'm just trying to match one list (storyboards) with another list(audio). The Program works, if I comment out the MediaPlayer lines. Please help.

      I have a problem that I'm at whit's end to solve:



      I'm working on a program in Android Studio that essentially cycles through a list of storyboards (Like a slideshow) and I'm using a viewPager component to do so. It's sorta cool because I don't need buttons. I can just swipe (Though I'm working on setting up some)However, I'm also trying to link the "slides" in the show with sound (In this case, the storyboard audio). The issue is that the app is crashing and it's giving me some null error in logcat. This is what I've did so far . . .



      I've create a slideAdapter Activity:



      package com.example.******.*************;
      import android.content.Context;
      import android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter;
      import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
      import android.os.Bundle;
      import android.view.LayoutInflater;
      import android.view.View;
      import android.view.ViewGroup;
      import android.widget.ImageView;
      import android.widget.LinearLayout;

      public class SlideAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

      Context context;
      LayoutInflater inflater;

      // List of Images

      public int lst_storyboard = {
      R.drawable.imgmob02, R.drawable.imgmob03, R.drawable.imgmob04,
      R.drawable.imgmob05, R.drawable.imgmob06, R.drawable.imgmob07,
      R.drawable.imgmob08, R.drawable.imgmob09, R.drawable.imgmob010,
      R.drawable.imgmob011,R.drawable.imgmob012,R.drawable.imgmob013
      };

      // List of mp3 raw audio

      public int lst_audio_eng = {
      R.raw.audio_eng_01, R.raw.audio_eng_02, R.raw.audio_eng_03,
      R.raw.audio_eng_04, R.raw.audio_eng_05, R.raw.audio_eng_06,
      R.raw.audio_eng_07, R.raw.audio_eng_08, R.raw.audio_eng_09,
      R.raw.audio_eng_010, R.raw.audio_eng_011, R.raw.audio_eng_012
      };

      public SlideAdapter(Context context) {
      this.context = context;
      }

      @Override
      public int getCount() {
      return lst_storyboard.length;
      }

      @Override
      public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
      return (view==(LinearLayout)object);
      }

      @Override
      public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
      inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
      View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_slide_adapter,container,false);
      LinearLayout layoutslide = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.slidelinearlayout);
      ImageView imgslide = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.slideimg);

      imgslide.setImageResource(lst_storyboard[position]);


      container.addView(view);
      return view;
      }

      @Override
      public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
      container.removeView((LinearLayout)object);
      }

      }


      And this is the slideactivity.xml:



      <?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"
      android:gravity="center"
      android:id="@+id/slidelinearlayout">

      <ImageView
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:id="@+id/slideimg"
      android:contentDescription="@string/todo" />
      </LinearLayout>


      This is the mainActivity file:



          package com.example.******.***********;

      import android.media.MediaPlayer;
      import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
      import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
      import android.os.Bundle;

      import static com.example.gman5541.childrensbookconcept2.SlideAdapter.lst_audio_eng;

      public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
      private ViewPager viewPager;
      private SlideAdapter myadapter;

      private MediaPlayer mp;
      private MediaPlayer BG;


      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      myadapter = new SlideAdapter(this);
      viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);

      viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(player);

      viewPager.setAdapter(myadapter);
      viewPager.setCurrentItem(0);

      BG = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.audio_eng_01);
      BG.setLooping(true);
      BG.setVolume(100, 100);
      BG.start();
      mp = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this,lst_audio_eng[0]);
      mp.start();
      }




      @Override
      protected void onPause() {
      super.onPause();
      BG.pause();
      }

      @Override
      protected void onResume() {
      super.onResume();
      BG.start();
      }

      public ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener player = new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {

      @Override
      public void onPageSelected(int arg1)
      {
      mp = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this, lst_audio_eng[arg1]);
      mp.start();
      }

      @Override
      public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2)
      {
      }

      @Override
      public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0)
      {
      }
      };

      }


      And it's xml file:



         <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
      <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
      xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      tools:context="com.example.gman5541.childrensbookconcept2.MainActivity">

      <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
      android:id="@+id/viewpager"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent">

      </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

      </LinearLayout>


      This is what I've got from the logcat debug:
