please provide some code of your activity. – KunalK
Please upload the code of your activity as well – Lucifer
You have NullPointerException at StartingPoint.java:17, something is assigned there to NULL. Check it out. – Simon Dorociak
The error is at line number 17 in your Java code, at com.random.stuff.StartingPoint. Null pointer exceptions can be a result of referencing wrong xml components too. Post your code for better answers. – Skynet
sorry i was getting a error when trying to add the starting point code it is there now – user2243391

You are facing NullPointerExcetion because of this line String guessDog = guess.toString();

just replace it with String guessDog;

Now get text on onClick() method as follows, 

public void onClick(View v) {
guessDog = guess.getText().toString();  // Add this line
.
.

Here is the updated code from my side, I have done few changes init

  • I removed @dimon values from .xml as it was not with me ( you can keep it in your code )
  • I removed hintp this line instead i gave direct value as true

Here is my code,

@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class StartingPoint extends Activity 
{

    Button bGuess;
    TextView points, hint, result;
    EditText guess;
    String dog = "Dog";
    String guessDog;
    int point = 0;

    boolean isDog = true;
    boolean isFrog = true;
    boolean wrong;

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

        bGuess = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bGuess);
        points = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tPoints);
        hint = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tHint);
        result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tResult);
        guess = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.eGuess);

        bGuess.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) 
            {
                guessDog = guess.toString();
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                hint.setText("Has four legs and fur");
                if (isDog) {

                    if ("dog".equals(guess.getText().toString())) {
                        wrong = false;
                        hint.setText("Has four legs and is slimy");
                    }
                } else {
                    wrong = true;
                }

                if (isFrog) {
                    if ("frog".equals(guess.getText().toString())) {
                        wrong = false;
                    }
                } else {
                    wrong = true;
                }

                if (wrong) {
                    point--;
                    result.setText("False try again");
                    points.setText("Points: " + point);
                }else{
                    point++;
                    result.setText("Correct");
                    points.setText("Points: " + point);
                }
            }
        });
    }
}
