please I need assistance with this issue. I am trying to upload files to remote server which is currently working fine. I am also able to save the users email to shared preference. But on trying to access the email in an async task. it keeps giving error of:
E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: AsyncTask #2 java.lang.RuntimeException: An error occurred while executing doInBackground() at android.os.AsyncTask$3.done(AsyncTask.java:309) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.finishCompletion(FutureTask.java:354) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.setException(FutureTask.java:223) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:242) at android.os.AsyncTask$SerialExecutor$1.run(AsyncTask.java:234) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1113) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:588) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.content.Context.getPackageName()' on a null object reference $1.doInBackground(PASSMobileAudioService.java:165) at android.os.AsyncTask$SerialExecutor$1.run(AsyncTask.java:234) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1113) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:588) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818)
