Check the view ID is same as you defined in the layout.xml file while initializing it in your context.

I think that you must initialize your TextView.

If you are in activity, put below code in the onCreate method.

TextView myTextView = findViewById(R.id.your_text_view_id);

Or if you are in Fragment, then in onCreateView insert this line:

TextView myTextView = view.findViewById(R.id.text_view_id);
