Could not execute method of Activity

Well I have set of buttons and their onClick property is "click" like this android:onClick="click". I am running this in android 2.2

Here's the click function in the main activity. This function is outside the onCreate method as expected.

public void click(View v)
{
    String s = et2.getText().toString();

    switch(v.getId())
    {
        case R.id.b0 :      
            if(s.length() == 1 && s.charAt(0) == '0')
            {  
                et2.setText("0");
                et1.setText("0");
            }
            else
            {
                s = s + "0";
                call(s);
            }
        break;
        //Other cases
    }
}

The problem is whenever I click any button, the app stops working (Force Close).

Here's the Log:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException, Usually, this means your staff is not initialized yet. Check the code around Line 63.

Check if your et2 is inicialized. If you are using findViewById() please check if you do that after the setContent().

Try changing the code on line 63 into two separate lines, like this.

String s; //you should probably change s to something less common like calS or the like
s = et2.getText().toString();

I think another thing that could be the problem is that et2 was never initialized. Make sure you have initialized et2.
