Null pointer exception between controllers on calling a method javaFX - javafx

Question

Hello I am working on a little project which javaFX, basically, I have two windows. the first one is the user account interface (Account.FXML) which allow the user to access his account and it contains an edit button that shows up the second window (edit.FXML) once is clicked. the second window allows the user to update his infos. what I want to do is to update the tableView in the first window when the user click on edit button in the second window so I am trying to call the UserDetails() metodh from the first window through communication between controllers but I get a Null pointer exception in (EditController.java) at line controller.UserDetails(); can you tell me how to fix this error ?
