App crashing when hitting the send button? - android-fragments

Question

I would like to post data from an edit text to a database/php script and have that data automatically displayed in a list view in the same fragment as the edit text but when clicking the send button my app crashes. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

The problem is NullPointerException, so something is not initialized. Looking the code seems
that inside doInBackground you use editText, but is not initialized. Use view.findViewById to initialize it first.
