Android Studio : Attempt to invoke virtual method 'Post.getPostimage()' on a null object r-CodePudding

 private void getPostImage(final ImageView imageView, String postid){
        DatabaseReference reference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("posts").child(postid);
        reference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                Post post = dataSnapshot.getValue(Post.class);
              Glide.with(mContext.getApplicationContext()).load(post.getPostimage()).into(imageView);
            }

            @Override
            public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {

            }
        });
    }

I'm getting an error that points to this line:

Glide.with(mContext.getApplicationContext()).load(post.getPostimage()).into(imageView);

Here is the error:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

I tried debugging the app to locate the null value, but everything seemed fine. There is no null value in this line. How can I fix this issue?

CodePudding user response：

Value of Post in your NotificationAdapter is null

please Change

Glide.with(mContext.getApplicationContext()).load(post.getPostimage()).into(imageView);

if(post != null) {
    Glide.with(mContext.getApplicationContext()).load(post.getPostimage()).into(imageView);   
}
