NullPointerException Android Development

I am a newbie in Android but I have over 4 years experience working with Java. Though not at an advanced level. When Kotlin was announced as an official language supported by Android I didn’t really understand what the craze about it was within the Android community.

That is until I encountered my first and later on numerous NullPointerExceptions. The application that I was looking at kept on crashing and so I had to catch every block that had issues. That is the case because I didn’t have a better alternative. You can leave better ways of me solving such issues in the comments.

So my conclusion… I will definitely have a look at Kotlin because I hear it has made great advances in solving the issue.

But for now, the journey of being a master Android developer using Java continues…
