Trying to display longitude and latitude in textViews

0

android

android-location

I'm trying to display both the longitude and latitude in seperate textviews after the user presses
the get location button. All code seems ok to me but am getting null pointer exceptions. I do not
want to do anything when the location is changed only when the user presses the button.
package com.seanhannon.fyp;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class FYPActivity extends Activity {
public Button getLocation;
public TextView LongCoord;
public TextView LatCoord;
public double longitude;
public double latitude;

The XML file is the usual with permissions for fine and coarse location etc.
Here is the Logcat output

This is your peace of code

getLocation = (Button)getLocation.findViewById(R.id.GetLocation);
LongCoord = (TextView)LongCoord.findViewById(R.id.longCoord);
LatCoord = (TextView)LatCoord.findViewById(R.id.LatCoord);

change it with below code

getLocation = (Button)findViewById(R.id.GetLocation);
LongCoord = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.longCoord);
LatCoord = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.LatCoord);

it will remove null pointer exception...
