Animation Drawable - null object reference

WelcomeToTheDarkSide :

I am having problems with my Animation drawable. It is telling me it's pointing to a null object reference, but i'm pretty sure that it isn't. How do I fix that?

Any help would be very helpful at this point! thank you!

public class PlayingScreen extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {

int notLike_Liked = 1;
int Pause_Play = 1;
SeekBar seekBar;
ImageView back,pause,next,notLikes;
TextView text_fixed,text_plus;
ConstraintLayout playing_screen;
AnimationDrawable animationDrawable;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_playing_screen);

    playing_screen = findViewById(R.id.playing_screen);
    notLikes = findViewById(R.id.notLikes);
    text_fixed = findViewById(R.id.text_fixed);
    text_plus = findViewById(R.id.text_plus);
    seekBar = findViewById(R.id.seekBar);
    back = findViewById(R.id.back);
    pause = findViewById(R.id.pause);
    next = findViewById(R.id.next);

    //setting of click listeners ofr buttons
    notLikes.setOnClickListener(this);
    seekBar.setOnClickListener(this);
    back.setOnClickListener(this);
    pause.setOnClickListener(this);
    next.setOnClickListener(this);

    StateListDrawable background = (StateListDrawable) playing_screen.getBackground();
    Drawable current = background.getCurrent();
    if(current instanceof AnimationDrawable){
        animationDrawable =(AnimationDrawable) current;
        animationDrawable.setEnterFadeDuration(5000);
        animationDrawable.setExitFadeDuration(5000);
        animationDrawable.start();
    }

}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if(animationDrawable != null && animationDrawable.isRunning()){
        animationDrawable.start();

    }
}

Try this below code

 Drawable current=playing_screen.getBackground();
 if (current instanceof AnimationDrawable) {
  animationDrawable=current;
  animationDrawable.setEnterFadeDuration(4000);
  animationDrawable.setExitFadeDuration(4000);
  animationDrawable.start();
  }
}
