Getting " Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Listener must not be null" when using fusedLocationProviderClient.requestLocationUpdates

aryan saraf :

This is the second activity of the app. I have already asked for permission to access location in the first activity.This is the error:

This is the code of the onCreate() method and I am getting the error in the last line. The locationCallback has been initialized in onMapReady() method.

 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
    // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
    SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
    fusedLocationProviderClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(MapsActivity.this);
    locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
    locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
    locationRequest.setInterval(5000);
    fusedLocationProviderClient.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest,locationCallback,Looper.getMainLooper());

Cauê Jannini :

Are you initializing your locationCallback anywhere in your code? You should initialize this object before passing it to "requestLocationUpdates". For example, like this:

    locationCallback = new LocationCallback(){
            @Override
            public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
                super.onLocationResult(locationResult);

                // Do something with locationResult
            }
        };
