My web service should be returning an integer, but every time i run the code i get the NullPointerException error. Any ideas or help would be very appreciated
Here's my code:
public class CGCountTest extends Activity {
TextView testTV;
private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://passport-america.com/webservices/";
private static final String URL = "http://localhost:11746/Service1.asmx";
private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://www.passport-america.com/webservices/getCGCount";
private static final String METHOD_NAME = "getCGCount";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.soap_test);
      SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope =
            new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
            envelope.dotNet = true;
            envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
            HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
            try {
                androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
                java.lang.Integer result = (Integer)envelope.getResponse();
                TextView testTV = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.testTV);
                result.toString();
                testTV.setText(result);
            }
            catch(Exception e)
            {
                testTV.setText(e.getMessage());
            }
}
here's the logcat
