I was trying to code a wifi scanner which does 20 scans but it shows NullPointerException at
if(bssid[j].equals(null)){
My code is slightly huge
package com.example.scanner;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

List<ScanResult> wifilist;
ListView list;
String wifis[];
String name;
String[] ssid = new String[100];
String[] bssid = new String[100];
int[] lvl = new int[100];
int[] count = new int[100];
@Override

scan.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
wifi=(WifiManager)getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
if (wifi.isWifiEnabled()==false){
wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);
}
wifireciever = new WifiScanReceiver();
for (int i=0;i<20;i++){
registerReceiver(wifireciever, new IntentFilter(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION));
wifi.startScan();

class WifiScanReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

ssid[j] = wifilist.get(j).SSID.toString();
bssid[j] = wifilist.get(j).BSSID.toString();
lvl[j] = wifilist.get(j).level;
count[j]++;
}
else if (bssid[j].equals(wifilist.get(j).BSSID.toString())){
lvl[j] = lvl[j] + wifilist.get(j).level;
count[j]++;
}
}
wifis = new String[a];
for (int i =0; i<a; i++){
wifis[i] = ("\n" + ssid[i] + "\n AP Address" + bssid[i] + "\n Signal Strength:" + lvl[i]/count[i]).toString();
}
list.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,wifis));
}
}
protected void onDestroy() {
unregisterReceiver(wifireciever);
super.onPause();
}
protected void onResume() {
registerReceiver(wifireciever, new IntentFilter(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION));
super.onResume();
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
NullPointerException at that point mean my array bssid isn't initialize. So I just want to know how to initialize it in main activity so that I can use that string bssid anywhere.
