java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method error

[Randy_Gold]

I am getting this error whenever I try running my app. The app crashes when I press the sign up button. I am using android studio version 3.6.3 and my platform is windows 10. Here is the error screen:

'code'

Why you need to initialize your xml twice?

Since you already have setContentView(R.layout.activity_register);, so just remove this line:

 View mView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.activity_register, null);
