I make an app on beacon using mobstac sdk. I am making an database when an user go into the outlet then it shows the outlet name in which beacon is present.When i run my app it show an nullpointerexception what to do ?

BeaconAdapter.java

Java
public class BeaconAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

       private ArrayList<msbeacon> beacons;

           super();
           beacons = arr;
           ctx = c;
           myInflator = (LayoutInflater) c.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
       }

       public void addBeacon(MSBeacon beacon) {
           if(!beacons.contains(beacon)) {
               beacons.add(beacon);
           }
       }

       public void removeBeacon(MSBeacon beacon) {
           if(beacons.contains(beacon)) {
               beacons.remove(beacon);
           }
       }

           if (view == null) {
               view = myInflator.inflate(R.layout.beacon_view, parent, false);
           }
           MSBeacon beacon = beacons.get(position);

           TextView name = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.device_name);
           name.setText(beacon.getBeaconUUID().toString());

           TextView key = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.device_address);
           key.setText("Major: " + beacon.getMajor() + "\t\t\t Minor: " + beacon.getMinor() +

Use the debugger and inspect all object which are supposed to be not null...

Based on the stack-track in your comments, you've passed a null value to the getAllTables method, which then attempts to call a method on that MSBeacon instance.

Looking at your code, the error appears to be in the following lines within your MainActivity's onCreate method:
Java
Log.d("Table Count", "Table Count: " + db.getAllTables(null).size());
...
List<table> allTables = db.getAllTables(null);
</table>


But you could have found and fixed that error yourself by using the debugger!

I changed in databasehelper.java file in getalltables method make field beacon instead of parameter in getalltables. remove null from getalltables in MainActivity.java file but shows same error after run app in Mobile shows The app has Stopped

If it's showing the same error, then you haven't fixed your code.

Use the debugger to step through the code and find the thing that's null when you don't expect it to be. Then go back and work out why it's null.
