I am trying to retrieve data from Parse.com. I have one object called `Shop_ratings` and one object called `Shop`.
The first one has a pointer called `name` that points to the `name` field of the second one.
I want, to take info from both `Shop` and `Shop_Ratings` objects.

The conditions are to choose rows from `Shop_Ratings` that has as pointer in `username` attribute the one as the Current User's and I want to take info from `Shop`'s rows that has the same `name` pointer , which means that they both represent the same Shop.

PROBLEM:
The problem is that this line: rate.getParseObject("name"); returns null, so I can't continue and retrieve any data from the object that this attribute points to.
So if i try to do this: shop.getObjectId(); without the if (shop==null) it throws a NullPointerException

This is my Logcat from the start of the application launch in my phone till right after I click the button to do the things below in my code:

This is my whole code of the fragment's onCreateView:

            convertView = getLayoutInflater(savedInstanceState).inflate(R.layout.fragment_userpreviousratings, container, false);

            //check for wi-fi or 3G
            if (isConnected() == null || isConnected().isEmpty() || isConnected().equals("No Connection")) {
                Intent intentVibrate = new Intent(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), VibrateService.class);
                getActivity().startService(intentVibrate);

                String text = "Please enable your Wi-fi or 3G connection, close completely the application and re-open the application!";
                int duration = Toast.LENGTH_LONG;
                Toast.makeText(this.getActivity().getApplicationContext(), (CharSequence) text, duration).show();

                    getActivity().startService(intentVibrate);

                    String text = "The application is going to use the 3G connection(Extra cost)! Prefer Wi-Fi connection if it is possible! - Close completely the application and re-open it!";
