java.lang.NullPointerException while trying to add data to object of class in Android

Question

I am facing a silly problem. I am simply trying to add data to an object of my class, and not succeeding.

I am fetching data via an Asynchronous task inside my fragment and want to use the resulting JSON to fill my ListView. I am using an ArrayAdapter and have created a class for this purpose.

I have parsed the JSON String and now I am trying to add the data retrieved from the API to the object of my class, but it gives me 'java.lang.NullPointerException'.

I guess I am not being able to add data to the object of my class. But I fail to understand the reason, I am more used to cding in C#, but JAVA being Object_Oriented, it should be the same, right? The code being used is as below...

    JSONArray jsonArrayPendingBills = new JSONArray();
    jsonArrayPendingBills = jsonObjectPendingBills.getJSONArray(TAG_RESPONSE_MESSAGE);
    ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> arrayPendingBills = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();
    ArrayList<PendingBills> arrayClassPendingBills = new ArrayList<PendingBills>();

    for(int i = 0;i < jsonArrayPendingBills.length(); i++){
        JSONObject jsonObjectPendingBill = jsonArrayPendingBills.getJSONObject(i);

        String strDate = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_DATE);
        String strTxCode = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_TX_CODE);
        String strFromAccount = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_FROM_ACCOUNT);
        String strAmount = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_AMOUNT);
        String strDetails = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_DETAILS);
        String strBillCode = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_BILL_CODE);

        PendingBills objPendingBills = new PendingBills();
        objPendingBills.setBillAmount(strAmount);
        objPendingBills.setBillDate(strDate);
        objPendingBills.setBillName(strFromAccount);
        //arrayClassPendingBills.add(new PendingBills(strAmount, strDate, strFromAccount));
        arrayClassPendingBills.add(objPendingBills);
    }

    PendingBillsAdapter pendingBillsAdapter = new PendingBillsAdapter(getActivity(), R.layout.pending_bills_list_view_row, arrayClassPendingBills);
    listViewPendingBills.setAdapter(pendingBillsAdapter);

    progressDialogPendingBills.dismiss();
}
catch (Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
    Log.i("Error", "Error", e);
}

This is the code for my class:

public class PendingBills {

    // Declaring the strings for the class
    public String BillAmount;
    public String BillDate;
    public String BillName;

    // Writing down the constructor for this class  
    public PendingBills(String BillAmount, String BillDate, String BillName){
        this.BillAmount = BillAmount;
        this.BillDate = BillDate;
        this.BillName = BillName;
    }

    public PendingBills(){

    }

    // Getter for BillAmount
    public String getBillAmount(){
        return BillAmount;
    }

    // Setter for BillAmount
    public void setBillAmount(String BillAmount){
        this.BillAmount = BillAmount;
    }

    public String getBillDate(){
        return BillDate;
    }

    public void setBillDate(String BillDate){
        this.BillDate = BillDate;
    }

    public String getBillName(){
        return BillName;
    }

    public void setBillName(String BillName){
        this.BillName = BillName;
    }

}

I think I am missing something. I am not sure what? I have looked up a few questions on StackOverflow relating to this. I found many of them, but the solutions did not work for me.

Try this..

inflate your layout like below codes. context.getSystemService or this

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService( Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE );

or

LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);

- add try & Catch to handle nullPointerException & any Exceptions 
- Make trace the code to find where made excption.
- add system.out.Println to print the values then they find the exception

try{
JSONArray jsonArrayPendingBills = new JSONArray(); jsonArrayPendingBills = jsonObjectPendingBills.getJSONArray(TAG_RESPONSE_MESSAGE); ArrayList> arrayPendingBills = new ArrayList>(); ArrayList arrayClassPendingBills = new ArrayList();

    for(int i = 0;i < jsonArrayPendingBills.length(); i++){
        JSONObject jsonObjectPendingBill = jsonArrayPendingBills.getJSONObject(i);

        String strDate = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_DATE);
        String strTxCode = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_TX_CODE);
        String strFromAccount = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_FROM_ACCOUNT);
        String strAmount = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_AMOUNT);
        String strDetails = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_DETAILS);
        String strBillCode = jsonObjectPendingBill.getString(TAG_PENDING_BILLS_BILL_CODE);

        PendingBills objPendingBills = new PendingBills();
        objPendingBills.setBillAmount(strAmount);
        objPendingBills.setBillDate(strDate);
        objPendingBills.setBillName(strFromAccount);
        //arrayClassPendingBills.add(new PendingBills(strAmount, strDate, strFromAccount));
        arrayClassPendingBills.add(objPendingBills);
    }
  PendingBillsAdapter pendingBillsAdapter = new PendingBillsAdapter(getActivity(),        
R.layout.pending_bills_list_view_row, arrayClassPendingBills);
    listViewPendingBills.setAdapter(pendingBillsAdapter);

    progressDialogPendingBills.dismiss();
}catch ( NullPointerException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
 Log.i("Error", "Error", e);
}
catch (Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
    Log.i("Error", "Error", e);
}
