private static final int CHOOSE_IMAGE = 100;

ImageView buttonmessages;

ImageView share;
ImageView backgroundd;
ImageView notverified;
Button savebt;


private TextInputEditText profilename;
TextInputEditText email;
TextInputEditText phone;
TextInputEditText password;

Uri uriProfileImage;

String profileImageUrl;

FirebaseAuth mAuth;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_profile);

    buttonmessages = findViewById(R.id.btmessages);
    backgroundd  = findViewById(R.id.upload2);
    share = findViewById(R.id.share);
    selectimage = findViewById(R.id.upload);
    notverified = findViewById(R.id.notverified);
    profilename= findViewById(R.id.um);
    email  =findViewById(R.id.proemail);
    phone = findViewById(R.id.prophone);
    password = findViewById(R.id.Propassword);
    savebt =findViewById(R.id.savebutton);



    buttonmessages.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent myIntent = new Intent(ProfileActivity.this,
                    ChatActivity.class);
            startActivity(myIntent);
        }
    });
    selectimage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            showImageChooser();
        }
    });

    backgroundd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            showImageChooser();
        }
    });

    findViewById(R.id.savebutton).setOnClickListener(new 
  View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            saveUserInformation();
        }
    });


}
private void saveUserInformation() {


    String displayName = profilename.getText().toString();

    if (displayName.isEmpty()) {
        profilename.setError("Name required");
        profilename.requestFocus();
        return;
    }

    FirebaseUser user = mAuth.getCurrentUser();

    if (user != null && profileImageUrl != null) {
        UserProfileChangeRequest profile = new 
  UserProfileChangeRequest.Builder()
                .setDisplayName(displayName)
                .setPhotoUri(Uri.parse(profileImageUrl))
                .build();

        user.updateProfile(profile)
                .addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Void>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {
                        if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                            Toast.makeText(ProfileActivity.this, "Profile 
Updated", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        }
                    }
                });
    }
}

THIS IS THE ERROR I GOT

profilename is null, check that you are inflating this view, probably you are refering an id that it is not in the layout you are inflating
