I am trying to get the distance between two places my origin place latitudes and longitudes are hard coded in the program and the destination latitudes and longitudes are retrieved by geocoding the user entry in the search box
But when i click the button which executes onClick() method in MapsActivity.java the following error is showed:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int java.lang.String.length()' on a null object reference
