com.android.volley.VolleyError：java.lang.NullPointerException

What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it? Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int Java. Lang. string. Length()' on a null object reference there are still some, but I have no luck to fix it

This is the error I received from the volley error listener-

Com. Android. Volley. Volleyerror: Java. Lang. NullPointerException: try to call the virtual method 'int Java. Lang. string. Length()' on an empty object reference

I'm a novice on Android. Can someone explain the reason of my problem to me and help me solve it?

The following is the activity code for issuing the interception request-

The web service is running

resolvent:

This means that you are trying to get the length () of a null string

The culprit is this line:

if (response != null || response.length() > 0) {

This means that if the response is not null or the length is greater than zero

What you want is:

if (response != null && response.length() > 0) {

If the response is null, the statement will fail because if it is null, the length cannot be checked
