how to fix Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{.....}: java.lang.NullPointerException : <p>i.m new in android.
its app to direction of qibla. actually i have 3 classes: main, GPS servive, and RoseGPS (to rotate needle).from that main activity class i want to call a functions of other class. error appear when i add RoseGPS. help me to fix it.</p>

<p>MainActivity</p>
