foo.setText(bar) causes NullPointerException..what am i doing wrong?
<p>I am creating an android app and needed to change the text of some textViews in one of my layouts. This is my code.</p>

<pre><code>public void hudSetup() {
    Player stats = new Player(this);
    stats.open();
    String playerName = stats.getStringField(stats.KEY_NAME);
    String playerCity = stats.getStringField(stats.KEY_CITY);
    int playerHealth = stats.getIntField(stats.KEY_HEALTH);
    int playerEnergy = stats.getIntField(stats.KEY_ENERGY);
    int playerRank= stats.getIntField(stats.KEY_RANK);
    int playerCash = stats.getIntField(stats.KEY_CASH);
    stats.close();
    name.setText(playerName);
    city.setText(playerCity);
    energy.setText(playerEnergy);
    health.setText(playerHealth);
    cash.setText(playerCash);
    rank.setText(playerRank);

}
</code></pre>

<p>I have ensured all of my textViews are initialised. The code compiles, however when i run the app and the hudSetup() method runs, I get a nullPointerException.</p>
