null object reference error on my userId

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method ‘java.lang.String com.backendless.BackendlessUser.getUserId()’ on a null object reference

Hi Nomfundo

looks like you try to get userId of undefined user, don’t you?
could you try this

if(Backendless.UserService.CurrentUser() != null)

   String userId = Backendless.UserService.CurrentUser().getUserId()

Regards, Vlad

Hello Nomfundo,

please share your APP ID and the part of code to reproduce this issue. What are you doing before this part of code?

String whereClause = "ownerId = '" + Backendless.UserService.CurrentUser().getProperty("objectId")+"'";
