Help me understand this error

Hello guys,

I am trying to parse a simple web service in XML using the SAX parser, I am getting the following errors in Logcat

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

I have done parsing earlier successfully i am not clear tough what the error is here does this line "com.home.tut.ForecastDataHandler.endElement" something is going wrong in the endElement method

Is com.home.tut.ForecastDataHandler.endElement your code? What happens on that line? Because something there is null that you weren't expecting to be null, but we can't tell what that is without seeing the code.

Problem Solved! The service that i was parsing had duplicate tags under two different categories and since i was setting the related tags true or false based on which tag it was in, it resulted in an error. Thanks Matthew for taking interest
