mChannel.sendUserMessage(text, new BaseChannel.SendUserMessageHandler() {
@Override
public void onSent(UserMessage userMessage, SendBirdException e) {
if (e != null) {
// Error!
Log.e(LOG_TAG, e.toString());
if (getActivity() != null) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(),
"Send failed with error " + e.getCode() + ": " + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
return;
}

            // Display sent message to RecyclerView
            mChatAdapter.addFirst(userMessage);
        }
    });

Basically while I am trying to send a message a null exception is generated connection is already established could you please help me with this bug

Hi, @swati_arya - What’s the error? Any log? You can try the basic samples from Sendbird from here:

Remember you have to change the APP_ID for one of your own.
Once you have that example working, you can continue from there.

Hi
@walter.rodriguez,
I have already gone through the sample application which you have mentioned. I have used the open channel where I can successfully create the channel name. When I click on the respective values that are generated I am going to the next level of sending the message. When I click on the send message I get a null pointer exception. If I am not wrong it could be possible because it is not being able to retrieve the username. I am using currently google login where it is saving the username and Id that is being generated. The error is being generated as null pointer exception in channel i.e open channel.
I hope you could help me with the solution thanking you If possible I can send you the piece of code.

Thanks, @swati_arya
It’d be very helpful to see the piece of code and see if I can see anything that may be happening.

Hi,
@walter.rodriguez,
I have already provided you the snippet could it be possible because as I am logging in through the send bird server and google login it is not being able to retrieve the nickname while I click on the send button. I can see that in the dashboard it is the nickname I have tried to print the user name in the logcat, I think it is giving an error while I am retrieving the name from the server.
I hope you could provide me with the best solution for this.

Hi, @swati_arya

Can you provide error log?!

I guess that you have to pass the channel url argument before entering OpenChatFragment in the sample. I think you need to check whether channel url is passed successfully or not.

If you have trouble continuously, please comments error log! Thank you!
