I have two spinners, one with a list of countries(countrySpinner) and the other with a list of provinces(stateSpinner). I want the stateSpinner to be active only if Nigeria is selected on the countrySpinner, and for the other countries on to be selectable without selecting item on the stateSpinner. My code seam to work when I select Nigerian on the countrySpinner and a corresponding state, but I GET THIS NullPointerException : println needs a message, anytime I select a country other than Nigeria on the countrySpinner. Not quite sure of what to do to get pass here. I Would appreciate any help. My code below.enter code here
