You are initializing a local copy of variable theresult in onCreate:

TextView theresult = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TheResult);

But in onClick you are trying to access another instance of the variable theresult which is declared outside onCreate. This one has not been initialized yet. That's why giving its giving null when you are trying to do setText.

To solve, replace the below line:

TextView theresult = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TheResult);

with

theresult = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TheResult);
