NullPointerException on EditText located in Dialog

Question

Here is my email_dialog.xml layout:

Answer 1

You should do this:

 final EditText txtEA = (EditText) dialog.findViewById(R.id.txtEmailAddress5);

You forgot to search for the txtEA in dialog.

Answer 2

final EditText txtEA = (EditText) dialog.findViewById(R.id.txtEmailAddress5);

You must call findViewById on dialog.
