I am getting this problem.

Process: com.csing1s.myapplication, PID: 7024 java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean[] android.os.Bundle.getBooleanArray(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

Code is here

     mCheckBoxes = new CheckBox[contents.length];
        boolean[] checkedBoxex = new boolean[mCheckBoxes.length];
        if(savedInstanceState != null && savedInstanceState.getBooleanArray(KEY_CHECKED_BOXEX)!=null);
        {
            checkedBoxex = savedInstanceState.getBooleanArray(KEY_CHECKED_BOXEX);

        }
            setupCheckBoxes(contents,linearLayout,checkedBoxex);

        return view;

    }
    private void setupCheckBoxes(String[] contents, ViewGroup container, boolean[] checkedBoxex) {
        for (String in : contents) {
            int i = 0;
            mCheckBoxes[i] = new CheckBox(getActivity());
            mCheckBoxes[i].setPadding(8, 16, 8, 16);
            mCheckBoxes[i].setTextSize(20f);
            mCheckBoxes[i].setText(in);
            container.addView(mCheckBoxes[i]);
            if (checkedBoxex[i]) {
                mCheckBoxes[i].toggle();
            }

            i++;
        }

You have a semicolon at the end of your if statement my friend.

Posts on Treehouse don't close when they get to a certain 'age.'

Students are more than welcome (and encouraged) to add their comments or solutions on posts that are any "age." Otherwise, Treehouse would be designed to prevent posting after a certain time period.

I, myself, have added to posts that are upwards of a year old or more. This is what Treehouse is about. Adding to posts (regardless of how old they are) adds to and enhances the Treehouse learning experience. It also provide more information for students that happen across an older post.

I'm sorry if you find this an annoyance, but adding to any post is encouraged.

Edit: If you don't wish to receive notifications when someone adds to a post that you have participated in, you can click the "Unfollow Discussion" in the upper-right corner of the post, and you will no longer receive any notifications of added postings.

I can't read your code correctly, do ``` (three backticks, above the escape button) so I could see it better.

First, I edited your post include markdown so the code can be properly read in the forums. Please see the Markdown Cheatsheet to see how to post code.

As for your error,

I would double check the spelling and naming... some are checkBoxes (with an 's') and some are checkedBoxex (with an 'x'). This could lead to the described error.

:dizzy:

You have to put Int i = 0; outside the for loop in setupCheckBoxes Method
