Hey Chandrashekhar! Let's see if we can't reason through what this error might mean. It looks like you're trying to call, 'setAdapter' on a null object reference. So I'd guess it's the 'viewPager' that's null. Then, since we set the 'viewPager' by using the 'findViewById' funcion, and since the 'findViewById' function returns null if it doesn't find that id. I'm going to guess that the id you're passing into 'findViewById' doesn't exist.
