Stuck in TransitionManager exercise

Hey, everyone. I've been stuck in the current exercise and have been getting a Java Lang Null Exception. This is my code.

``` public void onButtonClicked(View view) { if (mCurrentScene == mScene2) { mCurrentScene = mScene1; } else { mCurrentScene = mScene2; } mTransitionManager.transitionTo(mCurrentScene); }

protected void setupTransitions() {

    // These methods are setting up scenes and transitions sets like in the video
    initScenes();
    initSets(); 

    // Start here!
    mTransitionManager.setTransition(mScene1, mScene2, mForwardSet);
    mTransitionManager.setTransition(mScene2, mScene1, mBackwardSet);
    mScene1.enter();
} ```

Can't seem to find what's wrong. Any ideas?

MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    protected TransitionManager mTransitionManager;
    protected Scene mScene1;
    protected Scene mScene2;
    protected Scene mCurrentScene;
    protected TransitionSet mForwardSet;
    protected TransitionSet mBackwardSet;

    // Some code omitted for brevity

    public void onButtonClicked(View view) {
        if (mCurrentScene == mScene2) {
            mCurrentScene = mScene1;
        }
        else {
            mCurrentScene = mScene2;
        }

    }

    protected void setupTransitions() {
        // These methods are setting up scenes and transitions sets like in the video
        initScenes();
        initSets(); 

        // Start here!

    }
}

ViewGroup root = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.container);

Scene expandedScene = Scene.getSceneForLayout(root, R.layout.transition_scene_2, this.getContext());

TransitionManager.go(expandedScene, new ChangeBounds());
