Android program problem, NullPointerExc

Well, my program keeps giveing me a null point exception and I don't know why? I know it has something to do with the lvl variable, but I don't know what? What can I do to fix this problem?

    }

Check if the button with id "setLevel" is in your main.xml. If it is somewhere else, you can not find it like this:

 Button setLevel = (Button)findViewById(R.id.setLevel);

But you need an inflater.

If iunderstand this is 37-38 lines

Button setLevel = (Button)findViewById(R.id.setLevel);
        setLevel.setOnClickListener(this);

Seems like setLevel is null. Is button with id setLevel described in xml layout ?

Button setLevel = (Button)findViewById(R.id.setLevel);

This line is not returning an object. Make sure you have the id right and that there is a button registered with it.
