getting NullPointerException

[sudhakar ananth]

Hello Friends

I am getting this error when using this code in JOptionPane

"
String text = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(this, message);
if (text.equals("yes"))
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"TEXT ENTERED IS YES");
}else if (text.equals("no"))
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"TEXT ENTERED IS NO");
}else if(text.equals("")){

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"U DIDN'T ENTERED ANY TEXT");
}
"

Actually when i am clicking Cancel i am getting this EXCEPTION

can any tell how to solve or is there any return type to catch when click
CANCEL button..

Please don't post the same thing twice. I suggest you go into "edit" and delete this post.

try to check for null and then check actual condition using and
if (text!=null&&text.equals("yes"))
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"TEXT ENTERED IS YES");
}else if (text!=null&&text.equals("no"))
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"TEXT ENTERED IS NO");
}else if(text!=null&&text.equals("")){

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"U DIDN'T ENTERED ANY TEXT");
}



I hope it works....enjoy working

One more thing please try to use null instead of this in the code like

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"TEXT ENTERED IS YES");

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"TEXT ENTERED IS YES");

One more thing please try to use null instead of this

What would that achieve?
