My Java code is comepletely error free and all the warnings have been fixed ..
i did not tweak anything that i think could have caused this error

this is my main activity code here

package com.example.passwordgenerator;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;
import java.util.Random;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
CheckBox check = findViewById(R.id.CheckBox);
CheckBox check1 = findViewById(R.id.CheckBox1);
CheckBox check2 = findViewById(R.id.CheckBox2);
CheckBox check3 = findViewById(R.id.CheckBox3);
public void Password(View view) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Password Generated!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.editText);
EditText editText1 = findViewById(R.id.editText2);
int length = Integer.parseInt(editText.getText().toString());
if (length==0){
Toast.makeText(this, "Please Type in the length", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
// declaring characters to be used in our password
String capAlpha = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
String aplha = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
String numbers = "1234567890";
String symbols = "!@#$%^&*()-_+={}[];:<>";
// this string here is our main string which
// combines every strings above
String values = "";
if (check.isChecked()) {
values += capAlpha;
}
if (check1.isChecked()) {
values += numbers;
}
if (check2.isChecked()) {
values += aplha;
}
if (check3.isChecked()) {
values += symbols;
}
// Using random method
Random random = new Random();
char[] password;
password = new char[length];
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
// Use of charAt() method : to get character value
// Use of nextInt() as it is scanning the value as int
password[i] = values.charAt(random.nextInt(values.length()));
}
String Password = String. valueOf(password);
editText1.setText(Password);
}
}

You're getting NullPointerException because you're initializing the CheckBox views outside the onCreate() method.

CheckBox check = findViewById(R.id.CheckBox);
CheckBox check1 = findViewById(R.id.CheckBox1);
CheckBox check2 = findViewById(R.id.CheckBox2);
CheckBox check3 = findViewById(R.id.CheckBox3);

Keep this portion of the code inside onCreate() method and that should solve the problem.
