Storing access token in SharedPreferences returns null object reference error

I am trying to store the access token I recieve from my oAuth2 server after logging in, but when I try to store it I get an error java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.example.dentdevils.helper.retrofit.oauth2.PreferenceClass.setToken(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference and I'm unsure why.

Here are my classes:
PreferenceClass.java

package com.example.dentdevils.helper.retrofit.oauth2;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
public class PreferenceClass {
public static final String PREFERENCE = "accessTokenPref";
private SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;
public PreferenceClass(Context context) {
sharedPreferences = context.getSharedPreferences(PREFERENCE, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
}
public String getToken() {
String token = sharedPreferences.getString("token", "");
return token;
}
public void setToken(String token) {
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putString("token", token);
editor.commit();
}
public void clearToken() {
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.remove("token");
editor.commit();
}
}

MainActivity.Java

package com.example.dentdevils;

AccessToken accessToken = new AccessToken();
accessToken.setClient_id("client");
accessToken.setClient_secret("client");
accessToken.setGrant_type("client_credentials");
OauthService oauthService = cOauthService.createService(OauthService.class, inputEmail.getText().toString(), inputPassword.getText().toString());
Call<AccessTokenResponse> call = oauthService.fetchAccessToken(accessToken);
call.enqueue(new Callback<AccessTokenResponse>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(Call<AccessTokenResponse> call, retrofit2.Response<AccessTokenResponse> response) {
if (response.isSuccessful()) {
String a = response.body().getAccess_token();
preferenceClass.setToken(a);
progressDialog.dismiss();
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), HomeActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
} else {
progressDialog.dismiss();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "There was an error, please try again!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
@Override
public void onFailure(Call<AccessTokenResponse> call, Throwable t) {
Log.d("Error", t.getMessage());
}
});
}
public boolean checkCameraPermission() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA)) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setTitle("Permission Required!")
.setMessage("This app requires the camera permission to be able to capture images of car damage. Please grant the app access to the camera by going into your Settings > Apps > Apps > Dent Devils > Permissions > Camera, then press Allow.")
.setPositiveButton("", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CAMERA);
}
})
.create()
.show();
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CAMERA);
}
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
}

Is there anything blatantly obvious as to why this does not work and it does not store my access token in SharedPreferences? I know the access token gets returned as I can log it and it appears.

The full logcat output can be seen below:

You never assign a value to preferenceClass in MainActivity.

Add something like this to your onCreate:

preferenceClass = new PreferenceClass(this);
