What is the problem going on ?

Have you managed to resolve this problem? I am getting this null pointer and i am unable to fix it.

[rmushfiqur2]

No, I didn't. I ended up with using another library.

Any solutions yet guys?

I know it is too late but for anyone who still wanna use this library (even tho it is too old) and is facing the same issue:

I had the same issue and the problem was because I forgot to set the title. I solved it by adding a title. You can add title using either of following methods.
In your xml app:pin_titleText="Enter your title here"
OR
In your java or kotlin
pinview.setTitle("Enter your title here")
