android - getting nullpointerexception for no specific reason

Question

I am working on an android project and as far as I know, I don't make any specific mistakes in my code that would lead to an exception.

I get these two error lines everytime I run my project, but the rest of my code runs without any issues.

The NullPointerException doesn't have a concrete occurance location, which confuses me.

I have already searched for similar issues. A possible solution was adding the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE as uses-permission in my Android Manifest file, but to no avail.
