Challange 2- keep getting NullPointerException

Hello I am attempting Challenge 2 and keep getting a NullPointerException on mFirstButton, I have placed my code below, any help would be greatly appreciated.

NullPointerException crash log will be more helpful for further analyze.
Please also provide it.

This it the entire log thank you for your help

I am a little out of practice with UI, but I think you need to create mFirstButton and mLastButton in the same section of code where the CrimeFragment View is inflated. You defined those two buttons in the CrimeFragment layout XML file, so you need to call findViewById() for those buttons after you have created the CrimeFragment View.

Please also provide your layout activity_crime_pager.xml

According to your usage,

mFirstButton= findViewById(R.id.first_button);
mLastButton= findViewById(R.id.last_button);

both buttons should be defined in this layout file, not the current fragment_crime.xml.
