getOrientationMatrix causes the app to crash

Question

I used SensorManager.getOrientation(matrixR, orientationMatrix); in my attempts to get the device orientation as shown below. But i don not know why SensorManager.getOrientation(matrixR, orientationMatrix);, as logcat suggests, it causes the app to crash? I tried to omit SensorManager.getOrientation(matrixR, orientationMatrix); and the app runs normally. please help me to solve this problem

JavaCode:

if (accelerometerValues != null && magnetometerValues != null) {
        float [] matrixR = new float[3];
        float [] matrixI = new float[3];
        boolean success = SensorManager.getRotationMatrix(matrixR, matrixI,   
        accelerometerValues, magnetometerValues);
        if (success) {
            float [] orientationMatrix = new float[3];
            SensorManager.getOrientation(matrixR, orientationMatrix);
            tvAzimuthReading.setText(Float.toString(orientationMatrix[0]));
            tvPitchReading.setText(Float.toString(orientationMatrix[1]));
            tvRollReading.setText(Float.toString(orientationMatrix[2]));
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No Rmatrix", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }

Answer 1

Try to define your matrixR and matrixI to be as follows:

float [] matrixR = new float[9];
float [] matrixI = new float[9];
