   password.setText("");
   **getLoaderManager().initLoader(1,null,null);** //here is the error 

                    }
                }
                });

            }
             @Override
                public  Loader<User> onCreateLoader(int id,Bundle args) {
                 loginLoader = new LoginLoader(context,userName.getText().toString(),password.getText().toString(),"2013-07-10 01:18:26");
                Log.i("login loader",""+loginLoader);
                 return loginLoader;
                 }

                @Override
                public void onLoadFinished(Loader<User> arg0,User proposals) {
                    Log.i("User",""+proposals.getUsername());

Answer 1

Looking at your code and your marker, the NullPointerException occurs because you're passing in a null in the place of a required parameter.

getLoaderManager().initLoader(1,null,null); //here is the error

According to the LoaderManager Docs the callback is required:

Parameters

• id A unique identifier for this loader. Can be whatever you want. Identifiers re scoped to a particular LoaderManager instance.
• args Optional arguments to supply to the loader at construction. If a loader already exists (a new one does not need to be created), this parameter will be ignored and the last arguments continue to be used.
• callback Interface the LoaderManager will call to report about changes in the state of the loader. Required.

It looks like you're already implementing LoaderCallbacks, you just have to pass your implementation to the initLoader method:

getLoaderManager().initLoader(1,null,this);

Answer 2

Your date is in the wrong format. Use this instead:

2013-02-03T06:41:41.000Z

You have to put a T between date and time, a Z to the end, and add milliseconds.
