I am new to android and java. I tried to check my code against an example but somehow the application keeps forced close while the example works perfectly well. I need help please! Thanks in advance! I just changed the name to string instead of int. I don't know if i did correct for HistoryActivity the ArrayAdapter

The date object you are passing to df.format is NULL, which is causing NullPointerException
public String toString() {

DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
date object is null above

you need to do null check on the date instance
