        day_name.setText(m.getName());
        day_description.setText(m.getDescription());
        day_type.setText(m.getType());
        if (m.getName().startsWith("no") && m.getName() != null) {
            day_name.setText(" ");
        } else if (m.getDescription().startsWith("no") && m.getDescription() != null) {

        }
        day_amount.setText("\u20B9" + m.getAmountin());

    } else if (m.getUsertype().startsWith("advancefarmer") && m.getUsertype() != null) {
        day_name.setText(m.getName());
        day_description.setText(m.getDescription());
        day_type.setText(m.getType());
        if (m.getName().startsWith("no") && m.getName() != null) {
            day_name.setText(" ");
        } else if (m.getDescription().startsWith("no") && m.getDescription() != null) {
            day_description.setText(" ");
        }
        Log.e("amountout",m.getAmountout());
        day_amount.setText("\u20B9" + m.getAmountout());
    } else {
        day_name.setText(m.getName());
        day_description.setText(m.getDescription());
        day_type.setText(m.getType());
        if (m.getName().startsWith("no") && m.getName()!=null) {
            day_name.setText(" ");
        } else if (m.getDescription().startsWith("no") && m.getDescription() != null) {
            day_description.setText(" ");
        }
        Log.e("amountout",m.getAmountout());
        day_amount.setText("\u20B9" + m.getAmountout());

Answer 1

change your code like this structure

if(m.getUsertype() != null && !m.getUsertype().isEmpty()) {


 if (m.getUsertype().startsWith("farmer")
 {
 }
 else if (m.getUsertype().startsWith("advancefarmer")
 {
 }
 ....
 }
