My app is currently trying to connect a user and customer and here I am trying to do this via Firebase and GeoFire. However for some reason this switch is throwing me

The app crashes when I select to be a user, and crashes the app. I have looked through to see if I am missing a CustomerID somewhere but can't see anywhere. The stand out is the NullPointerException error.
switch (CustomerID){
case "":
geoFireWorking.removeLocation(UserID, new GeoFire.CompletionListener() {
@Override
public void onComplete(String key, DatabaseError error) {
}
});
geoFireAvailable.setLocation(UserID, new GeoLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()), new GeoFire.CompletionListener() {
@Override
public void onComplete(String key, DatabaseError error) {
}
});
break;
default:
geoFireAvailable.removeLocation(UserID, new GeoFire.CompletionListener() {
@Override
public void onComplete(String key, DatabaseError error) {
}
});
geoFireWorking.setLocation(UserID, new GeoLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()), new GeoFire.CompletionListener() {
@Override
public void onComplete(String key, DatabaseError error) {
}
});
break;
}
I am not sure what I am missing and it is really bugging me as I assumed it was correct :(
It sounds like, to me, that CustomerID is null. Check it before using switch on it.
