THANK YOU!!!! after reading this... If the NullPointerException is exactly on the statement you pointed out, then spinner_drawings must be null, suggesting something is going wrong with the loading of your layout.
and looking at my code again i realized that findViewById() should read saveOpenDialog.findViewByid() because the view is in a dialog. I never thought of that! i figured if there was a problem with that i would have got the error on that line. Thanks again Mark!
