        vibratorManager = this.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_MANAGER_SERVICE) as VibratorManager
        //vibrator = vibratorManager.defaultVibrator
        //vibrator.vibrate(VibrationEffect.createOneShot(100, 30))
        //image.setOnTouchListener(imagetouch())
    }

i'm making wearOS applincation.
when i call getSystemService() i get NullPointerException. it seems getSystemService() keep returns null but i don't know why.
i also wrote <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/ > in AndroidManifest.xml.
i can't even get clue. please help...please.... i once wrote getSystemService() at OnResume() because someone told me that it something is not initialized yet(?) but it also was not working.
this is stacktrace:

Solution

VIBRATOR_MANAGER_SERVICE was added in API level 31 (Android 12) and devices running on lower API levels know nothing about it.

On older API levels you can use VIBRATOR_SERVICE instead to retrieve a Vibrator (rather than a VibratorManager).
