How to make textviews visible depending on progress of seekbar

I am trying to make 4 different textviews visible depending on the progress of my seekbar (one visible at a time). I set the textviews to invisible and the seekbar max to 100. It works fine for the values below 24, but the app crashes as soon as the seekbar exceeds 25.

I am an absolute beginner programmer and trying to teach myself, I thought about using a while loop instead, but I can´t make it work either.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Code:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

SeekBar seekBar;
TextView textView;
TextView textView2;
TextView textView3;
TextView textView4;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    seekBar = findViewById(R.id.seekBar);
    seekBar.setMax(100);
    textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
    button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);

    seekBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser) {

                if (seekBar.getProgress() < 24) {
                    textView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                } else if (seekBar.getProgress() >= 25 && seekBar.getProgress() < 49) {
                    textView2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                } else if (seekBar.getProgress() >= 50 && seekBar.getProgress() < 74) {
                    textView3.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                } else if (seekBar.getProgress() >= 75) {
                    textView4.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                }

activity_main:

Answer

You have used findViewById to link a resource to your textView object. You need to do the same for textView2, textView3 and textView4. I presume you are getting a NullPointerException when you try to call a method on textView2.
