getphotourl is getting nullpointerexception in android.

It's not in the tutorial, but turns out that on step #9 you must add and "If" statement in the line where you index the friendlymessage:

if (friendlyMessage.getText() != null) {
      // write this message to the on-device index
      FirebaseAppIndex.getInstance().update(getMessageIndexable(friendlyMessage));
}
