Check current Brightness android

Question

I can't make working my code.. I want check the current brightness and if is in authomatic my ToggleButton will be checked else not. I explain; This is what i'm trying to do to check the brightness:

public static final int SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE_AUTOMATIC = 1;

int curBrightnessValue = android.provider.Settings.System.getInt(getActivity().getContentResolver(), 
                android.provider.Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS,-1);

        //
        if (curBrightnessValue == 1){
            autoBrightToggle.setEnabled(true);
        } else {
            autoBrightToggle.setEnabled(false);
        }

of course then there is the toggle:

autoBrightToggle = (ToggleButton)v.findViewById(R.id.luminosita);
        autoBrightToggle.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (autoBrightToggle.isChecked()) {
                    setAutoBrightness(true);
                } else {
                    setAutoBrightness(false);
                }
            }
        });
---

void setAutoBrightness(boolean value) {
        if (value) {
            Settings.System.putInt(getActivity().getContentResolver(), SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE, SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE_AUTOMATIC);
        } else {
            Settings.System.putInt(getActivity().getContentResolver(), SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE, SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE_MANUAL);
        }
    }

David please provide more information or verify your onCreateView() in devicecontrolfragment.java for null values, that's what is causing a problem here. (devicecontrolfragment.java: line 78) As a side note, also make sure you have relevant permissions for this action.
