How to update a lead field based on associated activities

I'm fairly new to apex, so if this is really simple and I am just missing it, I apologize.

 

What I'm trying to do is take a boolean value field from the activity, use it to increment a field in the associated lead, and then toggle the boolean. Any help would be awesome.

You did not say, you are using trigger or visualforce or scontrol

Anyway

    Task objTask = [select yourbooleanfield, WhoId from Task limit 1] //I am taking a task record

    if(yourbooleanfield == true) 

    {

        Lead objLead = new Lead(Id = objTask.WhoId);

        objLead.yourIncremtField = objLead.yourIncremetnField++;

        update objLead;

        objTask.yourbooleanfield = false;

        update objTask;
 

    } 

 

Hope this helps.

 Ok so during my trial and error process, I've made a few changes... 

 

The goal at this point is just to increment the increment field if bool__c is true.

 

for some reason, I keep on getting a "De-referencing a null object" error, even though there is a default value set.

 

Field Label# of CallsObject NameLead
Field NameinfrementField
Data TypeNumber
API NameincrementField__c  
Description 

 

 

trigger incrementStuff on Task(before insert)
{
    private Task[] newTask = Trigger.new;
    string subject = newTask[0].Subject;
    subject.toLowerCase();
    if    (subject.contains ('stuff'))
        newTask[0].bool__c = false;
  

    else
    {
        newTask[0].bool__c=true;
        string realId = newTask[0].WhoId;
        realId = realId.substring(0,15);
        Lead parent = new Lead(Id = realId);
        parent.incrementField__c = parent.incrementField__c + 1;
        update parent;
    }
   
}
