我尝试从一个屏幕在另一个屏幕中执行操作，但每当我单击登录按钮时，我都会收到此错误 -----> java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.sql.Connection. prepareStatement(String)”因为“this.conexao”为空

下面是类代码

            stm.setString(1, txtUsuario.getText());
            stm.setString(1, txtSenha.getText());
            rs = stm.executeQuery();

            if (rs.next()) {
