java.lang.NullPointerException null object reference viewpager - java

I am stuck while coding and need help on that.
I am using view binding in my project.
I have unable binding and that is working fine.
I have used same code in my earlier project except view binding and that project was working fine.
Here is my XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="5dp"
tools:context=".Home">
<androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#id/bottom_navigation" />
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/bottom_navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_navigation_menu" />
</RelativeLayout>
Here is my Java code
package com.example.professionals;
public class Home extends AppCompatActivity {
private ActivityHomeBinding Homebinding;
protected ViewPager viewPager;
protected Mypager_Adapter mypager_adapter;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
Homebinding = ActivityHomeBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
View view = Homebinding.getRoot();
setContentView(view);
Homebinding.pager.findViewById(R.id.pager);
mypager_adapter = new Mypager_Adapter(this);
viewPager.setAdapter(mypager_adapter);
Homebinding.bottomNavigation.setOnItemSelectedListener(new
NavigationBarView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(#NonNull MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.home:
showMsg("Home");
break;
case R.id.profile:
showMsg("Profile");
break;
}
return false;
}
});
}
private void showMsg(String msg) {
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, msg, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
}
}
Here is the error list

Thanks in advance for help!

You need to add
viewPager = findViewById<ViewPager>(R.id.pager)
Before this line
viewPager.setAdapter(mypager_adapter);
Edit:
Actually it seems like you're attempting to use ViewBinding as well as regular findViewById, if I were you I'd stick with ViewBinding and delete this line
protected ViewPager viewPager;
Then try this instead
Homebinding.pager.setAdapter(mypager_adapter);

You haven't initialize your ViewPager.
You need initialize your viewPager. For that you have couple of options
Initialize with findViewById before setting adapter.
viewPager = findViewById(R.id.pager)
As you are using view binding would be the good idea
Homebinding.pager.setAdapter(mypager_adapter)

Android: Error inflating PreferenceScreen

I've seen a few other similar references to this issue, however have not yet found a solution to my issue.
I used to use android.preference.Preference however have recently moved over to androidx in order to use a SeekBarPreference.
Now, when I try to inflate the Preference screen I get the following error:

Managed to solve this. It was because I hadn't updated android.support.v7.preference within pref_general.xml to androidx.preference.
After doing this, it worked fine!

videoview.setVideoUri shows null pointer exception

So I have a VideoView but when I try to play video (which is in my res/raw folder)it gives me null pointer exception. I tried using video.setVideoUri(uri) and also video.setVideoPath(path) but it still shows null pointer exception.
Activity:
public class Player extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
VideoView videoView=findViewById(R.id.videoView);
String path="android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/"+R.raw.playthis;
Uri uri=Uri.parse(path);
videoView.setVideoPath(uri.getPath());
}
public void goBackVideo(View view){
finish();
}
}

You should add a contentView on your activity onCreate So change your onCreate Like this:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.your_layout_name) // Add this line,
VideoView videoView=findViewById(R.id.videoView);
String path="android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/"+R.raw.playthis;
Uri uri=Uri.parse(path);
videoView.setVideoPath(uri.getPath());
}
After that you should check null video path, like
// If path is not null then set it to your videoView.
if(uri.getPath() != null) {
videoView.setVideoPath(uri.getPath());
}

ImageView gohan = findViewById(R.id.gohanView);
These are the only things that I've done:
Created project
Created empty activity
Added ImageView to activity
Imported image to drawable folder
Attached image to src of ImageView
RUN (Everything works at this point)
I then add the code above to my MainActivity class and the app will not run anymore.
Java
package com.example.david.dragonballz;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
ImageView gohan = findViewById(R.id.gohanView);
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}

Here is example of WORKING code from the Android classes I'm taking. Why does this work for him and used to work for me?
EXAMPLE
Never find id of any views before onCreate() method because the xml layout is loaded on onCreate().
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
find id in onCreate()
gohan = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.gohanView);
Declare this
public ImageView gohan;
Add this line in oncreate()
gohan = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.gohanView);
after this line
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Finally your onCreate()
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
gohan = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.gohanView);
gohan.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// do something
gohan.animate().alpha(0).setDuration(2000);
}
});
}
ALSO NOW ACCESS THIS IMAGEVIEW ANYWHERE

EDITED: Android App Force Closes with Null Pointer Exception - ArrayList Fails to Populate With Items [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?
(12 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
Edit: I realize this has been marked as a duplicate. But I believe this is somewhat different because I am not asking what a Null Pointer Exception is or how to fix it on a "programming fundamentals" level. If I am wrong on that then please correct me, but I believe that my question touches on a more intricate matter dealing with the Android framework. My issue has I have been trying to create a simple media player app following a basic YouTube tutorial but the app continues to force close immediately upon opening in the emulator. I am assuming it is some sort of configuration error because I have followed the tutorial to the letter. I have updated my code snippets according to the advice given. In the emulator the app force closes, however when I run the device on my phone the toast message "Null Array" is shown. My question, therefore, is why the program is not adding items into the mySongs ArrayList because there are .mp3 files in both the internal and external storage directories of my device. My code is as follows....
MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
ListView lv;
String[] items;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lvPlaylist);
final ArrayList<File> mySongs = findSongs(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory());
items = new String[mySongs.size()];
if (mySongs != null && !mySongs.isEmpty())
{
for (int i = 0; i < mySongs.size(); i++)
{
//toast(mySongs.get(i).getName().toString());
items[i] = mySongs.get(i).getName().toString().replace("mp3", "").replace(".wav", "");
}
}
else
{
//Log.e(getString(R.string.Exception));
Toast.makeText(this, "Null Array", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
ArrayAdapter<String> adp = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.song_layout, R.id.textView,items);
lv.setAdapter(adp);
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Player.class).putExtra("pos", position).putExtra("songlist", mySongs));
}
});
}
public ArrayList<File> findSongs(File root)
{
ArrayList<File> al = new ArrayList<File>();
File[] files = root.listFiles();
for (File singleFile : files)
{
if (singleFile.isDirectory() && !singleFile.isHidden())
{
findSongs(singleFile);
}
else
{
if (singleFile.getName().endsWith(".mp3") || singleFile.getName().endsWith(".wav"))
{
al.add(singleFile);
}
}
}
return al;
}

uses-permission android:name="android.permission.STORAGE"
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
in the AndroidManifest.xml file. Any advice in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks...
You're trying to get the length of ArrayList mySongs. It the ArrayList received from findSongs() methods is empty it might result in the Null Pointer exception on the line mySongs.length
Check whether the ArrayList mySongs is null or not before performing any operations on it.

Android error Attempt to invoke virtual method on a null object reference [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
I would like to set my variables at the top of my class instead of in the method
(4 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm new to Android Studio (and am hating the transition experience from Eclipse). I'm trying to write an app that currently has two activities. I already wrote the Java code for the main logic and it works fine, but haven't put it in the second activity yet. As I'm trying to write and run the app, it gives me an error.
There's a LoginActivity and MainActivity. Currently LoginActivity just has a dummy text and a button that takes the user to MainActivity. Currently MainActivity has just a TextView in it. When I click it, the app crashes and gives the following error. I can see it has something to do with initiating MainActivity but I can't seem to fix it.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

<Button
android:id="#+id/loginbtn"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Login"
android:onClick="goToMainActivity" />
</LinearLayout>
LoginActivity relevant code:
public void goToMainActivity(View view)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
MainActivity code as requested (line 22 is indicated by the prefix **):
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
String currentWinnerName = "";
**TextView currentWinnerLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.currentWinnerLabel);**
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
currentWinnerLabel.setText("Finding...");
//try
//{
//checkCurrentWinner(); //will implement this
//}
//catch (Exception e)
//{
//print e.getMessage() to log
//}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
The reason is, that you are trying to assign value to currentWinnerLabel before activity is created.
Unless activity is created, the context is null, and you are calling findViewById method on a null object reference.
Just change your code:
TextView currentWinnerLabel;
and after:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
currentWinnerLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.currentWinnerLabel);
...
