I am trying to create an app. When testing it, whenever I try to press a button, the app on the phone says, "Unfortunately, [application name] has stopped."
On logcat, a message appears:

Finally, my java looks like this:
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Spinner;
public class Text extends AppCompatActivity {
final Context context = this;
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ConfirmationButton);
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.text_wall);
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.LanguagePicker);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,
R.array.language, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(context);
View promptsView = li.inflate(R.layout.alertdialog, null);
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(
context);
alertDialogBuilder.setView(promptsView);
alertDialogBuilder
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("OK",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int id) {
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.LanguagePicker);
String text = spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();
alertDialog.show();
}
});
}
}
Move the button initialization in the onCreate method. You can't do it before this method because the view is not rendered and the items are not ready. Change the Java code like the following:
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Spinner;
public class Text extends AppCompatActivity {
Context context;
Button button;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.text_wall);
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.LanguagePicker);
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ConfirmationButton);
context = this; // why this? why using context when you have this?
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,
R.array.language, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(context);
View promptsView = li.inflate(R.layout.alertdialog, null);
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(
context);
alertDialogBuilder.setView(promptsView);
alertDialogBuilder
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("OK",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int id) {
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.LanguagePicker);
String text = spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();
alertDialog.show();
}
});
}
}
In addiction check if your activity is present in the manifest; if not, post the full manifest please.

So I have made a simple heating text control app and it all works with permissions and all of that but it uses 2 fragments and inside them are two textboxes which I want to have the same text in -- phone number. I cannot get the edittext in rel2 to be changed by rel1.

EDIT:
I would like the edit text in Rel2 to change when I press save in rel1 therefore the phone number boxes will always be the same.
rel1
EDIT 2:
I have fixed the shared prefs issue but I would still like to know if anyone can make the textboxes the same wherether that is on text update or on save button press.
There are two ways you can do this.
Using Interface
Create an interface with a method something like TextChangeListener and declare a method onTextChange(String text).
interface TextChangeListener{
void onTextChange(String number);
}
Implement the interface in the HostActivity
class HostActivity extends Activity implements TextChangeListener{
...
void onTextChange(String number){
secondFragment.updateNumber(number)
}
...
}
In FirstFragment call the activity using the implmented interface in the afterTextChanged() listener of TextWatcher
class FirstFragment extends Fragment{
private TextChangeListener activity;
#Override
public onAttach(Context context){
if(context instanceof TextChangeListener){
activity = (TextChangeListener) context;
}
}
phNumEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
activity.onTextChange(s.toString);
}
...
);
...
}
In SecondFragment on receiving the call from activity, update the EditText with new data.
class SecondFragment extends Fragment{
...
public void updateNumber(String number){
editText.setText(number);
}
}
Using EventBus
Use EventBus to post an event from FirstFragment. The event will contain the data to be populated in SecondFragment. The SecondFragment will Subscribe to the event and on receiving the event the data will be populate into the EditText.
I have a MainActivity with a ListView and an add Button. When the user clicks the add Button it takes you to another activity the CreateActivity for you to enter in data or strings into the editText boxes. After that you click the create Button and it adds the strings to the ListView it shows up, but every time I try to add another item to the ListView it just overrides the first item and doesn't add on to the ListView.

every time you restart the MainActivity, it is be created, the onCreate method was executed .one method you can use the comment method:use startactivityforResult;
you can read this question how to manage startactivityforResult.the second method is to set MainActivity model to SingleInstance.
You are starting MainActivity over and over again, clearing all data previously loaded.
Try this solution
Main activity:
package com.example.brian.inventoryapp;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ListView;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import static android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public static final int CREATE_REQUEST = 1;
private Button addButton;
private ListView itemListView;
private ArrayList<String> arrayList;
private ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
itemListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.itemListView);
addButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.addButton);
arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, arrayList);
itemListView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
addButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.addButton);
addButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, CreateActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, CREATE_REQUEST);
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CREATE_REQUEST) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String item = data.getStringExtra("data");
arrayList.add(item);
arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, arrayList);
itemListView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
}
}
}
}
In your CreateActivity change createButton listener to this one:
createButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String item = "";
item = editTextItem.getText().toString().trim() +
editTextModel.getText().toString().trim() +
editTextSerial.getText().toString().trim() +
editTextID.getText().toString().trim();
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("data", item);
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
}
});
Yes it will assume as if the MainActivity is started for the first time so you should use startActivityForResult() method instead of startActivity().This will continue your MainActivity and do not override your list View.
i wrote a toDO list for my android class. It totally works , but now i want to display the todo list on a fragment ( so it can be its on tab). but when i tried making the fragment , i get a weird error when i try to run it. apparently the error comes from my main activity . so the way i have it set up is that, my main activity has a button that opens the fragment that has all the TOdolist stuff in it. but when i run it on my phone i get a unfortunately TodoList ha stopped as soon as it runs. the error is get is

According to android developers official website (HERE)
ListActivity has a default layout that consists of a single, full-screen list in the center of the screen. However, if you desire, you can customize the screen layout by setting your own view layout with setContentView() in onCreate(). To do this, your own view MUST contain a ListView object with the id "#android:id/list" (or list if it's in code)
for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="8dp"
android:paddingRight="8dp">
<ListView android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#00FF00"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"/>
<TextView android:id="#android:id/empty"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:text="No data"/>
</LinearLayout>
So either add a listview to your list activity xml or if you don't need a list view in your activity then simply use FragmentActivity to hold fragments.There is no point in using ListActivity unless it holds a ListView.
Your class is extending to a ListActivity which requires the ListView element in the xml. Your purpose be best served by extending your MainActivity class to Activity and fragments (if any) to Fragments class....
Add an list view to your xml with id android.R.id.list
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
add this xml to your layout
use Activity or FragmentActivity instead of ListActivity
if you want to use ListActivity see here once. you can use ListActivity without setting content view (setContentView()). you can directly setAdapter. or else use your own layout having one ListView with id as "#android:id/list"
EDIT :
public void onClick(View arg0) {
TextView taskTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.taskTextView);//directly use 'view' if 'R.id.taskTextView'it present in 'view'
String task = taskTextView.getText().toString();
String sql = String.format("DELETE FROM %s WHERE %s = '%s'",
Contract.TABLE_NAME,
Contract.Columns.TASK,
task);
helper = new DBHelper(getActivity());
SQLiteDatabase sqlDB = helper.getWritableDatabase();
sqlDB.execSQL(sql);
update();
}

You need to handle onClick of the button in this manner and show a toast if the edittext is empty
if(editText.getText().toString().trim().length()==0){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "field is empty",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
//your code here
}
If you want to check for empty EditText.. try TextUtils for it.
Example
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(edtText.getText().toString().trim())) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
"Empty", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
"Not Empty", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
I'm creating a basic conversion app which converts the users input from km-knots or vice versa. At present it displays the result in the same place as where the user initially type in their figure. I'm wondering how is it possible to display the result in a new activity? Currently I've only managed to make it appear, as I said, in the same place as where the user initially type in their figure and a second afterwards the second activity pops up. What am I missing here? Please look at my code, thanks:

If you want to pass any content from one activity to another, you can do it by using putExtra with intent, it will send data from one activity to another, and in another activity get that data by using getExtras.
To send data,
String str = "value";
Intent launchResult = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
putExtra("key", str);
startActivity(launchResult);
To receive data in another activity,
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
String str = extras.getStr("key");
Edit:
In my answer key is any unique value that must remain same in both Sender Activity and Receiver Activity.
You are getting the error because you have passed a string value where you had to pass key, and the key in receiver activity in not matching either.
See the change below, it should work
MainActivity.class
int result = R.string.userInput;
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
putExtra("userInput", result);
startActivity(i);
SecondActivity.class
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
int result = extras.getInt("userInput");
Use below code to pass values from one Activity to Another
Intent launchResult = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
launchResult.putExtra("output",result);
