Getting "on a null object reference" [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?
(12 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
So i'm getting " on a null object reference" on my l1 and have no idea how to fix it after googling. I've tried multiple coding discords but they say it's because of the depreciated code but when I googled it shows that the depreciated code still works and the youtube tutorial I was following for it worked fine .
MainActivity -
package com.getcontacts;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
ListView l1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
l1 = findViewById(R.id.listView);
}
public void get(View v) {
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,null,null,null,null);
startManagingCursor(cursor);
String[] from = {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID};
int[] to = {android.R.id.text1,android.R.id.text2};
SimpleCursorAdapter simpleCursorAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2,cursor,from,to,1);
l1.setAdapter(simpleCursorAdapter);
l1.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
}
}
and this is the error -

apparently this : findViewById(R.id.listView); returns null please double check your tags and wether this element actually exists at the time of the call

Check the l1 you are trying to reference in your layout file to ensure you provided the id and spelled it exactly as you are calling it in the Java.

Issue trying to use Recycler View

i'm trying to follow a tutorial for RecyclerView.
But when i finish and try to test my code i got this message:

I am a begginer and i don't understand this message. It seems that i have an error on this code with my setHasFixedSize() function
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private RecyclerView.Adapter mAdapter;
private RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager;
private String[] myDataset = {"Lundi", "Mardi", "Mercredi", "Vendredi", "Samedi", "Dimanche"};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.recycler_view);
mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
mLayoutManager=new LinearLayoutManager(this);
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
mAdapter=new RecyclerViewAdapter(myDataset);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
}
}
can you help me please to understand what's wrong.
my_recycler_view is my view which contain this :
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android.id="#+id/my_recycler_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
and I have an other view which describe lines of my list. And finally I have a class named RecyclerViewAdapter.

In your XML layout, you have this line:
android.id="#+id/my_recycler_view"
change it to this instead:
android:id="#+id/my_recycler_view"
Because you've written android.id instead of android:id, the view isn't getting an id. Since it doesn't have an id, findViewById() can't find it, so it returns null (leading to your error).

the code I am using to pass this information and pick it up is as follows:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_drawer);
mNavigationDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
mTitle = getTitle();
ArrayList<String> menuItems = new ArrayList<String>();
menuItems.add("Test");
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putStringArrayList("edttext", menuItems);
/* set Fragmentclass Arguments */
NavigationDrawerFragment fragobj = new NavigationDrawerFragment();
fragobj.setArguments(bundle);
// Set up the drawer.
mNavigationDrawerFragment.setUp(
R.id.navigation_drawer,
(DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout));
}
And the code I am using to pick up the new arguments is:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
ArrayList<String> strtext = getArguments().getStringArrayList("edttext");
mDrawerListView = (ListView) inflater.inflate(
R.layout.fragment_navigation_drawer, container, false);
mDrawerListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
selectItem(position);
}
});
mDrawerListView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(
getActionBar().getThemedContext(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_activated_1,
android.R.id.text1,
strtext));
mDrawerListView.setItemChecked(mCurrentSelectedPosition, true);
return mDrawerListView;
}
Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated!

you can use a class with static ArrayList property
public class Values
{
public static ArrayList<String> myArrayList;
}
in the activity:
ArrayList<String> menuItems = new ArrayList<String>();
Values.myArrayList = menuItems;
in the fragment
ArrayList<String> strtext = Values.myArrayAdapter;

Help me please :)

If you read other Stack Overflow questions, you will notice that well-written questions include the source code that is crashing (in your case, MainActivity) in addition to the stack trace.
In this case, I can tell just from the stack trace that you are calling findViewById() on your MainActivity too soon. This cannot be done until after your call to setContentView().
In particular, you appear to be calling findViewById() in the initializer of data member. Do not call inherited methods on Activity until after super.onCreate(), unless specifically directed otherwise.

settext force close when trying to display text in textview

This is the Main java file,i was trying to use the settext method but everytime i use it it gives me force close
public class SecondActivity extends Activity {
TextView myAwesomeTextView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
myAwesomeTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myAwesomeTextView);
myAwesomeTextView.setText("My Awesome Text");
}
}
XML
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/myAwesomeTextView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:textSize="20sp"
android:editable="true"/>
</LinearLayout>

You need to use setContentView(R.layout.second) instead of setContentView(R.layout.main).
public class SecondActivity extends Activity {
TextView myAwesomeTextView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.second);
myAwesomeTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myAwesomeTextView);
myAwesomeTextView.setText("My Awesome Text");
}
}
