Error using setText in runInUiThread [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x0
(8 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I need a thread that waits some time then changes a text in a TextView.
My search found how to use runOnUiThread
I understood the first answer and tried to use it in my code but I get an error when calling setText in the thread.
Here is my code
(start is the onClick function of a button):
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public int i = 0;
private TextView mText;
private Thread thread;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
}
public void start (View v) {
runThread();
}
private void runThread() {
new Thread() {
public void run() {
while (true) {
try {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
i++;
mText.setText((i));
}
});
Thread.sleep(100);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}.start();
}
}
Here is my error

Thank you in advance for your help.

mText.setText((i)) is the problem.
Android thinks that you are referencing a String ID and is crashing because it cannot find a String with an ID of 1. If you meant to set the text to "1", "2" ect... then write mText.setText((Integer.toString(i)))

Since i has type int, you are calling setText(int resourceId) variant of function, what is obvious not you want. setText(String.valueOf(i)) should work.

How to Call BroadcastReceiver from Activity via Interface in Android

I need to set Listener for Activity Class from BroadcastReceiver Class But here in my below code I am getting null pointer exception in BroadcastReceiver class..
Here is my code
Activity Class
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements TheListener
{
Message_Incomingsms jv_class_Message_Incomingsms;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
jv_class_Message_Incomingsms = new Message_Incomingsms();
jv_class_Message_Incomingsms.setSmsReceivedistener(this);
}
#Override
public void onSmsReceived(String jv_string_address, String jv_string_MessageText)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"This Message is from Lister number is "+jv_string_address +" Message is "+jv_string_MessageText,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//Doing some Activity.....
}
}
Interface
public void setSmsReceivedistener(Context context)
{
this.jv_TheListener = (TheListener)context;
}
BroadCastReceiver Class
public class Message_Incomingsms extends BroadcastReceiver
{
String jv_string_phone_received_Number;
String jv_string_phone_received_messageText;
public TheListener jv_TheListener;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Log.d("Received","OnReceive method is called");
jv_smsmanager_incoming_sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
jv_bundle_incoming_sms = intent.getExtras();
if(jv_bundle_incoming_sms!=null)
{
Object[] jv_pdusObj_incoming_sms = (Object[]) jv_bundle_incoming_sms.get("pdus");
for(int jv_i = 0; jv_i < jv_pdusObj_incoming_sms.length ;jv_i++)
{
SmsMessage jv_current_message = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) jv_pdusObj_incoming_sms[jv_i]);
jv_string_phone_received_Number =jv_current_message.getDisplayOriginatingAddress();
jv_string_phone_received_messageText = jv_current_message.getDisplayMessageBody();
}
//Here Below line is problem for me Always am getting null value for (jv_TheListener)
//Why value is not getting assigned for this (jv_TheListener) always
jv_TheListener.onSmsReceived(jv_string_phone_received_Number,jv_string_phone_received_messageText);
}
}
public void setSmsReceivedistener(Context context)
{
this.jv_TheListener = (TheListener)context;
}
}
Please provide me solution for above BroadCastClass code where am always getting null exception for (jv_TheListener)
log Cat ( I removed some lines for in code for not to confuse.. so dont refer linenumber based on below error)

Android - Using thread

I have three class in my app.
First extends Activity
public class TestProjActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
String my ="";
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Translation th = new Translation(this);
my = th.doSomeJob();
}
}).start();
Log.d("ONCREATE", my);
}
}
Second is DBHelper
public class DBHelper {
private final Context myContext;
public DBHelper(Context context) {
this.myContext = context;
}
}
and third one extends DBhelper
public class Translation extends DBHelper {
public Translation(Runnable runnable) {
super((Context) runnable);
}
public String doSomeJob(){
return "Yes I DID!";
}
}
future I will change this classes to do real job but now,
when I run this I get this error:
05-11 13:15:53.003: E/AndroidRuntime(512): Uncaught handler: thread Thread-8 exiting due to uncaught exception

What do I wrong ?

You're trying to cast your Runnable into a Context. This is not possible
I think that you want to do is
Translation th = new Translation(TestProjActivity.this);
and
public Translation(Context context) {
super(context);
}

Translation constructor take Activity(Context). But Translation constructor signature take Runnable. I think this is your problem (wrong class cast from Context/Activity to Runnable).

How can I access a function in another class?

I am developing an app for android that has to access another class, but i don't know why it doesn't work.
When run the App in android 2.3.3 it force closes, and I don't understand why. I think that the method is correct.

Detail logs:
EDIT: This code already is correctly.
The code:
class BetaTesterActivity:
package beta.tester;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class BetaTesterActivity extends Activity {
public TextView text1;
private teste cmd;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
text1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text1);
//Start the function
cmd = new teste();
cmd.start(this);
}
}
class teste:
package beta.tester;
public class teste {
//Function that I will start
public void start(BetaTesterActivity zav){
zav.text1.setText("Hello");
}
//
}

In class teste, you are creating a new BetaTesterActivity, which is useless. You need to use the instance created by the framework. Change your class teste to this:
public class teste {
//Function that I will start
public void start(BetaTesterActivity zav){
zav.text1.setText("Hello");
}
}
Then in the onCreate method of your activity class, you need to initialize cmd and then call start like this:
cmd.start(this);

Android Development: "thread exiting with uncaught exception"

I think the problem is this "thread exiting with uncaught exception" part, I have no idea what the exception could be or what's causing it.
Here is my code:

UPDATE: Here is my R.java and nmg_layout.xml:
R.java:
package com.stickfigs.nmg;
public final class R {
public static final class attr {
}
public static final class drawable {
public static final int icon=0x7f020000;
}
public static final class id {
public static final int nmg=0x7f050000;
}
public static final class layout {
public static final int nmg_layout=0x7f030000;
}
public static final class string {
public static final int app_name=0x7f040001;
public static final int hello=0x7f040000;
}
}
nmg_layout.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.stickfigs.nmg.NMGView
android:id="#+id/nmg"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</FrameLayout>

If you look through the stack trace, you will see a "Caused by..." line (sometimes more than one). The last one of those is the important one. It says that there was a null pointer exception on line 32 of NMG.java. That line, and the line before it, are:
nMGView = (NMGView) findViewById(R.id.nmg);
nMGThread = nMGView.getThread();
Evidently, no view with id R.id.nmg is in layout R.layout.nmg_layout. That's what's causing your problem.

In your XML file, the R.id.nmg do exist.
So I think the problem is caused by inflating the NMGView object from the resource.
You should examine your NMGView source code, especially in its constructor.

If you are using "multiDexEnabled true" in your "build.gradle(Module:app)" , remove this line from "defaultConfig" and sync project.
It works in my case !!!

This problems happens because most of the time the SurfaceView onDraw() method is running when you destroy the surfaceView then you get a NULL POINTER ERROR because the canvas doesn´t exist by that moment. I have fixed this problem catching all the drawing stuff with the NullPointerException:
#Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
try {
//Drawing Stuff
}catch(NullPointerException e){
Log.e("NULL POINTER EXCEPTION","Canvas NULL POINTER");
}
}
If you implement onPause(), onDestroy() methods in your Main activity you will get the following order: first: E/onPause﹕ ON PAUSE --> next E/surfaceDestroyed﹕ SURFACE DESTROYED --> E/NULL POINTER EXCEPTION﹕ Canvas NULL POINTER --> finally
E/onDestroy﹕ ON DESTROY
this is surfaceDestroyed method I am using:
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder arg0) {
Log.e("surfaceDestroyed", "SURFACE DESTROYED ");
thread.setRunning(false);
try {
//thread.setRunning(false);
thread.join();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.e("Surface Thread Stopped","SURFACE THREAD STOPPED");
}
}
