Closed 8 years ago.
Hi I am encountering a null pointer error when I click on the activity Links. The purpose of my feature is to call a list of links in the form of list view. Below is the logcat and as far as I understand it is coming from my onItemClickListener, but I can't seem to point out the null error.:

//Set the click listener to launch the browser when a row is clicked.

Any help is really appreciate, thank you!

Change following line
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
to
setContentView(R.layout.activity_links);

Seems like your using different layouts:
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
vs
activity_links.xml

I think the trouble is related with the listview, because, when no data put on listview, it is fine, but with data, it threw the errors.
I believe your current problem is
<TextView
android:id="#+id/programtitle"
...
android:drawableLeft="#+id/programtime" /> // HERE
You are referencing the other TextView but you should be referencing a Drawable. My guess is that you want to put it to the left of the other TextView?
If this is the case, the LinearLayout will lay them out from left to right by default so you just need to put them in the order that you want them to appear. Also, not a problem but since they are left to right by default, there's no need for
android:orientation="horizontal"
It's not showing when you don't have any items in your ListView because the layout is never inflated so the error is never caught.
Docs
android:id="#+id/list"
use that, you're welcome
PS: Change
ListView myList = (ListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);
for:
ListView myList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);

Android Runtime Crash

I'm new to Android development and trying to build my first application. I'm currently trying to build a simple counter that allows the user to increment the total by +1, -1, +5, -5 with the starting value being 20. When I try to run my app it always crashes immediately and I'm completely stuck on how to fix it.
Here is my code:

EditText Display;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//Total = 20;
Plus1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnPlus1);
Min1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnMin1);
Plus5 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnPlus5);
Min5 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnmin5);
Display = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.tvTotal);
Display.setText(Total);
Plus1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Adds 1 to the counter
Total = Total + 1;
Display.setText(Total);
}
});
Min1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Subtract 1 from counter
Total = Total - 1;
Display.setText(Total);
}
});
Plus5.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Adds 1 to the counter
Total = Total + 5;
Display.setText(Total);
}
});
Min5.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Subtract 1 from counter
Total = Total - 5;
Display.setText(Total);
}
});
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment())
.commit();
}
}

return true;
}

}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

return rootView;
}
}
}

As per your code and layout , issue is with the EditText Id.
You are trying to find the EditText view using the Button Id
As per your layout change this line
Display = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.tvTotal);
to
Display = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etTotal);
Also , the other issue is in setText to EditText
Display.setText(Total);
Total is an int. It should be a String or should be a valid String Resource ID
If you are setting an integer , it will be considered as Resource Id
This what the setText method does...
public final void setText(int resid) {
setText(getContext().getResources().getText(resid));
}
Either, change the int to pass the correct string Resource Id or convert the int to string like this
Display.setText(Integer.toString(Total));
You should use a debugger. Step each line in your onCreate method until you see a value that is wrong - probably a null pointer. You don't say how you built your application but using both Eclipse or Android Studio allow line by line debug stepping. Use this feature and it will allow you to find your bugs quickly and easily.
https://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/debugging-projects.html
make sure all of these exists in your layout activity_mail.xml
Plus1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnPlus1);
Min1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnMin1);
Plus5 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnPlus5);
Min5 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnmin5);
Display = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.tvTotal);
And by that I mean, check if there is a Button with ID btnPlus1 , then check if there is a Button with ID btnMin1, and so on.
Since the exception is a NullPointerException the problem is probably that you mistyped an ID and one (or more) of them is returning null.

NullpointerException in Listview on android

Hello everyone I'm working with a ListView and when i open the activity my app crashes due to a NullPointerException. Everything is declared, so I really have no idea of why this is happening.
So I have this layouts:
delete.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:background="#color/background"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView android:id="#android:id/android:list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"></ListView>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_deleteAll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/deleteAll"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
And item.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/date"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/time"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/details"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</RelativeLayout>
And my ListActivity class is:
package com.example.calendar;
import com.example.calendar.DBHandler;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
public class DeleteAppointment extends ListActivity implements OnClickListener{
DBHandler db;
Appointment app;
ListView list;
Cursor cursor;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.delete);
Button deleteAll = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_deleteAll);
list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
deleteAll.setOnClickListener(this);
db = new DBHandler(this);
cursor = getContentResolver().query(db.CONTENT_URI, new String[]{app._date, app._title, app._time, app._details}, null, null, "asc");
startManagingCursor(cursor);
String[] columns = new String[]{app._date, app._title, app._time, app._details};
int[] to = new int[]{R.id.date, R.id.name, R.id.time, R.id.details};
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.item, cursor, columns, to);
this.setListAdapter(adapter);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.btn_deleteAll:
finish();
break;
}
}
}
The line where it crashes is line 28, which is
cursor = getContentResolver().query(db.CONTENT_URI, new String[]{app._date, app._title, app._time, app._details}, null, null, "asc");

Please help me.
app is not initialized in your code. you need initialize that before using
you need something like:
app = new Appointment();
and if you are using a ListActivity, you need to have a ListView who's id is android.R.list in your layout file.
Use android.R.id.list or getListView() instead of R.id.list to initialize ListView :
list = (ListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);
OR
list = getListView();

How to resolve this ?
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: android.view.fragment
you are not this importing fragment from the support library and your device is older pre Android 3. It should be
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
also in your xml change
android:name
with
class
Inside Fragment1 onclick of button1, do something like this:
FragmentManager FM = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
Fragment2 f2=(Fragment2) FM.findFragmentById(R.id.fragment2);
f2.setName(textedit.getText().toString());
I hope it will be helpful !!

I am adding the folder structure below if it helps
Why I am getting this error? How to solve this? Please help!
try this:
change this
ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
for:
ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
Normally they use android.R.id.list when class extends a ListActivity
Change:
ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
to
ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
Unless you have an id in your XML in the format of android:id="#android:id/myID", you don't need to use android.R. Whenever you use one of your own IDs, you can simply use R.id.Whatever
The issue is right here. ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list); you reference the Id android.R.id.list
however in your layout you reference android:id="#+id/list" which creates an Id in the Resources class called list. so you should be referencing R.id.list if you debug you will find that the lv variable is null because it wasn't found because you referenced the wrong id.
If your are using your own layout you don't need any more to write android.R just remove android and reorganize your class
Try this.
I hope it will solve your NPE.
Change it
ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
to
ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
Actually You have defined the list view in the layout activity_form.xml have name list so you need to write the R.id.list.
I managed to solve this by my self. Following edits were required.
activity_form.xml
The "id" of the ListView should be
android:id="#android:id/list"
Form.java
It should call the ListView in this way
ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);
Inside getView(), the initialization of the TextView and ImageView should be like this
TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.listText);
ImageView iv = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.listImage);
Note the view.findViewById() part.
