Hi hoping someone can help me with a error i'm getting when running my code. What want is when the user gets game over the score from the main class is taken to the gameover class to display the final score. without the intent the game over screen loads fine but when I add the intent upon gameover running the game the app crashes Here is my code where score is the int:
main class intent:
Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,gameover.class);
myIntent.putExtra("number", score);
MainActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
gameover class:
EndScore = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.show);
int numScore;
numScore = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("number");
String s = String.valueOf( numScore );
EndScore.setText(s);
I have been looking around the forums but can't see what I am doing wrong.
Log is as follows:

The int is increment when the user scores a point then on game over it should send and be shown in the textview
Update whole gameover class:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class gameover extends Activity {
Button re_run;
TextView EndScore;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
re_run = (Button) findViewById(R.id.retry);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.gameover);
EndScore = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.show);
int numScore;
numScore = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("number");
String s = String.valueOf( numScore );
EndScore.setText(s);
}
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
private void setButtonOnClickListeners(){
re_run.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
}
});
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// Do nothing
}
}
Put this line-
re_run = (Button) findViewById(R.id.retry);
Below
setContentView().
It looks as though the TextView EndScore (if you could in the future use lower case letters for variables) could not be found within the R.layout.gameover layout.
Be sure that the TextView is actually in that XML file.
Be sure that it is a TextView and not something else, like an EditText or something similar (although I think that would throw a different error).
EndScore is null according to the LogCat.

I have two framelayout in my main.xml file. I add framelayouts to the class that extends Fragment. my main class extends FragmentActivity and this is Oncreate method of it:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
FragmentManager fm =getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft=fm.beginTransaction();
Fragment f=new Freg1();
Fragment f2=new Freg1();
ft.add(R.id.frame1, f);
ft.add(R.id.frame2, f2);
ft.commit();
tf=Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(),"font/Byekan.ttf" );
tv1=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
tv1.setTypeface(tf);
Log.i(TAG,"1");
lv1=(ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
lv2=(ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView2);
Log.i(TAG,"2");
List<String> stringList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(s1));
Log.i(TAG,"3");
ListAdapter listAdapter = new CustomListAdapter(MainActivity.this , R.layout.custom_list ,stringList);
Log.i(TAG,"4");
lv1.setAdapter(listAdapter);
Log.i(TAG,"5");
lv2.setAdapter(listAdapter);
Log.i(TAG,"6");
}
when i run the codes, it crashed after LOG no4. that mean setAdapter() method do not work. how can i resolve this problem?

thank for you that help me to resolve problem.
Your ListView lv1 is null as you can see here:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{...}: java.lang.NullPointerException
....
com.example.taxitabriz.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:55)
The line 55 of MainActivity should be this call: lv1.setAdapter(listAdapter);
Make sure that your listView1 is included within the layout and initialized correctly prior to trying to set an Adapter to it.
Here is the code I use to bring up the activity:
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Giveaway.class));
Here is the Activity that I am bringing up:
public class Giveaway extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
static SharedPreferences settings;
SharedPreferences.Editor prefEditor;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.giveaway);
settings = getSharedPreferences("firsttime", 0);
LinearLayout facebook = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.facebooklayout);
Button later = (Button)findViewById(R.id.later);
Button dontshowagain = (Button)findViewById(R.id.dontshowagain);
facebook.setOnClickListener(this);
later.setOnClickListener(this);
dontshowagain.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.facebooklayout:
Uri localuri = Uri.parse("http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bright-Design/366832480049386");
startActivity(new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", localuri));
break;
case R.id.later:
finish();
break;
case R.id.dontshowagain:
finish();
prefEditor = settings.edit();
prefEditor.putBoolean("showgiveaway", false);
prefEditor.commit();
break;
}
}
I have declared the Activity in my manifest folder:
<activity
android:name=".Giveaway"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Dialog"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>
But I keep getting a java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity java.lang.NullPointerException error. Here is my logcat:

You need to post your layout code, but what is most likely happening is that one of these three lines is returning a null value:
LinearLayout facebook = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.facebooklayout);
Button later = (Button)findViewById(R.id.later);
Button dontshowagain = (Button)findViewById(R.id.dontshowagain);
In the debugger step through those lines and if one is null, there is your problem because as soon as you try to set the on click listener it is going to fail.
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.brightdesign.blackops2.Giveaway.onCreate(Giveaway.java:29)
Tells us that there is a NullPointerException in Giveaway.onCreate(), specifically Giveaway.java line 29. Odds are facebook, later, and/or dontshowagain is really null. Do you have all three of these defined in giveaway.xml?
Try this...
1.
Intent i = new Intent(Your_Activity.this, Another_Activity.class);
startActivity(i);
2. This below lines points to the class and the lines which are null.
Class:
com.brightdesign.blackops2/com.brightdesign.blackops2.Giveaway}: java.lang.NullPointerException
Lines:
Please check the below four lines, i think you are getting null value here.
Uri localuri = Uri.parse("http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bright-Design/366832480049386");
LinearLayout facebook = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.facebooklayout);
Button later = (Button)findViewById(R.id.later);
Button dontshowagain = (Button)findViewById(R.id.dontshowagain);
I know a bunch of people have asked this same thing but I just don't know what's going on. I'm trying to make a calculator in Eclipse, but I keep getting a list of errors.
There are no errors in the file that the program notices, although there is an error in the layout.xml but it hasn't caused a problem before so that shouldn't cause a problem.

This is my coding. It doesn't really do anything yet, but I wanted to just run it to see if it encountered any errors. This is the mainActivity.java file.
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.text.Editable;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

Button Five;
Button Six;
Button One;
Button Two;
Button Three;
Button Zero;
Button Point;
Button Negative;
TextView TextBox;

String z;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

return true;
}
public void onClick(View One) {
if(z == null){
x = 1;
TextBox.setText(x);
TextBox.setText("diggity");
}
else if(z != null) {
y = 1;
TextBox.setText(x);
TextBox.setText(z);
TextBox.setText(y);
}
}
}
line 60: x = (Integer) null;
This line will compile to this bytecode (disassembled by javap):
aconst_null
checkcast #2; //class java/lang/Integer
invokevirtual #3; //Method java/lang/Integer.intValue:()I
Third line will cause a NullPointerException becouse Integer object is actually your null constant :)
Primitive data types (int, long etc.) is the only non-object types in Java. null is used to show that the current variable (Object variable) is not backed by the actual object (no memory was allocated). For primitive types memory allocates immediately so they cant have this null state.
So you should check for "if(x == 0)" or define it as Integer.
P.S. And don't cast null to anything :)
It's like this
you're not getting much errors because the application can't launch. it cannot launch because it's onCreate() cannot finish.
onCreate() cannot finish because of a nullPointerException.
you cast null into integer twice, instead of simply instantiating a new integer which will default to 0. once you get rid of that, it should work.
see?

and i bet that this is line 60
x = (Integer) null;
so change it to
x = new Integer();
when testing my application in the emulator(I'm using Eclipse) it shows me "The application Counter(com.ian.counter) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." when running it. I've searched and searched for an answer but I've found none. Anyone know the problem?
Code:

Any help is appreciated.
You're trying to set the textView1 variable before the layout has been set. You need to define it as a variable and then assign it in onCreate() after you've called setContentView(). Like this:
package com.ian.counter;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class CounterActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
TextView textView1;
int count = 0;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
textView1 = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
}
public void Count(){
count ++;
textView1.setText(Integer.toString(count));
}
}
Just copy and paste the above, that'll work just fine.
You should put this line
textView1 = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
after
setContentView(R.layout.main);
and you just declare TextView in the begining
TextView textView1;
dont try to use findViewById(R.id.textView1); while declaraing instance variable as view does not exist at that point of time.
This is how your code should look like:
TextView textView1 = null;
int count = 0;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
TextView textView1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
}
public void Count(){
count ++;
textView1.setText(Integer.toString(count));
}
I have this code for an expandable list, I want to have a checkbox in the childgroups of the list view, and check if one of the checkboxes is checked.
The problem is that when I check if the checkbox is checked I get a NULL Pointer Exception.
Can you please tell me whats wrong?
here's my code - I've edited the code to inflate a view of the child_row.xml that holds that checkbox but I still get that null pointer, what am I doing wrong?!?!
package send.Shift;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import android.app.ExpandableListActivity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.CompoundButton;
import android.widget.CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener;
import android.widget.ExpandableListView;
import android.widget.SimpleExpandableListAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Shifts extends ExpandableListActivity implements
OnCheckedChangeListener {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.list);
SimpleExpandableListAdapter expListAdapter = new SimpleExpandableListAdapter(
this, createGroupList(), R.layout.group_row,
new String[] { "Group Item" }, new int[] { R.id.row_name },
createChildList(), R.layout.child_row,
new String[] { "Sub Item" }, new int[] { R.id.grp_child });
getExpandableListView().setGroupIndicator(
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.expander_group));
ExpandableListView EX = (ExpandableListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);
EX.setAdapter(expListAdapter);
final CheckBox childBox = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.childBOX);
final TextView choosenGroup = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.choosen);
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(Shifts.this);
View view2 = inflater.inflate(R.layout.child_row, null);
childBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
boolean isChecked) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(childBox.isChecked() == true){
choosenGroup.setText("Shift Set");
}
}
});
}
Here is some of the Logcat log:

If you get a nullpointer on a certain line, something on that line is null. If it is the if(childBox.isChecked() line, probably childBox is null. Hard to say without the stack, but most probable cause is the line where you retrieve that checkbox.
final CheckBox childBox = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.childBOX);
Might be returning null, and this could be for several reasons. It could be your id is childBox instead of childBOX. Or that it is not in R.layout.list.
The best thing you can do is start debugging. What line is the error. Find the object that is null. Find out why it is null and if that is expected or not.
Instead of checking the childBox.isChecked() you can use the isChecked value. So your code would look like this:
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
if(isChecked == true){
choosenGroup.setText("Shift Set");
}
}
Check your layout list.xml I think this layout may is missing android:id="#+id/childBOX" for Check Box or android:id="#+id/choosen" for TextView
Check the folowin sample
<CheckBox android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/childBOX"/>
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/choosen"/>
