Cant start a dialog activity from a button in another activity - java

I am trying to start a new activity as a Dialog Activity putting a Intent on a button from another activity. Whenever I try and press the button, the activity unfotunately closes.
Main Activity.java
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button ab = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
ab.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, NewDialog.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
public void side(View view){
android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fm1 = getSupportFragmentManager();
NewDialog newdialog = new NewDialog();
newdialog.show(fm1, "SideDialog");
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/**
* A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
*/
}
NewDialog.java
public class NewDialog extends DialogFragment{
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState){
final View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_new_dialog, container);
getDialog().requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
return view;
}
}

I might be wrong here, but as far as I know, you can't start an Intent passing a DialogFragment, you should pass an Activity. Here's what's wrong:
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, NewDialog.class);
startActivity(intent);
Since NewDialog is declared as a DialogFragment and not as an Activity subclass.
If what you are trying to do is show the dialog, then you should do:
NewDialog dialog = NewDialog();
// use getSupportFragmentManager() if using support fragments instead of native fragments, or
// use getChildFragmentManager() if this code is inside a fragment rather than an activity
dialog.show(getFragmentManager(), "pass-any-string-here");

Without a logcat stacktrace to look at, I am assuming that your issue has to do with variable scope (here is an example explanation on the topic).
What you need to do is declare your button as a class level variable because right now it is a method variable and as such ceases to exist once your onCreate method has finished executing.
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
private Button myButton;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
myButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
myButton.setOnClickListener(...);
...
}
}

ASyncTask with progressdialog and button

I am beginner and I had a test. I did all tasks, but I have a problem -
public class HttpTask extends AsyncTask<Integer, String, String> {####
ProgressDialog dialog;
Context context;
public HttpTask(Activity activity) {
//init progress dialog
dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);****
dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
}
protected void onPreExecute() {
// show progress dialog
dialog.setMessage("Loading...");
dialog.setCancelable(false);
}
protected String doInBackground(Integer... params) {
//freeze system to 5 seconds
try {
int seconds = params[0]*5;####
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(seconds);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(final String success) {
// if there is progress dialog hide it
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
It crashes, when I try to compile it (I showed where are problems with * sign):

Actually, your context is null because you didn't initialize it.
Add one extra line inside your HttpTask:
public HttpTask(Activity activity) {
this.context = activity;
dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
}
and change Context to Activity like this:
Activity context;
Now call this context anywhere in your class.
Yes you must get NullPointer. Because your context is null.
Change this like
public HttpTask(Context _context) {
context = _context;
//init progress dialog
dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);****
dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
}

Send Data from one Activity to another - not Working

I have a TO DO List, and when I check the checkbox in one Activity I want the CheckBox and the text that is next to the Checkbox to go to another Activity. this is my Adapter:
public class MyItemAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
private final Context context;
private final String[] values;
public MyItemAdapter(Context context, String[] values) {
super(context, R.layout.item_list, values);
this.context = context;
this.values = values;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_list, parent, false);
CheckBox textView = (CheckBox) rowView.findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);
textView.setText(values[position]);
return rowView;
}
public static SparseBooleanArray getCheckedItemPositions() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
public static void remove(Object pos) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void changeData(String[] items) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public static void setAdapter(MyItemAdapter mAdapter) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
This is my First Activity code:
final CheckBox check = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);
check.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, FinishedItems.class);
intent.putExtra("check", items);
Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putString("status", "Data Recived");
intent.putExtras(extras);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
This is my Second Activity code:
Intent intent = getIntent();
String check = intent.getStringExtra("check");
((CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.checkBox1)).setText(check);
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
String status = bundle.getString("status");
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, status, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
And Finaly this is my Log cat:

Please Help me
This line of your stacktrace
02-18 10:33:24.789: E/AndroidRuntime(1575): at com.Stanton.quicktodolist.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:70)
points you to the error. Line 70 in the MainActivity causes a null pointer. It is often helpful to study and understand stacktraces. If you cannot figure it out yourself, show us the onCreate method of the MainActivity.
I believe that you replace the intent extra by the bundle extra just try this code and let me know pelase
final CheckBox check = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);
check.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, FinishedItems.class);
intent.putExtra("check", items);
//Bundle extras = new Bundle();
// extras.putString("status", "Data Recived");
intent.putExtras("status", "Data Recived");
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
And the int the second activity
Intent intent = getIntent();
String check = intent.getStringExtra("check");
((CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.checkBox1)).setText(check);
// Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
String status = intent.getStringExtra("status");
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, status, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();

change this line
final Context ctx = (Context) onClickListener;
to below one
final Context ctx = AndroidDetectInternetConnectionActivity.this;
basically you are trying to conver onClickListener to Contex which is incorrect and can not be casted.
Either you directly use ActivityName.this wherever you need context instance, or define static Context ctx as a class variable and intialize it in onCreate()by just adding this line ctx =this also remember to intialize it before using it.
Enjoy
There are two ways to solve this problem.
1) showNoConnectionDialog(this); and later on:
public static void showNoConnectionDialog(Context ctx) ...
2) showNoConnectionDialog(); and later on: public void showNoConnectionDialog() { Context ctx = AndroidDetectInternetConnectionActivity.this
You basic problem is generated by the line:
final Context ctx = (Context) onClickListener;
This is simply not a context so trying to force it to be one doesn't work.
I believe that you wanted to do was pass a context (or activity) to this function (as opposed to the local unnamed OnClickListener class that you are now passing)
The easiest solution would be to simple not pass anything to the constructor and use AndroidDetectInternetConnectionActivity.this to access your valid context.

Activity closes when trying to asyncronously connect to twitter

I have been trying to program a twitter client for Android (using twitter4j). So far the idea is to have a simple GUI, and if there is not a file with the OAuth token in the SD Card, connect to the Twitter API using AsyncTask, get the URL for the authorization and open the default browser. However, the browser never runs. Depending on the different modifications I have made trying to fix this, either the Activity starts normally but the browser never starts or the Activity crashes. I have come to a point of a a little of frustation and confussion. Can someone point out what's wrong with my code?
public class StatusActivity extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "StatusActivity";
EditText editText;
Button updateButton;
File oauthfile = null;
public Context context = getApplicationContext();
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_status);
Log.d(TAG, "started");
// Find views
editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText); //
updateButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonUpdate);
oauthfile = new File("sdcard/auth_file.txt");
//Check if the file with the keys exist
if (oauthfile.exists()==false){
Log.d(TAG, "file not created");
Context context = getApplicationContext();
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "file not created.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
new Authorization(context).execute();
}
}
public void openBrowser (View v){
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
startActivity(browserIntent);
Log.d(TAG, "onclick");
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.status, menu);
return true;
}
}
class Authorization extends AsyncTask <String, Integer, String>{
String url = null;
private Context context;
Authorization(Context context) {
this.context = context.getApplicationContext();
}
public void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
Toast.makeText(context, "Invoke onPreExecute()", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public String doInBackground(String... params) {
ConfigurationBuilder configBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
configBuilder.setDebugEnabled(true)
//I have eliminated the keys from the question :)
.setOAuthConsumerKey("XXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
.setOAuthConsumerSecret("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
Twitter OAuthTwitter = new TwitterFactory(configBuilder.build()).getInstance();
RequestToken requestToken = null;
AccessToken accessToken = null;
do{
try {
requestToken = OAuthTwitter.getOAuthRequestToken();
url = requestToken.getAuthorizationURL();
}
catch (TwitterException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
while (accessToken==null);
return url;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
Toast.makeText(context, "Opening browser.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_ALL_APPS, Uri.parse(url));
context.startActivity(browserIntent);
}
}
I know that at least checks if the file for the tokens exists because the toast "file not created" appears, and that the activity is able to run the browser if I press the button. The app has permissions to write in the SD card and use the Internet. Thanks in advance.

This is what is causing your crash.
public Context context = getApplicationContext();
You're not even using it when you need it, so you can just get rid of this line.
Btw, something else I noticed while looking at your code is this:
oauthfile = new File("sdcard/auth_file.txt");
Don't take the "sdcard/" path for granted. Use this instead:
File dir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File oauthfile = new File(dir, "auth_file.txt");

Thanks for help.
You are calling to the toString method of the Bundle instead of retrieving the string stored on it. In addition, you are trying to get a Bundle with a key that is stored into it. Try chaning
String nome = intent.getBundleExtra("nome").toString();
String cognome = intent.getBundleExtra("cognome").toString();
to
Bundle bundle = intent.getBundleExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
if (bundle != null) {
String nome = bundle.getString("nome");
String cognome = bundle.getString("cognome");
}
Take in consideration that if the intent received is not your, and it comes with no Bundle, or a different one, your nome and cognome strings will be null, not empty strings.
The logcat shows the problem at-
com.example.startactivity/com.example.startactivity.DisplayMessageActivity
So, the best guess is the nome and cognome values might be null at the point where you set the text in the texviews in the DisplayMessageActivity
Try adding a debug point at the line with text
String nome = intent.getBundleExtra("nome").toString();
and see for any null values.
Hope this jelps
Change MainActivity code to
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.example.startactivity.MESSAGE";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Intent intent = new Intent(this,DisplayMessageActivity.class);
EditText edit_nome = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_nome);
EditText edit_cognome = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_cognome);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("nome", edit_nome.getText().toString());
bundle.putString("cognome", edit_cognome.getText().toString());
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, bundle);
startActivity(intent);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
Make sure that entry in manifest file:
<activity android:name=".DisplayMessageActivity"></activity>
