Android - IllegalStateException: could not execute method of the activity - java

I know that this is question had been asked several time, but I saw that the answer always change in relation to the code.
So, I have GameActivity that retrieve informations from a database in the global "info" variable, that is a String[].
Next I need to replace the current fragment with another fragment in relation to the button pressed (see methods "trueAnswer" and "falseAnswer"), and set two TextViews of that new fragment with the informations retrieved in the "info" string array.
The problem is that I'm able to set the informations the first time, in the first fragment in the method onStart() when the activity is created, but then seems like the "info" array is empty, because the "if" in the methods "trueAnswer" and "falseAnswer" doesn't works, and when I try to set the TextViews in the new fragment with the method "changeText(String, String)", the app crashes and return a NullPointerExeption.
I can't really see where is the error in the code, so I post here my methods and the logCat, hoping that may help you too.

Thank you very much in advance

You're creating a new fragment and immediately calling changeText() on it. The fragment transaction that creates the fragment view, calling the lifecycle callbacks such as onCreateView(), has not yet been run.
Consider passing arguments to your fragmens using a bundle and not call fragment methods directly outside fragment lifecycle.

You are calling
newFragment.changeText(info[1], info[0]);
too soon. You need to wait till the Fragment is attached to the Activity. Your views are null.
Also use .equalsto compare strings instead of == .
if(info[2].equals("1"))

App crashes on launch in emulator

I'm new in android development and I'm trying to build a kind of book listing kind of app for a project in my class. The prof's favorite motto is "whatever you don't know google it". That's not bad when you semi-know what to do but since we are learning java along with android development that's not helpful since java can seem a bit alien.
Anyways basing my app in a contact app this is how my MainActivity looks
//MainActivity.java

//displays LibraryFragment when MainActivity first loads
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
//if layout contains fragmentContainer, the phone layout is in use. Create and display
//a LibraryFragment
if (savedInstanceState == null && findViewById(R.id.fragmentContainer) != null) {
//create LibraryFragment
libraryFragment = new LibraryFragment();
//add the fragment to the FrameLayout
FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.add(R.id.fragmentContainer, libraryFragment);
transaction.commit(); //displays LibraryFragment
}
else {
libraryFragment =
(LibraryFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().
findFragmentById(R.id.DetailFragment);
}
}
public boolean isExternalStorageReadable() {
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state) ||

}
//use a FragmentTransaction to display the AddEditFragment
FragmentTransaction transaction =
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(viewID, addEditFragment);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit(); //causes AddEditFragment to display
}
//return to book list when displayed book deleted
#Override
public void onBookDeleted() {
//removes top of back stack
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
libraryFragment.updateLibrary(); //refresh book list
}
//displays the AddEditFragment to edit an existing book. Maybe it can be used as Move or sth
/*#Override

any help is appreciated
You just need to set the content view after setting the toolbar. You can write like this :
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
The app is crashing because you are first setting the view and then setting the toolbar.

In your styles.xml file, change your theme parent to NoActionBar if you are using Toolbar.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

My App is crashing on startup and i have no clue why. Gradle build runs fine without any errors

I'm making an app that by now should save and then get the value of a numeric Edit Text. When i put to load data from string.xml it went fine, but when i switched to SharedPreferences it didn't even start. Any help finding the problem would be appreciated. BTW .java is below and i'm sure layout .xml is fine.

The problem is that you are calling findViewById and getSharedPreferences before layout has been applied and the activity (this) was initialized. You should put those method calls in onCreate after setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);.
Dejan is right about moving part of the code into the onCreate lifecycle method, specifically, your code should change to something like this:
package programmingandroidapps.brightnesscustomizationapp;

Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo - AndroidStudio

I am a complete beginner to android/Java development and I massively appreciate any pointers anyone is able to give me on the issue I'm having. Here is the MainActivity.java.

EditText enterName;
TextView usersName;
String str = enterName.getText().toString();

enterName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.enterName);
usersName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.helloNameView);
usersName.setText(str);

From others posts online I have come to the conclusion that the problem is related to abstract methods? I was unable to work out how my code was wrong.
Cheers,
Harris
String str = enterName.getText().toString();
enterName is null at this point, as you are not setting it ever. You are welcome to declare String str; as a field, but you cannot initialize it until after you set a value on enterName.
You have code to initialize enterName in a somewhat strange getName() method, but you do not appear to be calling that ever.
you have not initialised entername properly
either use:
....
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
enterName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.enterName);
usersName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.helloNameView);
usersName.setText(str);
}
...
or use it like this:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
getName();
}
public void getName(){
enterName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.enterName);
usersName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.helloNameView);
usersName.setText(str);
}
You call enterName.getText() when enterName is null, which leads to NullPointerException.
Few things I suggest:
If you want to own references to the layout components, call these in the onCreate method:
enterName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.enterName);
usersName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.helloNameView);
Don't call methods in the class itself (except some constructors), call them in a method (I refer to the str variable).
how possible you are setting your str using enterName, as enterName is not initialized and hence it is null causing Null pointer exception
you must have to initilize enterName before using it, as you are doing initialization in your getName() method, and then use it to get its text
your code must be like this and you have to call this method from onCreate()
public void getName(View view){
enterName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.enterName);
usersName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.helloNameView);
usersName.setText(enterName.getText().toString());
}

NullPointerException Caused by getActionBar()

Trying to set up the Navigation Drawer of an app right now, and every time I try to run the app on my Android device, I get a NullPointerException. The error is caused by getActionBar.setDisplayHomeUpAsEnabled(true) and getActionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true)

First, if getActionBar() in an Activity is returning null, then you do not have a native action bar in your activity.
Second, android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle does not work with the native action bar. It works with the appcompat-v7 action bar backport. If you are going to use android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle, then you have to move your app over to use appcompat-v7:
Add appcompat-v7 as a dependency
Inherit from ActionBarActivity instead of Activity
Call getSupportActionBar() rather than getActionBar()
Use Theme.AppCompat (or something that inherits from it) as your activity's theme
I had the same error as you. My solution was to set theme with ThemeAppCompat, make your activity extend AppCompatActivity and use the method of getSupportActionBar instead of using the method of getActionBar. In short, you should make sure the actionBar of theme and the method which to get actionBar have the same support library.
