Android Java NullPointerException while albumlist.add() initiates. and list is also Initialised [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?

Closed 6 years ago.
When I run the program I get NullPointerException on the line albumlist.add(0, recentAlbum). I have checked other classes which is good and I even initialized the list But i cant figure out where I went wrong.

Initialize albumList array list like this:
private List<Category> albumsList = new ArrayList<>();

Attempt to invoke interface method 'java.util.Iterator java.util.List.iterator()' on a null object reference
In a nutshell, you are trying to use a null variable,which will through NullPointerException.
private List<Category> albumsList; that you declare was not initiated yet, so you need to initialize it as follows:
private List<Category> albumsList = new ArrayList<>();

How to use back pressed options fragment to fragment in android

Back press is not working from fragment to fragment.(my application contains navigation drawer and Tab view.) My Main Activity code is given below.i have added the back press method please help me....

**Edited Code:**
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.replace(R.id.frame_container, fragment);
// Add this transaction to the back stack, so when the user presses back,// it rollbacks.
ft.commit();
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
setTitle(navMenuTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
} else {
// error in creating fragment
Log.e("MainActivity", "Error in creating fragment");
}
}
#Override
public void setTitle(CharSequence title) {
mTitle = title;
getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
}
private void addListenerOnButton() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.actionBarLogo);
image.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Fragment fd2 = new MovieActivity();
android.app.FragmentTransaction ft2 =
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft2.replace(R.id.frame_container, fd2);
ft2.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN);
ft2.addToBackStack(null);
ft2.commit();
}
});
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
int count = getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
if (count == 0) {
super.onBackPressed();
}
else {
getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
// Pass any configuration change to the drawer toggls
mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
}

Inside your activity which handles all the fragments , use
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
int count = getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
if (count == 0) {
super.onBackPressed();
}
else {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
}
When the fragment backstack entry count is 0 , it means all the fragments are popped out of the backstack. So you just execute the super.onBackPressed() then. However when the stack is not empty , when you press back button you need to pop the top most fragment from the backstack so that proper back navigation happens.
Note : use getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() instead of getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() if you are importing android.app.Fragment.
Edit
Now that you have changed your onBackPressed() code , next thing to do is change this in your code.
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.frame_container, fragment);
// Add this transaction to the back stack, so when the user presses back,// it rollbacks.
ft.addToBackStack("Give a Tag for the fragment here");
ft.commit();
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
setTitle(navMenuTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
} else {
// error in creating fragment
Log.e("MainActivity", "Error in creating fragment");
}
Basically what we are doing here is adding a particular fragment to the fragment backstack while replacing it so that while onBackPressed() of activity is executed count variable will store the number of fragments present in the fragment backstack , and proper back navigation occurs then.

Fragment duplicates when I go to another Fragment

Actually, this is my main problem. I've got a NavigationDrawer and I was changing lot of things about it; because I've added a TabHostFragment inside of it. The problem is when I'm in one Fragment, I've an ActionBar icon that goes to another Fragment. At the time to do this, it works perfect; but when I go to another Fragment, it still on the back of the new Fragment. I tried to put a BackGround color of each Fragment and it isn't visible.
The problem is that the transaction is OK; but when I'm in the other Fragment, when I press in a BlankSpace (For example) and on the old Fragment has a button here with a Toast, it's still showing this Toast on the new Fragment.
Here are a little examples of what happens maybe with images, you can understand better my question:
This main problem comes when I go trough this Fragment (I call it on MainActivity) that has no sense; because I want to call it when I'm on a specific Fragment; but it's in the only part that I can call this Fragment...
This is the MainActivity, where I call this FragmentTransaction:
case R.id.newOffer:
android.app.FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
android.app.FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.frame_container, new TipusNouProducte());
ft.commit();
return true;
And by the way, I leave here the code from my NavigationDrawer for you that always when I'm going through a Fragment, it says "Error on creating Fragment":
private void displayView(int position) {
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
setTitle(navMenuTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
Fragment fragment = null;
switch (position) {
case 0:
fragment = new TabHostFragment();
break;
case 1:
fragment = new LocalizacionFragment();
break;
case 2:
fragment = new ListaProductosFragment();
break;
case 3:
fragment = new ConfiguracionFragment(this);
break;
case 4:
fragment = new AyudaSugerenciasFragment();
break;
case 5:
fragment = new AyudaSugerencias();
break;
case 6:
finish();
break;
default:
break;
}
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.frame_container, fragment).commit();
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
setTitle(navMenuTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
} else {
// error in creating fragment
Log.e("MainActivity", "Error in creating fragment");
}
}
If you need more code that you think can cause this problem, feel free to ask me; then I'll update ASAP.

I'm not certain that this is the cause of your problem, but one thing that's definitely wrong is the use of the native FragmentManager instead of the one from the support library.
In your code, replace
case R.id.newOffer:
android.app.FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
android.app.FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.frame_container, new TipusNouProducte());
ft.commit();
return true;
with
case R.id.newOffer:
android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.frame_container, new TipusNouProducte());
ft.commit();
return true;
You have used the support library's FragmentManager at other places in your code, so you should continue to use that everywhere.
Also, TipusNouProducte should extend android.support.v4.app.Fragment and NOT
android.app.Fragment.
I will update this answer if I find more issues.

Why getting getActionBar null in android [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
getActionBar() returns null
(25 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I want to get instance of action bar but getting the value null and because of that my whole program is not running.
My code where I have included this method is:
When my code jumps to line where action bar is needed it gives me null pointer exception

once check your minSdkVersion.

How do I add buttons, switches etc. to an android app drawer?

How do I add buttons, switches, seekbars etc. to an android app drawer?
I know how to add text to the listview but I'm finding the above very difficult. I have my current app drawer below. What changes would you suggest to accomplish the above.
Code:
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// Within which the entire activity is enclosed
DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
// ListView represents Navigation Drawer
ListView mDrawerList;
// ActionBarDrawerToggle indicates the presence of Navigation Drawer in the action bar
ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
// Title of the action bar
String mTitle="";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mTitle = (String) getTitle();
// Getting reference to the DrawerLayout
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawer_list);
// Getting reference to the ActionBarDrawerToggle
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle( this,
mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.ic_drawer,
R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close){
/** Called when drawer is closed */
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
/** Called when a drawer is opened */
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
getActionBar().setTitle("Select a river");
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
};
// Setting DrawerToggle on DrawerLayout
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
// Creating an ArrayAdapter to add items to the listview mDrawerList
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
getBaseContext(),
R.layout.drawer_list_item ,
getResources().getStringArray(R.array.rivers)
);
// Setting the adapter on mDrawerList
mDrawerList.setAdapter(adapter);
// Enabling Home button
getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
// Enabling Up navigation
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
// Setting item click listener for the listview mDrawerList
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent,
View view,
int position,
long id) {
// Getting an array of rivers
String[] rivers = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.rivers);
//Currently selected river
mTitle = rivers[position];
// Creating a fragment object
RiverFragment rFragment = new RiverFragment();
// Creating a Bundle object
Bundle data = new Bundle();
// Setting the index of the currently selected item of mDrawerList
data.putInt("position", position);
// Setting the position to the fragment
rFragment.setArguments(data);
// Getting reference to the FragmentManager
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
// Creating a fragment transaction
FragmentTransaction ft = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
// Adding a fragment to the fragment transaction
ft.replace(R.id.content_frame, rFragment);
// Committing the transaction
ft.commit();
// Closing the drawer
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
/** Handling the touch event of app icon */
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

You can use this library for your drawer library
or if you want this drawer then put one linearlayout and then put you views inside that.
SlidingMenu menu = new SlidingMenu(this);
menu.setMode(SlidingMenu.LEFT);
menu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_MARGIN);
menu.setShadowWidthRes(R.dimen.shadow_width);
menu.setBehindOffsetRes(R.dimen.slidingmenu_offset);
menu.setFadeDegree(0.35f);
menu.attachToActivity(this, SlidingMenu.SLIDING_CONTENT);
menu.setMenu(R.layout.side_panel);
Now in the side panel layout put your views in side that now for view side panel use this:
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
int itemId = item.getItemId();
switch (itemId) {
case android.R.id.home:
if (menu != null) {
menu.toggle();
}
break;
}
return true;
}
for initializing side panel data use this:
menu.findViewById(R.id.your_view_id).setOnClickListener(this);
and override onclick event and handle that you want.
for further information see the example in the github.
