Force close when setting onclick

I created a button and assigned it 1 by doing
remove.setId(0 + count);
Then I tried to put that button in my onCreate bundle to use it
Button remove = (Button)findViewById(1);
remove.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
When I create the button remove in my oncreate it runs but as soon as I add my onclick listener I dont get any errors but when I run it it force closes

This is your problem:
Button remove = (Button)findViewById(1);
This should be something like this:
Button remove = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonRemove); // that should be a long int

The crash is likely happening from this line:
Button remove = (Button)findViewById(1);
You'll need to provide a valid ID for a Button within your inflated layout. A value of 1 is not meaningful.

It is taken from Java application I was writing previously (that is why so many comments). How I can access the fileName in Android App? I was trying InputStream, get Assets, etc. but It does not work or I am doing it improperly. Currently it is throwing NullPointerException.

The error says you're getting a NPE (Null Pointer Exception) at com.bachosz.billionaires.MainActivityBillionaires. You need to look at the code section that you use to call that activity. (it is not in your code above - or else we don't know which line with the given information)
Another thing you have to make sure is that you have the appropriate context.
AssetManager assetManage = appContext.getAssets();
String[] filelist = assetManage.list("");

First you should clean up your code, at least to show it here where we don't know what are you doing.
It's easier to understand.
Why are you using assets? In Android the most common way to access resources is the .../res/raw folder.
It makes a reference of the file in the autogenerated R.class so you can access it anywhere.
Make sure your filename is lowercase and has no spaces. If you haven't raw folder under res, create it manually.
Try this:
InputStream inputStream = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.YOURFILE);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
String line = reader.readLine();
while (line != null)
{
// Read file.
}

Firstly: copy YOURFILE to assets folder.
Then, AssetManager assetManage = getAssets();
Then,
InputStream myInput = null;
try {
myInput = assetManager.open("YOURFILE");
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
And finally BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(myInput));
follow the above code step by step.

Getting Integer Value From a TextField

I'm trying to take an RGB value (not hexadecimal, the actual constant value, such as -16711936) from a textfield and display it in a new activity (to use it as an integer). I attempted to do this by converting the string to an integer, but it still ends up crashing the program. Here's the code:

Is it just a syntax error or am I going about this incorrectly? I appreciate the help
NOTE: The value in the textfield is techinically a string I guess, this is the code I used to place it in the field (touchedRGB is an integer value).
RGB.setText(String.valueOf(touchedRGB));
If it makes a difference, this is the XML from this particular section
<TextView
android:id="#+id/RGB"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/green"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/green"
android:layout_marginLeft="40dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/green"
android:text="RGB" />

The problem is, you have a string("RGB") in your textView. So you got a NumberFormatException.
Set an integet value in your textView and try again.
java.lang.NumberFormatException: unable to parse 'RGB' as integer
Edit: Could you try code below?
public void testvalue(View view) {
try{
TextView RGBval = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.RGB);
String valueStoredInRGBvalTextView = RGBval.getText().toString();
int rgb_val_use = Integer.parseInt(valueStoredInRGBvalTextView);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, TestValue.class);
intent.putExtra("RGB_VALUE", (int)rgb_val_use);
startActivity(intent);
} catch (Exception e) {
// Not touched yet
}
}
Edit2:
You are setting the integer touch value to RGB textView after first touch occurs. If you invoke your testvalue method before touching anywhere, you'll get this exception. Change your testvalue method as I wrote above. Your problem will be solved.

try this you cannot cast the int value to String like this -> (int)(rgb_val_use)
change it into new Integer.toString(rgb_val_use);
intent.putExtra("RGB_VALUE",new Integer.toString(rgb_val_use));

Integer rgb = Integer.getInteger((String) RGBval.getText(), null);
if (rgb == null) {
// input string is not integer
} else {
// use rgb to start new activity
}

Android ComponentInfo RuntimeException and NullPointerException

This is doing my head in, and it's probably something simple that's causing it - so I think I need a new set of eyes looking at it.
All activities are defined in the manifest. I've made sure all attributes are initialised in onCreate/constructor.
The 'Circle' object is just a generic object with gets and sets for x, y, radius and colour.
Any help greatly appreciated.

If your custom SurfaceView will have a layout you need to inflate it. On your constructor you have
FrameLayout frame = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.GameContainer);
You are trying to reference a FrameLayout that has not been inflated yet. To inflate the corresponding .xml you need to use a LayoutInflator. You can get a reference to the LayoutInflated via the Context passed in to your SurfaceView. For example like this:
public GameView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int numberCircles){
super(context,attrs);
LayoutInflater inflater =(LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
//replace custom_layout with the name of the .xml file that contains the `FrameLayout` with id R.id.GameContainer
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_layout, (ViewGroup) GameView.this.getParent(), true);
FrameLayout frame = (FrameLayout)v.findViewById(R.id.GameContainer);
//The rest of your code...
}
Also, If you are going to add your GameView to an .xml file you need to use the SurfaceView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) constructor.

Please check your XML that whether you have supplied correct ID for Frame Layout in GameView.java

If condition causing program to force close

I am doing an android app and i was thinking of creating a theme option. Well all I was thinking of doing was to allow the user to click on a image button which represented a theme. And when he clicks on it I start a new activity i.e i direct him to the home page. Also i have created a few integer variables which are set to 1 when the user clicks on a button.
Then in the other classes all i do is check if the variables are 1 or not and depending on that i apply the theme. By theme i mean i just change the background wallpaper. But this is not working. I mean the code works but if use an if loop to check the variable values and then apply the effects it causes an error.
Here's the complete code:
package com.example.themetest;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
ImageButton ib1;
ImageButton ib2;
int water=0;
int fire=0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ib1 = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);
ib2 = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton2);
ib1.setOnClickListener(this);
ib2.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.imageButton1:
water = 1;
Intent wi = new Intent("com.example.themetest.THEME");
startActivity(wi);
break;
case R.id.imageButton2:
fire = 1;
Intent fi = new Intent("com.example.themetest.THEME");
startActivity(fi);
break;
}
}
}
Here's the other class where i check which variable is set to 1 and apply the effect.
package com.example.themetest;
import java.io.InputStream;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
public class Theme extends Activity{
MainActivity main;
Resources res;
Drawable drawable;
LinearLayout linearLayout;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.theme);
if(main.water==1){
res = getResources();
drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.water_theme);
linearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ll);
linearLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
}
else if(main.fire==1){
res = getResources();
drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.fire_theme);
linearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ll);
linearLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
}
else{
res = getResources();
drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
linearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ll);
linearLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
}
}
}
I can change the wallpaper without using the if loop, but i want to do it this way which is not working. Can anyone please tell me why?

I think the better way to do this is pass the name or code of the theme user selected along with the intent.
This might help: Passing data through Intent and receiving it

You cannot access other activities variables this way, a better way (for example) is to use a constant class..
public class Constants {
public static int water=0;
public staticint fire=0;
}
MainActivity:
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.imageButton1:
Constants.water = 1;
Intent wi = new Intent("com.example.themetest.THEME");
startActivity(wi);
break;
case R.id.imageButton2:
Constants.fire = 1;
Intent fi = new Intent("com.example.themetest.THEME");
startActivity(fi);
break;
}
}
Theme:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.theme);
if(Constants.water==1){
res = getResources();
drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.water_theme);
linearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ll);
linearLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
}
else if(Constants.fire==1){
res = getResources();
drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.fire_theme);
linearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ll);
linearLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
}
else{
res = getResources();
drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
linearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ll);
linearLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
}
}
