Hey BULLET, you seem to be on the right track but you've got a bit of tweaking to do.
Firstly, you need to tie all of your UI elements from XML to your activity. Do this in your on create method. My guess is that your force close is due to this line:
Code:
double a = Double.parseDouble(txtNum1.getText().toString()) ;
Your activity has no idea what txtNum1 is tied to, only that it is an EditText object. To set this up properly, keep your global edit text declarations and below is an example of what you'd add to your onCreate method:
Code:
txtNum1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtNum1);
You would need to do the same for your buttons and all of the elements that you have defined in your XML layout which you want to modify from your activity. (May I also suggest that you use a TextView instead of EditText to display the answer...)
Code:
Button buttonSubtract;
...
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
buttonSubtract = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSub);
...
}
You must also add methods for your buttons to wait for a click and perform the calculation methods you have written. To do this you would set up and onClickListener for each button.
I found TheNewBoston tutorials really handy when starting out. Here is an example of tying together the buttons and actions that they perform. It is very close to what you are trying to do.

Hope it helps. Feel free to ask any more questions.

Changed thing in accordance with video but still getting fc.
If possible could anyone paste the correct codes in my style?
BTW here are the code
strings.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<string name="app_name">CalcPlus</string>
<string name="action_settings">Settings</string>

<string name="btns">-</string>
<string name="btnm">*</string>
<string name="btnd">/</string>
<string name="txt2">Enter number 2 here</string>
<string name="txt1">Enter number 1 here</string>
<string name="txta">Result</string>

I haven't touched the other files. Hope you get it working.

Works perfectly thank you.
Just tried to add dialog and clear, exit buttons but getting fc again. Please look into . I am really excited to make my first app.

Please help me out!

Instead of having people fix your errors, how about posting your logcat so we can give you ideas on how to fix them. You won't learn how to debug by having other people do it for you. Also, on your exit button click, all you need to do is "finish();" the activity. You don't need to launch an intent because then your app technically never terminates.

So here is the logcat
Code:
04-23 10:31:20.509: E/Trace(3960): error opening trace file: No such file or directory (2)
04-23 10:32:31.009: E/AndroidRuntime(4130): ... 11 more

This is not the part of the logcat we need.
If you want to finish the activity from the Listener, use that:
Code:
MainActivity.this.finish();

It is a similar mistake. You cannot do anything related with Android views in your field declarations.
You need to do it in your onCreate method, if you load the layout from a xml, after the setContentView method. So change it to this:
MainActivity.java
Code:
package com.ptx.calcplus;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private EditText txtN1;
private EditText txtN2;
private EditText txtAn;
private Button Add, Sub, Div, Mul, Clr, Ext;
private AlertDialog.Builder dlgAlert;
double a = 0, b = 0, c = 0;
[user=439709]@override[/user]
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Add = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnAdd);
... //your other stuff
dlgAlert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
...
This should work. Try it.

You're targetting min sdk of 8, which doesn't allow checking if string ".isEmpty()", which IF I'M NOT WRONG, is not included in older version of Android due to different version of Java. So I've changed it to check if the length is less than 0 before calculating.
Code:
.length() < 1
Secondly, you're converting the values of the Textbox BEFORE you check if the input is empty or not. Check before converting. Because if your input is empty, it is unable to convert a NULL into a double.
Lastly, one small error. Your DIVIDE is still PLUS. I've corrected it for you.
Sorry for the late reply! Hope there ain't any error.
Oh, one small tip. Try reading up "Try and Catch" for Android. Good for preventing force closing of apps.

@nikwen @frenzyboi
Thank you to both of you from the bottom of my heart.
Really feeling awesome after seeing my first app running and rocking.
Any tips for what to do next?
Once again thank you to both of you!!
Sincere Regards

You are welcome.
My tips (because you asked me ):
I have started many projects and finished few of them.
The point is: Make an app you NEED or one you think of "That would be VERY cool".
The ones I have needed have always been the ones I have finished.
Good luck.
(Maybe consider creating a game or build an app that does annoying things automatically which you normally have to do yourself.)

I agree with nikwen. The apps you use will be the apps you finish. My advice to you would be to start your calculator over. Try to do it from start to finish and add features or improve on ones you currently have. For instance, add a feature that logs your input and calculation similar to the calculators that print on what they are doing on paper. Once you get the basics down, then you should move on to something more advanced.
Learn and love your logcats. It will help you so much in the debug process.

[Q] What is wrong with my project?

Hi all, I'm fairly new to Java and my overall coding skills are not as advanced as I'd like them to be but I really would appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem.
My first goal is to code an application for Android which measures the acceleration (X, Y, Z directions) and displays the values in a TextView.
There will be other user configurable options like unit conversion or limits with audio warnings etc. later on.
Right now I only have a few lines of code and the application already force closes right after starting.
I am posting my MainActivity.java, my activity_main.xml and the sensoractivity2 Manifest. Please point me in the right direction!
MainActivity.java:
Code:
package com.example.sensoractivity2;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener{
private SensorManager sensorManager;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
sensorManager=(SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
}
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
float x, y, z = 0;
if (event.sensor.getType()==Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) {
x=event.values[0];
y=event.values[1];
z=event.values[2];
TextView tx = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
tx.setText((int) x);
TextView ty = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
ty.setText((int) y);
TextView tz = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);
tz.setText((int) z);
}
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor arg0, int arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
activity_main.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="X-Wert" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Y-Wert" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Z-Wert" />
</LinearLayout>
sensoractivity2 Manifest:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.sensoractivity2"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">

<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

First thing I see is that you are not setting your view in your activity classes "oncreate" method. Can you post your logcat output when the app force closes? That will help the most.

Could you please post a logcat?
Just the lines of your app. Get it using the logcat view in Eclipse.

Look at the bold for changes that will help you. When you are working with view objects, you shouldn't create the object in a listener or something that is called over and over. You will be creating a memory leak.
Code:
package com.example.sensoractivity2;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener{
private SensorManager sensorManager;
[B]TextView tx = null;
TextView ty = null;
TextView tz = null;[/B]
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
sensorManager=(SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
[B] setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);[/B]
sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
[B]tx = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
ty = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
tz = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);[/B]
}
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
float x, y, z = 0;
if (event.sensor.getType()==Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) {
x=event.values[0];
y=event.values[1];
z=event.values[2];
[B]tx.setText((int) x);
ty.setText((int) y);
tz.setText((int) z);[/B]
}
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor arg0, int arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}

The logcat states a nullpointer error. I believe my corrections will fix at least that error.

It needs to be
Code:
tx.setText(String.valueOf(x));
ty.setText(String.valueOf(y));
tz.setText(String.valueOf(z));
If you pass an int, the TextView thinks that it is a resource id. That is why you need to convert it to a String first.

I over looked the bold part. When setting text for a Textview, it has to be in string format. There is no implied conversion.
Code:
package com.example.sensoractivity2;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener{
private SensorManager sensorManager;
TextView tx = null;
TextView ty = null;
TextView tz = null;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
sensorManager=(SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
tx = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
ty = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
tz = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);
}
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
float x, y, z = 0;
if (event.sensor.getType()==Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) {
x=event.values[0];
y=event.values[1];
z=event.values[2];
tx.setText[B](Integer.toString(x)[/B]);
ty.setText([B]Integer.toString(y)[/B]);
tz.setText([B]Integer.toString(z)[/B]);
}
}

Yes! That did the trick! Now my next problem is that I only see one value instead of three, from there on I will try to move on by myself.

Sorry, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but you aren't overriding your onCreate method? Could that have anything to do with it?

He does:

He just did not wrote the @override annotation before that. As far as i know, you do not have to use it.
EDIT: Yep, it does not matter. See this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/94361/when-do-you-use-javas-override-annotation-and-why
It says that it is just for ensuring that you are overriding the right method and for making the code easier to read.

Hi all, I am a bit further with my project since I found some time to work on it again.
//edit, force closes on starting fixed!
Here is what it is supposed to be doing: It reads the x, y and z values for acceleration from the LINEAR_ACCELERATION sensor. If a certain value is exceeded a timer will be started. If the amount of seconds the timer counts is higher than a defined threshold, it will play the default notifcation sound.
If the value from the sensor is below the threshold, it will stop the timer. The whole timer thing isn't working, the notification is played as soon as the normal acceleration threshold is passed and the time is ignored.
Please review my code below and tell me what I'm not seeing here, note that I'm still a noob.
Also I'm interested in a method to capture the maximum values read from the sensor and put it in a textview, can you help me?

Yay German code (live there, too) xD Initialise your seconds in your onCreate, it's much nicer and probably the problem. A method gets the highest value the sensor measured would be a simple
Code:
double savedVal=0; //or any other type
private void updateMaxVal(){
double currentVal =// get the value from the specific sensor
if(savedVal<currentVal) {
savedVal = currentVal;
// maybe save the time as well
}
You'd have to put that method in the onsensorchanged so it will be called often. Then update your text View with the new saved value

Hey fellow German!
If I initialise the seconds variable in the onCreate part it says that the variable is not being used (yellow marking) and in the code below I get an error obviously stating that the variable is unknown. ^^
I have three different values, how can I link the x, y and z variables in the method and how can I make sure the variables are known inside of the method? (Same problem as above)

Since I don't know how to do it with a method I just wrote the following code in my onsensorchanged part, the problem is that the max value textviews always show the same as the current value textviews:
float savedValX = 0;
float savedValY = 0;
float savedValZ = 0;
float currentValX = event.values[0];
float currentValY = event.values[1];
float currentValZ = event.values[2];
if (savedValX < currentValX) {
savedValX = currentValX;
xM.setText("X max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(currentValX * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
if (savedValY < currentValY) {
savedValY = currentValY;
yM.setText("Y max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(currentValY * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
if (savedValZ < currentValZ) {
savedValZ = currentValZ;
zM.setText("Z max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(currentValZ * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
Also I still have the problem that my seconds interval is being ignored.
//edit, fixed it! Now I only need the max value method.

OK so I now understand what you are trying to do with your Chronometer, the problem is that you reinitialize it every time the onSensorChanged is called so if you then ask for the seconds it has just started. To fix this, you could set an onChronometerTickListener and set your textViews in that method. To avoid recreating the Chrono use
Code:
if(chrono==null){
chrono = new Chronometer();
chrono.start();
}
If u don't want the tick listener or it doesn't work ( haven't used it yet) you can put your if(seconds<...)in the else {}of above method. But remember that the onSensorChanged is called EVERYTIME the sensor registers a change, this might be very often or just sometimes, so there is no guarantee that the text views will be updated if the else clause in that method is used
PS forget about the initializing of the seconds, I don't know what I was thinking yesterday, but I guess it was too late ...
/*edit:
What I meant with
Code:
double savedVal=0; //or any other type
private void updateMaxVal(){
is that you save your value in your class ("globally"), so that it is accessible to the whole class.
and to do it nicely you can do it like this:
Code:
float savedValX = 0;
float savedValY = 0;
float savedValZ = 0;
boolean change = false;
private void updateMaxVals(SensorEvent event){ // call this method in your onSensorChanged
change = false;
savedValX = getMax(event.values[0], savedValX);
if(change){
xM.setText("X max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(savedValX * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
savedValY = getMax(event.values[1], savedValY);
if(change){
yM.setText("Y max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(savedValY * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
savedValZ = getMax(event.values[2], savedValZ);
if(change){
yM.setText("Z max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(savedValZ * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
}
private float getMax(float currentVal, float savedVal){
if(currentVal > savedVal){
change = true;
return currentVal;
}else{
change = false;
return savedVal;
}
}

NullPointerException at findPreference

I'm creating a new FragmentPreference and then I want add a OnClickListener to an Preference:
My PreferenceFragment-Class:
Code:
public class PreferencesFragment extends PreferenceFragment {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);
}
}
And my FragmentActivity:
Code:
public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
PreferencesFragment frag = new PreferencesFragment();
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(android.R.id.content, frag).commit();
Preference deleteLocalDataPref = frag.findPreference("deleteLocalData");
deleteLocalDataPref.setOnPreferenceClickListener(Pref_OnClickhandler);
}
OnPreferenceClickListener Pref_OnClickhandler = new OnPreferenceClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference arg0) {
new DeleteSettings().execute();
return false;

Why I get a NullPointerException? The Preference does exist...
Code:
<Preference
android:key="deleteLocalData"
android:summary="@string/pref_delete_local_data_summary"
android:title="@string/pref_delete_local_data" />

What happens when you comment the line you think is offending? And which line are you commenting?
Please give a thanks if you think this post helped you!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 Mobile App .

When I comment the lines
Code:
Preference deleteLocalDataPref = frag.findPreference("deleteLocalData");
deleteLocalDataPref.setOnPreferenceClickListener(Pref_OnClickhandler);
my preferences are shown correctly.

OK, I changed some parts. This is what works for me:
Code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.Preference;
import android.preference.PreferenceFragment;
public class SettingsActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.settings);
PreferenceFragment preferenceFragment = (PreferenceFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.pref_frag_id);
Preference deleteLocalDataPref = preferenceFragment.findPreference("deleteLocalData");
deleteLocalDataPref.setOnPreferenceClickListener(Pref_OnClickhandler);
}
Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener Pref_OnClickhandler = new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {
@Override

</PreferenceScreen>
I changed the way the Fragment is added. If you need to do it dynamically, have a look at a tutorial again and follow it closely.
You don't need to use a PreferenceActivity. The PreferenceFragment kind of replaced it. It is more flexible (it can be added to any kind of Activity) and the PreferenceActivity should only be used for apps which are supposed to work on Android versions below 3.0.

[Q] Problem with simple android app with VideoView?

Hello,
I am trying to build an Android Studio project based on a simple example from the web with VideoView. Everything seems OK, the project builds successfully but both in the emulator and on my device it gives an error: "Unfortunately [myapp] has stopped". This is getting really frustrating, I've searched the Internet for similar errors but didn't find any solution to my case. I think the code is ok but there is something with the settings because I imported the project from a web example:

Classnotfound exception
You didn't post the SelectActivity.java for this.
Did you create this ?
Please share the content for the SelectActivity.java class.

Change the below codes :
Code:
if (playFromUrlButton.isPressed()) {
Intent i = new Intent(SelectActivity.this, URLVideoActivity.class);
SelectActivity.this.startActivity(i);
} else if (playOnYouTubeButton.isPressed()) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse([B][I]"<Youtbe page>[/I][/B]"));
SelectActivity.this.startActivity(i);
}
To this:
Code:
if (playFromUrlButton.isPressed()) {
Intent i = new Intent(SelectActivity.this, URLVideoActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
} else if (playOnYouTubeButton.isPressed()) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse([B][I]"<Youtbe page>[/I][/B]"));
startActivity(i);
}

Can you try to run this app on your phone and see if it works?

It doesn't work neither on emulator nor on my tablet - same error.

[Q]Parcelable Object return BadParcelableException: ClassNotFoundException

I have a problem when I write pracelable object and receive from another application that I wrote. Everytime when I tried to get the object it always turned out to be BadParcelableException: ClassNotFoundException when unmarshalling.
I've been looking around and wonder if it turned out bad when I send to another application. Or it's simply I had error in my codes.
Please tell me where did I go wrong.
Note: please understand that I have been looking for answer for this for a while and I still can't find where is my problem is. I looked up many people's code and tested out many times but still can't get my app right. So that is why I am here to ask help. If some people still think I am a lazy noob, I guess I am too lazy for some people to draw that conclusion. I should reconsider of my action again.
My situation is:
I wrote 2 apps and one is sending a parcelable object to another application. First app it's working correctly to send the object to another. However, as the second app receive it, it goes wrong and gives out the BadParcelableException as I run the process. I am not using bundle because I saw many examples that it is not necessary to do so. If I have been wrong please correct me. Both app contains the ParcelableObject class.

I have a problem when I write pracelable object and receive from another application that I wrote. Everytime when I tried to get the object it always turned out to be BadParcelableException: ClassNotFoundException when unmarshalling.
I've been looking around and wonder if it turned out bad when I send to another application. Or it's simply I had error in my codes.
Please tell me where did I go wrong.
Note: please understand that I have been looking for answer for this for a while and I still can't find where is my problem is. I looked up many people's code and tested out many times but still can't get my app right. So that is why I am here to ask help. If some people still think I am a lazy noob, I guess I am too lazy for some people to draw that conclusion. I should reconsider of my action again.
My situation is:
I wrote 2 apps and one is sending a parcelable object to another application. First app it's working correctly to send the object to another. However, as the second app receive it, it goes wrong and gives out the BadParcelableException as I run the process. I am not using bundle because I saw many examples that it is not necessary to do so. If I have been wrong please correct me. Both app contains the ParcelableObject class.
Send object lines:
Code:
Intent intent = new Intent();
ParcelableObjectmyObject = newParcelableObject();
myObject = newParcelableObject(result_name, resut_lv, result_race,
result_job, result_nation, result_guild, result_mission);
intent.putExtra("ACTION_DATA_TRANSFER",myObject);
intent.setClassName(target_app, target_app+".ReceiveMain");
startActivity(intent);

Hello,
Parcable objects are not very convenient. I have used these kind of objects in previous apps and it was a pain ...
I move to JSON objects to communicate between Activities and (in your case) between apps. No need to share same object between apps because you manage only JSON / String.
I guess you would have a lot of refactoring to do if you move to JSON but I think it is a good way overall if you are stucked for a while.
What do you think about it ?
Regards,
