App crashes when when calling a method - Java for Android App Development

Hello,
So I am new to Java programming and I want to develop a small and simple app for plant identification. But the app crashes when I call a function wich set the text of a TextView. It happens in the OnCreate when I switch to a second activity. I tried to call the method with only comments in it. It also works when I create a new instance of the MainActivity class. It crashes when I try to set the text of a TextView from the MainActivity layout. It is probably a simple and basic problem, but I've been searching for my error for hours now and I still can't get it. I want to understand what's wrong and move on the the next step
I use the layout of MainActivity in Morphe activity.
Code:
package com.gobtron.cleidfougeres;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Morphe extends MainActivity {
TextView MorphTextTop;
TextView LongFrondeTextTop;
TextView FormeLimbeTextTop;
TextView DisposFrondeTextTop;
TextView DescTextTop;
TextView EspeceTextTop;
TextView textView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TopText topText = new TopText();
topText.SetText();
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_morphe, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
And this is the code for the method in TopText method (located in TopText.java)
Code:
public class TopText {
public void SetText() {
MainActivity mainac = new MainActivity();
mainac.MorphTextTop.setText("eeeee");
}
}

Though you haven't posted a stack trace but I'm pretty sure a NullPointerException is being thrown in your code and this is because
Code:
public class TopText {
public void SetText() {
MainActivity mainac = new MainActivity();
mainac.MorphTextTop.setText("eeeee");
}
}
Is creating a new instance of Activity class MainActivity in which the field "MorphTextTop" is not initialized.......
All the fields in your main activity must be initialized in the onCreate method of the Activity after you have called " setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);"
The initialization would look something like
Code:
MorphTextTop = (TextView) findViewById(R.id."THIS_VIEWS_ID");
put your activity_main.xml here if you then I could give you the complete code.

What does your log say after the app crashes? And where's your actual MainActivity class?

Ok I finally found out the problem. Turns out that I was creating an instance of the TextView before setting the ContentView. Yay!

TextView Into and Integer

I am trying to pass information from a text view into an ImageView to move the ImageView. The problem is I can't use the TextView information because it is defined as a TextView. So is there a way I can get it to use the TextView as an integer?
Do you mean you want to convert the text string in the textview to an integer? There's the java.lang.Integer class which has a static member parseInt() which might do what you need:
http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Integer.html#parseInt(java.lang.String)
Not completely sure what your looking for but if I read it right,
imageView.setMethod(parseInt(textView.getText()))
setMethod being which ever method your trying to set the int into.
I need the data from my accelerometer code which looks like so:
package com.bobhoil.tdodger;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class TestActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener {
private TextView accelXValue;
private TextView accelYValue;
private TextView accelZValue;
private SensorManager sensorManager = null;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
setContentView(R.layout.test);
accelXValue = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.accel_x_value);
accelYValue = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.accel_y_value);
accelZValue = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.accel_z_value);
accelXValue.setText("0.00");
accelYValue.setText("0.00");
accelZValue.setText("0.00");
}
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent sensorEvent) {
synchronized (this) {
if (sensorEvent.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) {
accelXValue.setText(Float.toString(sensorEvent.values[0]));
accelYValue.setText(Float.toString(sensorEvent.values[1]));
accelZValue.setText(Float.toString(sensorEvent.values[2]));
}
}
}
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor arg0, int arg1) {
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_GAME);
}
@Override

sensorManager.unregisterListener(this);
super.onStop();

I need to put that into my imageview and use scrollby to move the imageview around the screen.
I'm not too familiar with imageviews, are you using XMLs for the layout or creating the imageViews programmaticly? I'm assuming the textViews and imageViews are in seperate classes. Thus the easiest way to get the text from the textViews would be to first give them the "protected" token rather than "private" and reference them directly.
Code:
imageView.scrollBy(parseInt(TestActivity.accelXValue.getText()));
I have tried that before but no matter what I try I get an error. Here is the error:
Cannot make a static reference to the non-static field TestActivity.accelXValue
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So then I change it to static and get the following error:
The method parseInt(CharSequence) is undefined for the type TestActivity

I can't seem to get something that seems so simple to work.

ImageView Scrolls But Disappears

Okay so after working hard I finally have scrolling somewhat working using the information from the accelerometer. I am using scrollBy() to make it move. But it scrolls I guess what you could say "in spot". It disappears when it goes outside its bounds. Here is my code:
Code:
package com.bobhoil.tdodger;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class TestActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener {
private int accelXValue;
private int accelYValue;
private TextView accelZValue;
private ImageView mobil1;
private SensorManager sensorManager = null;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
setContentView(R.layout.test);
accelZValue = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.accel_z_value);
mobil1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.mobil);
accelZValue.setText("0.00");
}
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent sensorEvent) {
synchronized (this) {
if (sensorEvent.sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) {
accelXValue = (int) sensorEvent.values[0];
accelYValue = (int) sensorEvent.values[1];
accelZValue.setText(Float.toString(sensorEvent.values[2]));
}
mobil1.scrollBy(accelXValue,accelYValue);
}
}
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor arg0, int arg1) {
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_GAME);
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
sensorManager.unregisterListener(this);
super.onStop();
}
}
Can I get some assistance please?
Okay so I tried using a few other ways of moving the imageview but it is still doing the same thing. Is it that I am using a absolute view??
I'd definitely recommend against using an AbsoluteLayout, but I'm guessing that you intend for the ImageView to move within another layout and instead you're telling the ImageView to move within itself. Basically, the scroll methods scroll the content of a view, so you would want to scroll a parent view if you're intending to move the ImageView.
So right now it isn't scrolling the ImageView? It is scrolling within the ImageView?
So now I need to figure out how to move a view in a view?
Just making sure I understood this.
Can I get some more help? I really need this for my game..

[Q] how to change the starting activity

Hi there,
I would like some advice on what I should look for if I want to implement the following basic scenario:
the app starts with an activity (call it Activity_1) which contains a button
on clicking the button, takes me to a different activity (call it Activity_2)
next time i start the app, it takes me directly to Activity_2
and Activity_1 won't be seen again
So how can I change the startup activity?
What's happening is that Android is not closing your app in between starts, it's only backgrounding it. One thing you could do is to override the onResume() method in your Activity_2 to call finish() if for instance you have set some variable, let's call it appPaused and it would act just like you had pressed the back button (which will also take you back to Activity_1).
Like below:
Code:
package com.test.example;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class Activity_2 extends Activity
{
boolean appPaused = false;
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onPause()
{
appPaused = true;
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onResume()
{
if(appPaused)
finish();
}
}
thanks for the answer. i want to consider that the app is closed, like after restarting the device. i don't want it to be able to start with Activity_1 unless, let's say, i re-install the app.
i also had an idea about having a 3rd activity as the main one defined in the manifest, which on create changes to one of the other activities. but i don't know how that would be implemented. would it work?

Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question the first time. If you don't want an activity to be shown except for say the first time after an install (maybe it's a login screen or similar), I would in my main activity, use the SharedPreferences class to see if I have a preference set like below:
Code:
package com.test.example;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
public class Activity_Start extends Activity
{
boolean appPaused = false;
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
if(!prefs.contains("loggedIn"))
{
//run activity only if never run before
startActivity(new Intent(this,Activity_Logon.class));
}
else
{
//do something else every other time
}
}
}
Code:
package com.test.example;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
public class Activity_Logon extends Activity
{
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
doLogon();
finish();
}
private void doLogon()
{
//logon code
SharedPreferences.Editor edit = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).edit();
edit.putBoolean("loggedIn",true);
}
}
oh, ok. so from what I get SharedPreferences is a db where you can quickly save variables between sessions. great, I'll try it

That's absolutely right. You can store Strings and primitive values indexed by String keys.

in the second activity, doLogon() needed an edit.apply() at the end. it works somehow, but the problem is when i press the back button, it still takes me to the first activity, and i don'twant to see it anymore after i press the button. here's my code
Code:
package com.example.onetimeactivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
[user=439709]@override[/user]
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
if(!prefs.contains("loggedIn"))
{
//run activity only if never run before
Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onClick(View arg0) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class));
}
});
}
else
{
//do something else every other time
startActivity(new Intent(this,SecondActivity.class));
}
}
}
Code:
package com.example.onetimeactivity;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
public class SecondActivity extends Activity
{
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
doLogon();
}
private void doLogon()
{
//logon code
SharedPreferences.Editor edit = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).edit();
edit.putBoolean("loggedIn",true);
edit.apply();
}
}
i managed to resolve it by adding android:noHistory="true" to the manifest. however, now i really can't see the first activity, not even if i rebuild the code ))

Thanks for catching my mistake. You're right that it does need an apply (or before API level 9, commit()) call.
If you don't want to see the activity MainActivity anymore, then you have to make some changes to your structure. You should make an Activity that will be the one that always shows when the user opens the app. That activity is the one who should check the SharedPreferences for your entry. If the entry does not exist, it should call the one-time-activity. Then the one-time-activity should do it's work and save the entry and call finish() to go back to the main activity (the one you usually want to be shown). This way the activity stack will be correct for the back key functionality.
what it sounds like you want is something like a splash/logon screen
like previously said use sharedprefs.
in the splash/logon call the sharedpref and make the default false (I use booleans, you can use ints or strings):
so it would be like this
Code:
SharedPreferences settings;
SharedPreferences.Editor editor;
boolean splash;
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onCreate() {
settings = getSharedPreferences("settings", 0);
splash = settings.getboolean("splash", false);
editor = settings.edit();
if(splash == false){
setContentView(//the view you are using);
//do everything else you need to do
button.setonclicklistener(new OnClickListener(){
editor.putboolean("splash", true);
editor.commit();
finish();
});
}else{
//open up your second activity
finish();
}
if its a login screen, when the user clicks logout you would do the editor and change "splash" to false.

Text input with DialogFragment

I am trying to get a value that user enters into a Dialog, using the recommended DialogFragment class for it, the Dialog constructs and runs fine, but I cannot return the value of the EditText parameter to the parent class, without get a Null pointer exception.
My DialogHost class, this constructs, returns and links the parent to its buttons.
Code:
package jo.app.co;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.app.DialogFragment;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
public class DialogHost extends DialogFragment {
public interface NoticeDialogListener {
public void onDialogPositiveClick(DialogFragment dialog);
public void onDialogNegativeClick(DialogFragment dialog);
}
NoticeDialogListener mListener;
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
mListener = (NoticeDialogListener) activity;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString());
}
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
builder.setView(inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_add, null))
.setPositiveButton("Save", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
mListener.onDialogPositiveClick(DialogHost.this);
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
DialogHost.this.getDialog().cancel();
}
});
return builder.create();
}
}
My MainActivity
Code:
package jo.app.co;
import android.app.DialogFragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements DialogHost.NoticeDialogListener {
[user=439709]@override[/user]
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
showNoticeDialog();
}
public void showNoticeDialog() {
DialogFragment dialog = new DialogHost();
dialog.show(getFragmentManager(), "DialogHost");
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onDialogPositiveClick(DialogFragment dialog) {
EditText myText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.item_added);
try {
Log.d ("IN TRY", myText.getText().toString());
}
catch (Exception e) {
Log.e ("IN CATCH", e.toString());
}
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onDialogNegativeClick(DialogFragment dialog) {
Log.d ("INMAIN", "REACHED NEG");
}
}
This is my layout for the add item dialog.
Code:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/item_added"
android:inputType="text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
android:hint="@string/hint_add_item" />
</LinearLayout>
It's because in your main activity you are trying to call findViewById:

This is not possible since the layout of the activity is not the one the dialog is using. There are multiple ways of doing this, for instance call findViewById in the dialog's onPositiveButtonListener and pass that value through your interface. It might be that you need to use the LayoutInflator in the onCreateDialog, set
LinearLayout linearl = (LinearLayout) inflater.inflate(...) and get the EditText from there. You then call setView(linearL) instead.

I tried calling findViewById method in the onClick method in the Dialog class, but the function is not defined for a DialogInterface.onClickListner, I modified it to linearl method you told but I cannot get it to work either.
Could you make the changes in the 2 snippets above, it would be very helpful!
You'll have to setup listeners fo this and pass the string or whetever you want to pass to back to the activity which in its turn can handle it (do it by itself or pass this to another fragement).
Although not so much votes (0) the last answer here on stackoverflow has exeactly what you need.

The Fragment that should contain a Navigation Drawer is Resturants , also drawer's mainactivity is implemented with Sherlock Library(SherlockFragmentActivity).
I'm puzzled how to call the SherlockFragmentActivity from the SherlockActivity
Thanks

Hi guys.
I've been developing an app which has Swipeable menu in bottom and one of the pages , should have a Navigation Drawer to change its own Fragments.
MainActivity.java
Code:
package com.example.elizehprotowithshlkandvpis;
import com.example.elizehprotowithshlkandvpis.adapter.MainMenuAdapter;
import com.viewpagerindicator.TabPageIndicator;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.view.Menu;
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
private static final String[] CONTENT = { "Home", "AboutUs", "Maps", "Resturants", "Tours", "CustomerClub", "Neccesseries", "UrgentCall" };
private ViewPager mViewPager;
private FragmentPagerAdapter adapter;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
adapter = new MainMenuAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
TabPageIndicator indicator = (TabPageIndicator) findViewById(R.id.indicator);
indicator.setViewPager(mViewPager);
}
@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 static String[] getCONTENT() {
return CONTENT;
}
}
MainMenuAdapter.java
Code:
package com.example.elizehprotowithshlkandvpis.adapter;
import com.example.elizehprotowithshlkandvpis.MainActivity;
import com.example.menuclasses.AboutUs;
import com.example.menuclasses.CustomerClub;
import com.example.menuclasses.Maps;
import com.example.menuclasses.Neccesseries;
import com.example.menuclasses.Tours;
import com.example.menuclasses.UrgentCall;
import com.example.menuclasses.Resturants;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
public class MainMenuAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private static final String[] CONTENT = { "Home", "AboutUs", "Maps", "Resturants", "Tours", "CustomerClub", "Neccesseries", "UrgentCall" };
private final int HOME_INDEX = 0;
private final int ABOUTUS_INDEX = 1;
private final int MAPS_INDEX = 2;
private final int RESTURANTS_INDEX = 3;
private final int TOURS_INDEX = 4;
private final int CUSTOMERCLUB_INDEX = 5;
private final int NECCESSERIES_INDEX = 6;
private final int URGENTCALL_INDEX = 7;
private final int NUMBEROFMENUS = CONTENT.length;
public MainMenuAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
String[] CONTENT = MainActivity.getCONTENT();
return CONTENT[position % CONTENT.length].toUpperCase();
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int index) {
switch(index) {
case HOME_INDEX:
return new AboutUs();
case ABOUTUS_INDEX:
return new AboutUs();
case MAPS_INDEX:
return new Maps();
case RESTURANTS_INDEX:
return new Resturants();
case TOURS_INDEX:
return new Tours();
case CUSTOMERCLUB_INDEX:
return new CustomerClub();
case NECCESSERIES_INDEX:

case URGENTCALL_INDEX:

That last sentence does not make sense I assume you mean from the Fragment?! Well to access the holding activity you need to add an interface to the Fragment which the activity will implement.
Am I understanding you correctly that have a horizontal ViewPager and one of the Fragments should have a Navigation drawer? To accomplish that you would still need the whole activity to hold the drawer and figure out a way to disable it when the user is on some other Fragment. But my question is why you want to use a navigation drawer in that case, because the drawer is meant for navigating on the same hierarchical level, but the different items are more independent than with the ViewPager. It doesn't really make sense to have both a drawer and horizontal swiping, even the YouTube app really bothers me with its swiping between suggestions and feed. I think what you need to use here is a spinner in the ActionBar, replacing the title of the Fragment.

Yeah you're right , I just want to use the drawer in order to change contents.
So as you suggest , I just have to use a simple tricks to make the drawer enable in desire Fragment.
I don't want to , I am asked to make it possible....
