NullPointerException calling getIntent().getStringExtra(...) - java

First of all I'm very new with coding just trying and also new with the features of Firebase. The problem is that, I'm trying to get specific value from firebase by putting number associated with the value. As I have designed it as my first activity (Buffer2) to put the serial number with EditText and thus pass the value from this activity to next activity (Buffer3). and assigned this intent.getExtra string and then making this as int to put the serial number. But the process getting crash (or stopped as to saying it null).
Is there, another way to get this done? any help will be appreciated.
Here is my code (xml and java) for buffer2 and buffer3

It looks like getIntent() returns null in this line:
String Number = getIntent().getStringExtra("numberto");
I expect that problem will disappear if you move the initialization of Number into the onCreate method:
public class Buffer3 extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView Name, Profession;
DatabaseReference reference;
String Number;
int count = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(Number));
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.buffer3);
Number = getIntent().getStringExtra("numberto");
Name = findViewById(R.id.nameTv);
Profession = findViewById(R.id.professionTv);
reference=FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("What")
.child(String.valueOf(count));
}
...
A few other notes:
It is idiomatic to have the names of member fields start with lowercase letters, so number instead of Number.
When you get a NullPointerException, follow the advice from this post to learn how to troubleshoot it yourself: What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?

See context can be of anything, so if you want the context of activity then use ActivityName.context, other the context you receive may not be of the activity.
One tip: Please study before making apps directly. A programmer is one who reads the documentation and creates apps.
So as you error states, you are trying to invoke getContext() on views/properties that are still null or have not been even created and that is what is happening here. You are trying to access the views and pass them the context even before they are created.
All the views are created during the onCreate method call and you can use them inside this method or after this method has been executed.
So try passing in the context to the views inside a meaningful method where your views are not null

Android StartActivity won't start a new activity

I have two methods defined inside this class:
RegisterButtonClicked successfully calls an activity, but LoginButtonClicked won't....
The result of running this code is that it prints out "inside LoginButtonClicked2" log message which means the code is running the LoginButtonClicked method but not successfully executing the startActivity inside the method.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public void RegisterButtonClicked(View view) {
Log.d("registerButtonClicked", "inside registerButtonClicked");
Button Register = findViewById(R.id.RegisterButton);
Register.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, Register.class));
}
});
}
public void LoginButtonClicked(View view) {
Log.d("LoginButtonClicked", "inside LoginButtonClicked");
Button login = findViewById(R.id.LoginButton);
login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Log.d("LoginButtonClicked", "inside LoginButtonClicked2");
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, Login2.class));
}
});

You may change your java code as below (consider it as one of the possible ways to solve this, please!):
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public void RegisterButtonClicked(View RegisterButtonClicked) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, Register.class));
}
public void LoginButtonClicked(View LoginButtonClicked) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, Login2.class));
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
If your are setting click from xml then dont need to set click listener in code.
public void RegisterButtonClicked(View view) {
Log.d("registerButtonClicked", "inside registerButtonClicked");
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, Register.class));
}
public void LoginButtonClicked(View view) {
Log.d("LoginButtonClicked", "inside LoginButtonClicked");
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, Login2.class));
}

/></LinearLayout>
this is my xml code in whis we can design ui of our application
You should change to btn_Click in your xml
from android:onClick="radhaJi"
to android:onClick="btn_Click".
Your button initialize wrong id
btn_SignIn=findViewById(R.id.btn_signup);
should be
btn_SignIn=findViewById(R.id.button3);
You need implement the View.OnClickListener along with your Activity like the following.
public class Login extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if(view.getId() == R.id.btn_signup)
logIn();
}
}
And change the layout to look like the following.
<?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">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/email"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="Emile"
android:inputType="textPersonName" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="Password"
android:inputType="textPassword" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_signup"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="onClick"
android:text="Signin" />
</LinearLayout>

Android button not being detected and returning a null in the onCreate when trying to retrieve it [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
findViewById returns null
(4 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have a button in my XML that I'm retrieving in the onCreate method of the activity's java code. When I go to run the app, though, a null pointer exception is set off.
XML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.example.android.chargerpoints.LogonActivity">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/email"
android:hint="#string/prompt_email"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:maxLines="1"
android:singleLine="true" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/password"
android:hint="#string/prompt_password"
android:imeActionId="#+id/login"
android:imeActionLabel="#string/action_sign_in_short"
android:imeOptions="actionUnspecified"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:maxLines="1"
android:singleLine="true"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/sign_in_button"
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:text="#string/action_sign_in"
android:textStyle="bold"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/register_button"
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:text="#string/action_register"
android:textStyle="bold"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/forgot_password_button"
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:text="Forgot Password"
android:textStyle="bold"/>
</LinearLayout>
The button in question is the one with the id "sign_in_button". This is the onCreate method in the java code:
private TextView emailTextView;
private TextView passwordTextView;
private Button signInButton;
private Button registerButton;
private Button forgotPasswordButton;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
emailTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.email);
passwordTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.password);
signInButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.sign_in_button);
signInButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Toast.makeText(LogonActivity.this, signIn(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
registerButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.register_button);
registerButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Toast.makeText(LogonActivity.this, register(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
forgotPasswordButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.forgot_password_button);
}
This is the error I'm getting:

It would be amazing if someone could help me with this. I am a novice at this stuff and this issue has gotten me stuck and its probably just a small thing I missed. Thanks!
you need to inflate the layout inside the activity/fragment first.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.<xml file name>);
....
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//without this line your activity class doesn't know which xml file you wanna use
setContentView(R.layout.yourlayoutname);
//and only after that you can retrive names
bnt = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn)'
}

Getting value of edittext into object

Hi I'm new to android programming and am running into a frustrating bug. I'm trying to get the value from an edittext and put it into an object. My code will print the value into Log.v but throws a NullPointerException when I try to use mEdit.getText().toString() in my setter method. Here's the code:
Button mButton;
EditText mEdit;
WorkoutTop workoutTop;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_add_workout);
mButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.addButton);
mEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.addEditText);
mButton.setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View view)
{
Log.v("This works: ", mEdit.getText().toString());
workoutTop.setName(mEdit.getText().toString());
Log.v("Never gets here:", workoutTop.getName());
}
}
}
);
}
The xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context="eric.hork.AddWorkout">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/add"
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/addEditText"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Add"
android:id="#+id/addButton"
android:layout_below="#+id/addEditText"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
and the Class I'm trying to use:
package eric.hork.Workout;
import java.util.ArrayList;
/**
* Created by eric on 4/29/15.
*/
public class WorkoutTop {
private String name;
private ArrayList<WorkoutDay> workoutDays;
public String getName(){
return name;
}
public void setName(String workoutName){
name = workoutName;
}
public ArrayList<WorkoutDay> getWorkoutDays(){
return workoutDays;
}
public Boolean addWorkoutDay(WorkoutDay workoutDay){
return workoutDays.add(workoutDay);
}
}
The error occurs in this line:
workoutTop.setName(mEdit.getText().toString());
Here's the log:
04-29 16:22:37.131 20937-20937/eric.hork E/AndroidRuntime﹕ FATAL EXCEPTION: main

Thanks for any help!
You have to initialize workoutTop variable.
workoutTop = new WorkoutTop();
Within your onCreate Method you must initialize workoutTop.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_add_workout);
workoutTop = new WorkoutTop(); //add this
mButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.addButton);
mEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.addEditText);
mButton.setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View view)
{
Log.v("This works: ", mEdit.getText().toString());
workoutTop.setName(mEdit.getText().toString());
Log.v("Never gets here:", workoutTop.getName());
}
}
}
);
}
