DrawerLayout or TabLayout is null after resuming activity from background? - java

whenever I create my activity initially, everything goes fine as I am able to inflate my layouts correctly. However, the issue is whenever I switch to using another app, then go back to my own app, I get an error saying that the TabLayout is null, causing my app to crash. If I switch to another app for a few minutes, my DrawerLayout is null, also causing my app to crash.
If I understand the Android Life Cycle correctly, I realize that the activity is recreated when it goes from background to foreground, and the onCreate method is called again as referenced from this: Android activity life cycle - what are all these methods for?. However, I don't understand why when the app starts, everything works fine, but when I go into the background, either the TabLayout or the DrawerLayout is set to null. Here is my attempt:
news_feed.java:
private static DrawerLayout drawer;
private static TabLayout tabLayout;
public class news_feed extends BatchAppCompatActivity implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.news_feed);
drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
//Listen for navigation events
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close){
public void onDrawerOpened(View view) {
super.onDrawerOpened(view);
}
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed state. */
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
}
};
System.out.println("news_feed: toolbar: " + toolbar);
System.out.println("news_feed: Drawer: " + drawer);
System.out.println("news_feed: toggle: " + toggle);
drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
System.out.println("news_feed: Tab Layout: " + tabLayout);
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("First"));
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Second"));
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Third"));
tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
}
}

I made sure that the findViewById's are all referencing the correct id's, but I can't seem to figure what is going wrong. It's strange: if I quickly switch from app -> another app -> app, then the TabLayout is null. If I switch from app -> another app -> wait a few minutes -> app, then DrawerLayout is null. I have no idea why this is occuring! Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: The app crashes on the onCreate method of my activity. Moreover, I have provided a stacktrace: as followed here:

Edit: Included BatchAppCompatActivity class:
public class BatchAppCompatActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

}

Your declaration of the drawer and tabLayout variables seems a bit strange. Unless it's a typo I'm surprised it even works. Something like
public class news_feed extends BatchAppCompatActivity implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
private DrawerLayout drawer;
private TabLayout tabLayout;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.news_feed);
drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
//Listen for navigation events
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close){
public void onDrawerOpened(View view) {
super.onDrawerOpened(view);
}
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed state. */
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
}
};
System.out.println("news_feed: toolbar: " + toolbar);
System.out.println("news_feed: Drawer: " + drawer);
System.out.println("news_feed: toggle: " + toggle);
drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
System.out.println("news_feed: Tab Layout: " + tabLayout);
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("First"));
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Second"));
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Third"));
tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
}
}
should work assuming toolbar is defined somewhere else in your class.

Toolbar menu being cleared after being set (When activity is started)

Toolbar menu is inflated in fragment but then cleared later.
When activity is first created (or rotated) the toolbar menu is inflated properly in the fragment, but then gets cleared before it can be displayed.
I set the toolbar menu in my fragment's onActivityCreated, and it stays set through onResume in the activity. The next call I've found is in onCreateOptionsMenu in the activity, but at this point toolbar.getMenu().size() = 0
Somewhere between onResume and onCreateOptionsMenu the toolbar menu is getting reset.
Edit:
I'm not sure what is necessary to reproduce it, but here is all(?) of the relevant code.
Activity:
private Toolbar toolbar;
private DrawerLayout drawer;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle;
private FloatingActionButton fab;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.drawer_main);
toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
fab = findViewById(R.id.main_fab);
drawer = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer,toolbar,R.string.nav_drawer_open,R.string.nav_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
showFragment(ScheduleFragment.newInstance());
}
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if(toggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
CharSequence retainTitle = toolbar.getTitle();
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
toggle.syncState();
toolbar.setTitle(retainTitle);
}
Fragment:
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
toolbar = ((MainActivity)getActivity()).getToolbar();
setMenuAction(MENU_ACTION_DELETE);
}
protected void setMenuAction(int menuAction) {
Log.d(logger, "setting the menu");
switch(menuAction) {
case MENU_ACTION_DELETE:
toolbar.getMenu().clear();
toolbar.inflateMenu(R.menu.menu_delete);
break;
case MENU_ACTION_NONE:
Log.d(logger, "clearing menu");
toolbar.getMenu().clear();
break;
}
}

The problem in my current code as posted was the line setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
This was not needed, and was in fact causing the troubling lifecycle problems stated above.

Navigation drawer does not open when pressing the hamburger icon in toolbar

I am trying to toggle the navigation view by the hamburger icon. The navigation view is appearing on sliding from the left. The following is the code that I have included in my MainActivity "onCreate Function"
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
toolbar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, mDrawerLayout, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
mDrawerLayout.addDrawerListener(toggle);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
toggle.syncState();
I also have tried this code block which doesn't seem to work.
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
I also tried this
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
mDrawerLayout = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START); // OPEN DRAWER
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

Any help would be highly appreciated. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Please let me know if anything else is needed. I didn't paste the whole code here as the project is quite big. I checked many StackOverflow post for this and I tried to do the same thing but it doesn't seem to work.
try this in the onCreate of your main activity :
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
i hope it will help you!
In your ActionBarDrawerToggle constructor you use toolbar as third parameter. I am not sure if it is valid, since the official documentation for ActionBarDrawerToggle constructor parameters quotes:
Parameters:
activity - Activity: the Activity hosting the drawer
drawerLayout - Drawerlayout: the DrawerLayout to link to the given Activity's
ActionBar
drawerImageRes - int: A Drawable resource to use as the drawer
indicator
openDrawerContentDescRes - int: A String resource to describe the
"open drawer" action for accessibility
closeDrawerContentDescRes - int: A String resource to describe the
"close drawer" action for accessibility
So, the third parameter should be Drawable Resource but toolbar is a View.
Edit:
As you are using v7 and not v4, there is one sentence from official documentation https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/app/ActionBarDrawerToggle.html I think is important:
Please use ActionBarDrawerToggle(Activity, DrawerLayout, int, int) if you are setting the Toolbar as the ActionBar of your activity.
So it seems you should use differnt constructor from the one you are using now.
Hope this will help.

Failed to resolve attribute at index 60

I have imported the scanner control module in my app. I have also added the module dependency correctly. I can even access the classes of imported module. But the problem is, whenever I try to open that module (I have added that as in main app navigation drawer item) it looks like there is a problem with setContentView(R.layout.activity_active_scanner). I think that the main problem is in tablayout(or else in other xml parts).
The logcat is shown below:

What is wrong in code, please help.
Thanks in advance!
Your problem lies in incorrect search of RecyclerView
Change your code:
recycler = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler);
to
recycler = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerExpense);

Navigation drawer header textview nullpointerexception

I have an 2 activity and a service, in first I have navigation drawer, and 2 textviews in its header, and I must change their text sometimes, in service there is some data that i need
On first run everything is perfect, but when I go to the first activity from second, I have nullpointerexception in textviews. What causes it, and how to fix?

To successfuly find any widget in Navigation Drawer's header, you need to obtain header view first. This can be achieved by using getHeaderView() method:
View header = ((NavigationView)findViewById(R.id.navigation_view)).getHeaderView(0);
Then, having header pointing to the right ViewGroup with our widgets in it, you can use findViewById() as usual:
TextView tv = header.findViewById(R.id.songNameNavhead);
tv.setText(currentSong.getName());
Or in more compact manner:
((TextView)header.findViewById(R.id.songNameNavhead))
.setText(currentSong.getName());
private void prepareLayout() {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "prepareLayout: Running");
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.songNameNavhead)).setText(currentSong.getName());
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.artistNavhead)).setText(currentSong.getArtist());
}
These need to use the navigationDrawer's view and then it's header, not your activity's view, so it should be
View header = navigationView.getHeaderView(0)
((TextView) navigationViewHeader.findViewById(R.id.songNameNavhead)).setText(currentSong.getName());
((TextView) navigationViewHeader.findViewById(R.id.artistNavhead)).setText(currentSong.getArtist());
