Android : saving value for app language - java

I want language change feature in my app which can provide user feature to change application language from settings but at start i want default application to open so i created dummy project to test it where i am accessing Langugage preference from a class which is defining factor for language Here its code(Clearly I know I am not using sharedPreference the right way and i know the error was because of that so please help in setting shared preference in this app):
public class LanguagePreferences extends Activity {
public int language;
int check;
SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("mysettings",
Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
public LanguagePreferences()
{
language=settings.getInt("language", 0);
}
public void changeLang()
{
check=settings.getInt("language",0);
if(check==0)
{
settings.edit().putInt("language", 1);
settings.edit().comment();
}
else
{
settings.edit().putInt("language", 1);
settings.edit().comment();
}
}
}
and a button to change application Language in settings Here its Code:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.change);
btnLang=(Button)findViewById(R.id.change);
btnLang.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
LanguagePreferences l= new LanguagePreferences();
l.changeLang();
}
});
}
and main Activity where i am changing text value if language is different code:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
Button btnLang = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonlang);
SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("mysettings",
Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
btnLang.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Change.class);
startActivity(i);
}
});
LanguagePreferences l = new LanguagePreferences();
if (l.language == 0) {
tv.setText("Germany");
} else {
tv.setText("English");
}
}
I am using shared preferences to save data but at start activity closes and not responding error shows. Any Help is appreciated.

As mentioned in the comments, most likely the settings variable is the problem.
Try initializing it in your onCreate() method.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle state){
super.onCreate(state);
SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("mysettings", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
}
You can find more information on how to use these shared preferences here.
From your example:
LanguagePreferences l = new LanguagePreferences();
You are creating a new Activity object here.
You're not supposed to do that. Activities are managed by android. You should use the lifecycle methods and callbacks to interact with them.
Store the language only in the shared preferences, not in a member variable of the activity.

You are Trying to create an instance of an Activity with at the line below, which is wrong.
LanguagePreferences l = new LanguagePreferences();
You cannot reach the activity's method like this. You can Add an Application Class and write a public static method like:
public class ApplicationClass extends Application {
public static SharedPreferences mSharedPrefs;
public static SharedPreferences.Editor mPrefsEditor;
private static ApplicationClass instance;
public ApplicationClass() {
instance = this;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mSharedPrefs = getSharedPreferences("mysettings", MODE_PRIVATE);
mPrefsEditor = mSharedPrefs.edit();
}
public static SharedPreferences getmSharedPrefs() {
if (mSharedPrefs == null) {
mSharedPrefs = getContext().getSharedPreferences("mysettings",
MODE_PRIVATE);
}
return mSharedPrefs;
}
public static SharedPreferences.Editor getmPrefsEditor() {
if (mPrefsEditor == null || mSharedPrefs == null) {
mSharedPrefs = getContext().getSharedPreferences("mysettings",
MODE_PRIVATE);
mPrefsEditor = mSharedPrefs.edit();
}
return mPrefsEditor;
}
}
And you can use this like:
ApplicationClass.getmPrefsEditor().putString("key","value").commit();
And this:
ApplicationClass.getmSharedPrefs().getString("key");
in your Activities and Fragments.

NoClassDefFoundError Exception when launching app in GenyMotion emulator

I wanted to test my code on another device than my physical one, so I launched the app in GenyMotion emulator with a Samsung Galaxy S3 (API 18), but it keeps throwing a NoClassDefFoundError Exception in my class "SlidingMenuUtil" (a customized drawer menu) which is called on startup by my MainActivity.
Here is code from my onCreate in MainActivity:
#Bind(R.id.viewContentFullScreen) RelativeLayout viewContentFullScreen;
#Bind(R.id.viewContentTopBar) RelativeLayout viewContentTopBar;
#Bind(R.id.topBarWrapper) RelativeLayout topbarView;
private ViewContainer viewContainer;
private SlidingMenuUtil leftMenu;
private Bundle bundle;
private MessageHandler messageHandler;
private GoBackFunction currentGoBackFunction;
private CallbackManager callbackManager;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
bundle = savedInstanceState;
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
leftMenu = new SlidingMenuUtil(this, SlidingMenuUtil.MenuType.LEFT, R.layout.drawer_menu, (int)(LayoutUtil.getScreenWidth(this) * 0.75), false);
populateMenu();
ButterKnife.bind(this);
messageHandler = new MessageHandler(this, findViewById(R.id.spinner));
FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
callbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create();
}
The problem occurs in the SlidingMenuUtil class on line: 67. Here is the constructor for the class:
public SlidingMenuUtil(Activity activity, MenuType menuType, int menuLayout, int shownMenuWidth, boolean fadeEffectOn) {
this.activity = activity;
this.menuType = menuType;
this.shownMenuWidth = shownMenuWidth;
this.fadeEffectOn = fadeEffectOn;
this.screenWidth = LayoutUtil.getScreenWidth(activity);
this.rootView = (ViewGroup)((ViewGroup)activity.findViewById(android.R.id.content)).getChildAt(0);
this.activityWrapper = new RelativeLayout(activity);
this.activityWrapper.setLayoutParams(this.rootView.getLayoutParams());
this.overlay = new RelativeLayout(activity);
this.overlay.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(-1, -1));
this.overlay.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
this.overlay.setAlpha(0.0F);
this.overlay.setVisibility(View.GONE);
this.overlay.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (menuOpen) {
toggle(new ToggleMenu() {
#Override
public void animationDone() {
}
});
}
}
});
this.rootView.addView(this.overlay);
this.menu = (LinearLayout)activity.getLayoutInflater().inflate(menuLayout, (ViewGroup) null, false);
this.menu.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(shownMenuWidth, -1));
if (menuType == MenuType.LEFT) {
this.menu.setTranslationX((float)(-shownMenuWidth));
} else {
this.menu.setTranslationX((float)(screenWidth));
}
this.rootView.addView(this.menu);
this.menuOpen = false;
}
lin 67 is:
this.overlay.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
As mentioned before the problem only occurs in the emulator.
Here is the log:

onResume() always gets called after onCreate().
When onResume() begins, mDBApi is null, because this field is only ever assigned in the onClick() method.
You either need to assign mDBApi in onCreate() directly, or you need to check that it is not null before you try to use it.

Android: Google play games services connection error ( java.lang.IllegalStateException: GoogleApiClient must be connected.)

I've programmed a game for android, everything works fine, but now I want my app to have Google play Games services (leaderboards and achievements). I used the Google example code to log in to the Google services (no errors in the script), but every time I want to connect with my App in debug mode, I get this error:

Thanks, GoogleWelt
According to the official documentation, "Before any operation is executed, the GoogleApiClient must be connected"
When the user in not connected(signed in) and clicks to show leaderboards or achievements, it results in the exception thrown. Modify your code for launching the leaderboard like this:
} else if(view.getId()==R.id.highscorebutton) {
if (isSignedIn())
startActivityForResult(Games.Leaderboards.getLeaderboardIntent(getApiClient(), getString(R.string.the_best_players)), REQUEST_LEADERBOARD);
else showAlert("Please sign in to view leaderboards");
}
Use the same logic for showing achievements:
if (isSignedIn())
startActivityForResult(Games.Achievements.getAchievementsIntent(getApiClient()), REQUEST_ACHIEVEMENT);
else showAlert("Please sign in to view achievements");
Check the part where you are getting ApiClient i.e. getApiClient().
Write the code below to see if GoogleApiClient is Connected or not.
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
if(mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()){
// good
}else{
//connect it
mGoogleApiClient.connect(GoogleApiClient.SIGN_IN_MODE_OPTIONAL);
}

Start activity from service isn't working (Android)

I created an overlay "always on top button", which is a service HUD, and I can't start an activity screen from there, it gives the error: "Unfortunately App has stopped". In the beginning, all I used to know if there was any TouchEventwas a toast, and that toast was created, but it was created several times, so I don't know if it gives that error because this code, which is on TouchEvent body , is repeated several times too.
here is my code:
public class HUD extends Service implements OnClickListener, OnTouchListener, OnLongClickListener {
Button mButton;
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
//mView = new HUDView(this);
mButton = new Button(this);
mButton.setId(1);
mButton.setText("Button");
mButton.setClickable(true);
mButton.setOnTouchListener(this);

params.gravity = Gravity.LEFT | Gravity.TOP;
params.setTitle("Load Average");
WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
wm.addView(mButton, params);
}

if(event.getX()<mButton.getWidth() & event.getY()>0)
{
Toast.makeText(this,"Overlay button event", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); //this my toast
Intent i = new Intent(); //this is my new acivity (intent)
i.setClass(HUD.this, screen.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(i);
HUD.this.stopSelf();
}
return false;
}
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(this,"Click", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.exit(1);
return false;
}
}
So my question is, is this code on TouchEvent body being repeated several times? If it is, is that the cause of the error?

See android start activity from service
Intent i= new Intent(getBaseContext(), screen.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
getApplication().startActivity(i);
You error seems to be inside screen activity. There are many thread which might help to figure out the error that you are getting for the activity:
Error in Android "SuperNotCalledException:Activity did not call through to super.OnCreate()"
android.app.SuperNotCalledException: Activity did not call through to super.onStop()
Update
The error is because you haven't called: super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); in your screen activity's onCreate(). That should be the first thing to be called in onCreate(). Do something like this:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//.... other stuff
}
Hope this helps.

Code keeps thowing a NPE, cannot find the cause

i cannot find the null pointer exception in my code, i was wondering if anyone could help me find what is giving an error.

any help and criticism is greatly appreciated
code is being compiled for android 2.1. code is a basic, crappily coded torch app.
thanx
The code is bailing out on one of these two lines:
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
public int windowWidth = display.getWidth();
Either getWindowManager() is returning a null and that first initializer will fail, or getDefaultDisplay() is, and the second one will.
You should probably move these initializations to the onCreate handler. Having them at instance initialization sounds a bit risky - the activity's "environment" might not be completely set up yet at that point.
(And check the return values.)
Activity is full available only after it has been created. This line does not do the intended purpose:
 Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Move this line and subsequent ones inside onCreate method.
