Android Studio SeekBar Error

Hello I'm trying to get the value of a SeekBar in android studio. If i run app it is crashing. There is no syntax error.
package prosis.guiaturistico;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.SeekBar;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private static SeekBar seek_bar;
private static TextView text_view;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
seekbar();
}
public void seekbar(){
seek_bar = (SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.seekbar);
text_view = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.seekbarValue);
text_view.setText("Covered : " + seek_bar.getProgress() + " / " +seek_bar.getMax());
seek_bar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(
new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener(){
int progress_value;
#Override
public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser) {
progress_value = progress;
text_view.setText("Covered : " + progress + " / " +seek_bar.getMax());
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"SeekBar in progress",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"SeekBar in start",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
text_view.setText("Covered : " + progress_value + " / " +seek_bar.getMax());
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"SeekBar in stop",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
#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);
}
}
This is my layout.
<SeekBar
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/seekbar"
android:layout_above="#+id/bt_pes"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignEnd="#+id/bt_mon"
android:max="5000" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:text="Small Text"
android:id="#+id/seekbarValue"
android:layout_above="#+id/seekbar"
android:layout_below="#+id/bt_caf"
android:layout_alignEnd="#+id/bt_pes"
android:layout_alignStart="#+id/bt_pes" />
When I run I get these error messages and the emulator says that unfortunatly your program has stopped.

The problem is this line:
text_view.setText("Covered : " + seek_bar.getProgress() + " / " +seek_bar.getMax());
Both seek_bar.getProgress() and seek_bar.getMax() return primitive int values. The TextView.setText() method tends to assume primitive int values to be Resource IDs.
To avoid this, use String.valueof() to convert primitive values to a String representation. Or better yet, use a StringBuilder instead of plain String concatenation.

Android Studio can't find Resuorces

This is the error message which shows up when I run the apk on my virtual device.

okay here is my code. I am form germany and so lots of Names are german (i hope thats not a problem.
Maybe it helps.
I guess the error must be in the main activity in one of the toasts. But dont hesitate to look at the other lines.

A/c to logcat error your are getting null reference error. try to update this line
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(),
"Deine Auswahl ist:" + parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
with the following code
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
"Deine Auswahl ist:" + parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

You have not initialised your adapter namely "klassen_adapter" in your main activity. It's null and invoking any method on it will be null pointer exception

Shared Preferences Null Pointer Exception

I am working on adding Shared Preferences to my Note taking Android App and I am running into a peculiar null pointer exception. I am currently testing settings for font size and typeface in my app and have been able to successfully save the shared preferences for both but am having trouble with the retrieval part. When the settings are changed, they successfully change the font and font size on a Fragment for the remainder of time the app is opened but I cannot restore them if the app is restarted.
First weird Null Pointer is in the onCreate.
OnCreate:
//create a new note fragment if one has not been created yet
mNoteFragment = (NoteFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.container);
if (mNoteFragment == null) {
mNoteFragment = new NoteFragment();
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.container, mNoteFragment).commit();
}
//restore SharedPreferences
SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = getPreferences(0);
int stylePref = sharedPrefs.getInt(SharedPreferanceConstants.PREF_FONT_SIZE, 2);
String fontPref = sharedPrefs.getString(SharedPreferanceConstants.PREF_TYPEFACE, "");
Log.e("STYLEID", String.valueOf(stylePref));
Log.e("FONTTYPE", fontPref);
onStyleChange(null , stylePref); //NULL POINTER EXCEPTION HERE
onFontChange(null, fontPref);
The logs output "3" and "Impact" which are the correct values for size and font which indicates that stylePref and fontPref are not null.
The next Null Pointer is below.:
#Override
public void onStyleChange(CustomStyleDialogFragment dialog, int styleId) {
Log.d("NOTEFRAGMENT", String.valueOf(mNoteFragment));
mNoteFragment.setCustomStyle(styleId); //NULL POINTER EXCEPTION HERE
}
#Override
public void onFontChange(CustomStyleDialogFragment dialog, String fontName) {
mNoteFragment.setCustomFont(fontName);
}
I have tested logging the value of styleId and got "3" so that doesn't seem to be the issue. mNoteFragment isnt null either based on the log.
Here is the third NP Exception in the NoteFragment.java. This is where I ultimately set the EditText view to the desired settings. I had no trouble changing font and size without shared preferences so I am not sure the issue here.
public void setCustomFont(String fontName) {
if(fontName.equals("Helvetica")) {
mEditText.setTypeface(mHelvetica);
}
else if(fontName.equals("Helvetica-Neue")) {
mEditText.setTypeface(mHelveticaNeue);
}
else if(fontName.equals("Impact")) {
mEditText.setTypeface(mImpact);
}
else {
mEditText.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT);
}
}
public void setCustomStyle(int styleId) {
if(styleId == 1) {
mEditText.setTextAppearance(getActivity(), android.R.style.TextAppearance_Small);
}
else if(styleId == 2) {
mEditText.setTextAppearance(getActivity(), android.R.style.TextAppearance_Medium);
}
else if(styleId == 3) {
//NULL POINTER EXCEPTION HERE
mEditText.setTextAppearance(getActivity(), android.R.style.TextAppearance_Large);
}
}
And of course, here is the logcat. Thanks in advance!

In your SomeActivity.onCreate() you are creating an instance of NoteFragment, but even if you commit it via a transaction, it won't be inflated and created right away. Which basically means, the NoteFragment.onCreateView() was not executed and the fragments UI is not yet created. However, your Activity.onCreate() assumes, that mFragment.mEditText is already set, which is not the case, so you run into a NullPointerException.
Take a look at the FragmentTransation.commit method: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/FragmentTransaction.html#commit()
Schedules a commit of this transaction. The commit does not happen immediately; it will
be scheduled as work on the main thread to be done the next time that thread is ready.

Your mEditText in your NoteFragment is null at this time, hence the NPE.
Just init your member mEditText in onCreate() or onActivityCreated() of the fragment, not onCreateView(). That should ensure that mEditText is not null when you call your setters.
Whatever happens, you should be protecting against a null mEditText in your setter functions.
EDIT this is what I meant:
public void setCustomFont(String fontName) {
if(mEditText != null){
if(fontName.equals("Helvetica")) {
mEditText.setTypeface(mHelvetica);
}
else if(fontName.equals("Helvetica-Neue")) {
mEditText.setTypeface(mHelveticaNeue);
}
else if(fontName.equals("Impact")) {
mEditText.setTypeface(mImpact);
}
else {
mEditText.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT);
}
}
}
EDIT 2: Oncreate will not be a good place. Basically you want to call your setter after the fragmentmanager has committed your change, so that mEditText has been initialized.
EDIT 3 - Try this with your initial code:
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.container, mNoteFragment).commit();
getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();

Okay so I am not sure why this works but I was able to figure out the anwer based on this question:
onCreateView() in Fragment is not called immediately, even after FragmentManager.executePendingTransactions()
I added the following line
getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();
and then moved everthing to the onStart method
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
//create a new note fragment if one has not been created yet
mNoteFragment = (NoteFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.container);
if (mNoteFragment == null) {
mNoteFragment = new NoteFragment();
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.container, mNoteFragment).commit();
getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();
}
//restore SharedPreferences
SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = getPreferences(0);
int stylePref = sharedPrefs.getInt(SharedPreferanceConstants.PREF_FONT_SIZE, 2);
String fontPref = sharedPrefs.getString(SharedPreferanceConstants.PREF_TYPEFACE, "");
Log.d("STYLEID", String.valueOf(stylePref));
Log.d("FONTTYPE", fontPref);
onStyleChange(null , stylePref);
onFontChange(null, fontPref);
}
and for some reason it works fine now. If anyone could explain why that would be great

Try use 'apply' instead of 'commit' , the justification is here -> What's the difference between commit() and apply() in Shared Preference by Lukas Knuth.
But basically, apply() will commits its changes to the in-memory SharedPreferences immediately.
It's strong recommended use a class to manager your preferences, like 'MyPreferencesManager'.

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:

And the App crashes. Here's my code for the MainActivity where I want it to connect:
public class MainActivity extends BaseGameActivity implements
GameHelper.GameHelperListener, View.OnClickListener {
public static int REQUEST_LEADERBOARD = 1002;
boolean mExplicitSignOut = false;
boolean mInSignInFlow = false;
GoogleApiClient mClient() {
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setRequestedClients(BaseGameActivity.CLIENT_GAMES | BaseGameActivity.CLIENT_APPSTATE);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.startbutton);
button.setOnClickListener (this);
Button highscorebutton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.highscorebutton);
highscorebutton.setOnClickListener(this);
findViewById(R.id.sign_in_button).setOnClickListener(this);
findViewById(R.id.sign_out_button).setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View view) {
if(view.getId()==R.id.startbutton) {
startActivityForResult(new Intent(this, buttonActivity.class), 1);
} else if(view.getId()==R.id.highscorebutton) {
startActivityForResult(Games.Leaderboards.getLeaderboardIntent(getApiClient(), getString(R.string.the_best_players)),REQUEST_LEADERBOARD);
} else if (view.getId() == R.id.sign_in_button) {
// start the asynchronous sign in flow
beginUserInitiatedSignIn();
}
else if (view.getId() == R.id.sign_out_button) {
// sign out.
signOut();
// show sign-in button, hide the sign-out button
findViewById(R.id.sign_in_button).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
findViewById(R.id.sign_out_button).setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
#Override

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);
}

Android - crashes when calling objects

I have a working code now with my thesis but I decided to clean it up using functions/methods/objects (not really sure what to call them) but after organizing them, my app crashes everytime i start it. I dont really know what the problem is.
Main Screen shows Start and Exit Button. When I press START, the app says "Unfortunately thesis has stopped".
My code goes like this:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.items, menu);
View v = (View) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
final EditText txtSearch = ( EditText ) v.findViewById(R.id.txt_search);
txtSearch.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
String curtextArray = txtSearch.getText().toString();
char[] curletters = curtextArray.toCharArray();
char[] curenhancedLetters = curtextArray.toCharArray();
//probably, problem here on Stemming stem
Stemming stem = new Stemming(curtextArray, curletters, curenhancedLetters);
AsyncTaskRunner newTask = new AsyncTaskRunner(enhancedStem);
// and probably, problem is here on the stem.<x process>;
stem.removeApostrophe();
stem.vowelMarking();
stem.shortSyllable();
if (continueStem == 1){
stem.region1();
stem.region2();
stem.shortWord();
stem.step0();
stem.step1a();
stem.step1b();
newTask.execute();
}
return false;
};
});
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
Here's my Stemming Class
public class Stemming {
String textArray;
char[] letters;
char[] enhancedLetters;
public Stemming (String curtextArray, char[] curletters, char[] curenhancedLetters){
this.textArray = curtextArray;
this.letters = curletters;
this.enhancedLetters = curenhancedLetters;
}
public Stemming(){
}
public void removeApostrophe(){
...processes here
}
public void vowelMarking(){
...processes here
}
public void shortSyllable(){
...processes here
}
public void region1(){
...processes here
}
public void region2(){
...processes here
}
public void shortWord(){
...processes here
}
public void step0(){
...processes here
}
public void step1a(){
...processes here
}
public void step1b(){
...processes here
}
}
}
I have a theory on why it crashes. Is this method possible? (pseudocode):
public class Stemming {
String result;
String sample = "A A A A A";
public void changeAtoB{
//do process to convert all As to Bs making String sample = "B B B B B"
result = sample;
}
public void changeBtoC{
//do process to convert all Bs to Cs making String result = "C C C C C"
result = result;
}
... so on {
}
}
What I did was process the string in a straight manner without doing any variable declarations (my variables are declared globally) or initializations. and I also did not put any return statements.
My code used to work when It was still without those functions/methods/objects.
Sorry about my long post. Don't know how to explain it better. I hope you help me. Thank you in Advance!

(I'm using my phone by the way. Not an emulator. If this makes a difference)

It looks like you are getting a NullPointerException because v is null at this line:
final EditText txtSearch = ( EditText ) v.findViewById(R.id.txt_search);
This is probably caused by null being returned from the menu items action view here:
View v = (View) menu.findItem(R.id.search).getActionView();
You should either set the action view in code and not call getActionView or make sure you have a proper action view set in the menu XML. Without seeing your menu XML it's hard to tell if the problem lies in the XML.
