Android spinner onselecteditem spinner is null? - java

below find all my code and xml. My problem is that the spinner (in code spinner1) is null for some reason I can't determine and I get no errors other than the app failing to run. Any help would be appreciated!
activity_main.xml:

Layouts' Gui:

if you want to user spinner from activity_main then you have to put it in that file because right now its not their and it is in encryption.xml file.
make activity_main.xml like below:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:android1="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
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=".MainActivity$Encryption" >
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/black"
tools:context=".MainActivity" />
<Spinner
android1:id="#+id/encryptionSpin"
android1:layout_width="fill_parent"
android1:layout_height="wrap_content"
android1:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android1:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android1:layout_marginTop="14dp"
android1:background="#color/orange"
android1:entries="#array/cryptArray" />
</RelativeLayout>

You have inflated the layout activity_main in your activity and you are trying to access the Spinner which is not in your activity_main layout.
In that point you are getting error. As the Spinner does not resides in your activity_main layout.
So will have to initialize your Spinner in DummySectionFragment onCreateView method as below:
public static class DummySectionFragment extends Fragment {
public static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";
public DummySectionFragment() {
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = null;
if (getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER)==1) {
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.encryption,container, false);
Spinner spinner1 = (Spinner)rootView.findViewById(R.id.encryptionSpin);
}

you see there is null pointer exception.
means you have no control on the components you are using.
this could be caused due to two reason
1. two components have same ids.
2. wrong defined layout.
in your case you are using layout
R.layout.activity_main
while your layout name is
R.layout.encryption
change the name of layout and you are ready to go.

You putting ViewPager in activity_mail layout and Spinner in encryption.xml if u setting content view as any one of xml. so any one ll identify another one will not be identify. It will throw the null pointer exception.
R.layout.activity_main having ViewPager
R.layout.encryption having Spinner
if u set setcontentView(R.layout.activity_main) then findViewById(R.id.encryptionSpin); line will throw null pointer.
if u set setcontentView(R.layout.encryption) then mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager); line will throw null pointer.

The fragment will show when the ☰ is clicked. But the app crashes because of the existence of fragment inside the acitvity layout.
I already have a layout for the fragment and I didn't make any changes to it so I don't know if I need to post it here. Thanks
Your error is this
.RuntimeException: com.example.user.sample.MainActivity#197f8eef must implement OnListFragmentInteractionListener
So your activity needs to implement OnListFragmentInteractionListener.
So add
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements
OnListFragmentInteractionListener{
....

switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_settings:
return true;
case R.id.showsth:
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.setCustomAnimations(android.R.animator.fade_in,
android.R.animator.fade_out);
ft.show(fm.findFragmentById(R.id.fragment));
ft.commit();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
}
ft.show(fm.findFragmentById(R.id.fragment));
this line causes the problem
fm.findFragmentById(R.id.fragment) returns null.
With this line you are trying to find a fragment in layout/activity_main which is previously added to R.id.fragment.
If you didn't add or replace fragment before, it is obvious to return null AMK
I fix this issue.
This situation caused by adding fragment without any framelayout.
Once add framelayout to main activity. And give it id;
<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=".MainActivity">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="450dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="false"
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"></FrameLayout>
Second;
Create fragment with its activty. In this example our fragment name may be FragmentTest.java and our Fragments activity may be fragment_activity.xml.
And adding fragment to main activiy;
In Oncreate method you should add this line;
FragmentTest Mfragmenttest = new FragmentTest();
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
//R.id.frameLayout is our frame layouts id.
ft.add(R.id.frameLayout, Mfragmenttest , "Hello Fragment");
ft.commit

Fragment TextView ID Causing Crash

I am mainly looking for clarification and advice on this. In the app I am working on I setup a fragment for handling some basic controls and text, and moved the necessary XML from the activities layout file into the fragments layout file, without making any changes. However now when I run the app I get a NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION and it seems to be caused at line 19 in my GameStart activty when I try to set the textView by its ID. I have not changed the ID, only moved it to the fragment layout file, so I have two questions:
1) What exactly is the reason this is happening, because something similar happened before that I resolved but I don't see the reason it was happening in the reference docs on Android Developers
2) Any advice on how to fix this
Below is the GameStart activity, LogCat with the error, and the XML files in question. Thanks in advance, I've spent 2 hours now trying to find this answer.

No, you don't have any fragment here, read more on How to use fragments.
But that's not your problem it should work the way you did it.
The only problem is that you're calling findViewById in your constructor, or even before that.
findViewById only works if you have a UI, so you must do all UI initialization after setContentView in onCreate!
TextView storyText;
...
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_game_start);
storyText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.storyText);
}
Also don't forget to call show() on decisionTime.
TextView storyText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.storyText);
This should only be called after you set your contentview.
The final result should be:
TextView storyText;
And then on onCreate
setContentView(R.layout.activity_game_start);
storyText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.storyText);
1) The reason this is happening is that the view has not yet been instantiated at the time you are trying to get it's reference.
2) How to fix it: if you have a Fragment, then you should get a reference to it's View's in the Fragment.onCreateView() method. Then you can setup the Activity to talk to the Fragment to do whatever changes you need to the View.

Try setting
layout_gravity="start" or layout_gravity="left"
in your left_drawer instead of gravity

Android app, dynamic activity window with buttons

I am stuck with an idea.
I am trying to implement a feature in a android application.
I have an edittext and a button, if I enter 3 in edittext
and press the button I want to go to another activity which will be having 3 buttons.
If i enter 10 I wanna go to another activity where to display 10 buttons.
I know how to make such switch, I don't know how to do it dynamically ,
I want to make for values between 0 and 10 and I don't want to have 10 fragments .
Plaese give me solution to achieve it ..

You can get the value from the editText by...
String value= EditText.getText().toString();
Pass the value to another activity (Activity2) through Intent
Now in Activity2 you write this code in the onCreate()
for(int i=1 ; i<= value ; i++){
Button b = new Button(getApplicationContext());
LinearLayout.addView(b);
}
Answer to your edited question.....
main xml file activity_table:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
layout file to be inflated layout_inflate:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/ShowValue"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Text" />
</LinearLayout>
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_tabel);
Intent intentObject = getIntent();
value = intentObject.getIntExtra("max", 0);
LinearLayout layout= (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout)
for(i=0;i<=value;i++)
{
LayoutInflater layoutinflate = null;
layoutinflate = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View rowview = layoutinflate.inflate( R.layout.layout_inflate, null);
TextView showvalue;
showvalue = (TextView) rowview.findViewById(R.id.ShowValue);
showvalue.setText(""+value);
layout.addView(rowview);
}
You can retrieve the EditText value on tha Button click. And pass the Value with the intent.
In that Activity you can build your logic Using Swicth cases. Then you can add the number of Buttons dynamically (eg:- for(i=0;i<yourValue;i++) yourValue is got From intent.)
