Unable to start Activity Componentinfo (Adapter Constructor)

I tried to create a simple listview. I've done it many times & this is the first time i face such errors. Tried this in both Eclipse Luna & indigo. Both have the same error.
Here is where i create an instant of the adapter :
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class ActivityMain extends Activity {
public ArrayList<StructRemedy> remedies = new ArrayList<StructRemedy>();
private ListView lstContent;
public AdapterRemedy adapter;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
lstContent = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lstContent);
adapter = new AdapterRemedy(remedies);
randomPopulation();
lstContent.setAdapter(adapter);
}
private void randomPopulation() {
for (int i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
StructRemedy remedy = new StructRemedy();
remedy.title = "Remedy" + i;
remedy.description = "Desc" + i;
remedy.rateValue = (float) (Math.random() * 5);
remedy.type = "tisane";
remedy.use = "Headaches";
remedies.add(remedy);
}
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
Now the error log (The error referes to the line where i create the constructor , u know the "super" line) :

This is the adapter :
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.RatingBar;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class AdapterRemedy extends ArrayAdapter<StructRemedy> {
public AdapterRemedy(ArrayList<StructRemedy> remedies) {
super(G.context, R.layout.adapter_notes, remedies);
}
private static class ViewHolder {
public TextView txtTitle;
public TextView txtType;
public TextView txtFor;
public RatingBar rating;
public ViewGroup layoutRoot;
public ImageView imgLogo;
public ViewHolder(View view) {
layoutRoot = (ViewGroup) view.findViewById(R.id.layoutRoot);
txtTitle = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txtTitle);
txtType = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txtType);
txtFor = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txtFor);
rating = (RatingBar) view.findViewById(R.id.rate);
imgLogo = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imgLogo);
}
public void fill(final ArrayAdapter<StructRemedy> adapter, final StructRemedy item, final int position) {
txtTitle.setText(item.title);
txtType.setText(item.type);
txtFor.setText(item.use);
rating.setRating(item.rateValue);
//imgLogo.setImageBitmap(bm);
layoutRoot.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(G.currentActivity, ActivitySelect.class);
intent.putExtra("POSITION", position);
G.currentActivity.startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
StructRemedy item = getItem(position);
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = G.inflater.inflate(R.layout.adapter_notes, parent, false);
holder = new ViewHolder(convertView);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.fill(this, item, position);
return convertView;
}
}

Try this :
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
lstContent = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lstContent);
randomPopulation();
}
Put adapter = new AdapterRemedy (remedies ) ; after randomPopulation. Or set adapter in randomPopulation method.
And remove adapter.notifyDataSetchanged() from randomPopulation.
Do some changes in your adapter code :
public AdapterRemedy(ArrayList<StructRemedy> remedies) {
super(G.context, R.layout.adapter_notes, remedies);
}
Change it to this :
public AdapterRemedy(context,ArrayList<StructRemedy> remedies) {
super(context, R.layout.adapter_notes, remedies);
}
And in randomPopulation :
adapter = new AdapterRemedy(this,remedies);
lstContent.setAdapter(adapter);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Change your onCreate() like ,
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
lstContent = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lstContent);
randomPopulation();
adapter = new AdapterRemedy(remedies);
lstContent.setAdapter(adapter);
}
Call randomPopulation() before the adater Initialization. remove
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

and it all goes downhill from there.
Looks like JsonParseException (and possibly other classes from Jackson) are not being included in your APK. This could happen if they're not being exported by Eclipse.
Instead of adding it as an external library, just place jackson-core-x.x.x.jar in the libs folder of your Android project and it should be enough to ensure this.

Display other data based on spinner selection

I have an xml file where I am displaying the text from the first tag, treasure name, in a spinner for the user to select. Once selected, I need to be able to access the other data associated to the treasure name selected that is stored in the xml document (in data file stored on device). I've parsed through the xml file and store each item in a separate array list. When a user clicks on a button (Get Clue), I need to be able to display the first clue associated to that treasure. This project is due today by midnight, and this is the last piece I just can't seem to get. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I added code to try and do this:

I ran into same Error (java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=12; index=-1) with spinners too. In my case, I was trying to setAdapter on spinner outside the ui thread. After wrapping the related code inside runOnUiThread, the issue is solved.

nullpointerexception cannot start activity

I keep getting nullpointerexception errors when I try to start a second activity from my main activity, my main activity code goes as such:

}

{

the function that seems to be causing the problem is in my second activity, over here:

setContentView(R.layout.display_dare);
setupActionBar();
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
Boolean input = bundle.getBoolean("INPUT");
if (input == false){}
else
{
int[] taskId = bundle.getIntArray("TASKID");
final String[] taskArray = bundle.getStringArray("TASKS");
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout);
TextView test = (TextView)findViewById(taskId[0]);
test.setText(taskArray[1]);
layout.addView(test);
}
}
}
the error I get is this:

After pasing your code it seems line 34 is:
layout.addView(test);
So this line generates a nullpointer exception
Check if the id of your layout is the same.
Tip:
Further in your error stacktrace you can see what causes the error:
03-08 13:32:18.053: E/AndroidRuntime(6873): Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
03-08 13:32:18.053: E/AndroidRuntime(6873): at com.cep.daredevil.DisplayDares.onCreate(DisplayDares.java:34)
DisplayDares.java:34
Means line 34 in your DisplayDares.java file.
You will see it is the following line:
layout.addView(test);
Now test cannot be NULL because it wouldn't have thrown that error. So layout must be.

App Crashes when Button is clicked (Passing a string between two classes.)

Get Bundle in Oncreate Method
And
Use Like
Intent i = new Intent(Login.this,logincheck.class);
i.putExtra("key", user);
i.putExtra("key1", pass);
startActivity(i);
And
user = (TextView) findViewById(R.layout.logincheck);
Instead of
user = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.logincheck);
So User is Null

On your main activity you're creating the Bundle and inserting the content in it, but you're not sending it to the the intent.
You should put the information on the Intent before starting the second activity. Do something like this:
Intent a = new Intent(LogIn.this, logincheck.class);
a.putExtra("key", u);
a.putExtra("key", p);
startActivity(a);

I will try to give u a clue how to solve it..it can be even more fail-proffed but this should work for u..
Intent i = new Intent(LogIn.this, logincheck.class);
i.putExtra("username", sUsername);
i.putExtra("password", SPassword);
To get the saved data in new activity try with:
String newString;
if(extras == null) {
sUsernameInNewActivity = null;
sPasswordInNewActivity = null;
} else {
sUsernameInNewActivity = extras.getString("username");
sPasswordInNewActivity = extras.getString("password");
}
btw. A lot of bad practice in your code.. :( I have troubles to read it easy..
for example:
you have two variables with different scope and type but exactly the same name (try to find it)
did u want to join something with this code or???
send.putString("key", u);
send.putString("key", p);
how u thought to get them later? together/separately?
Hope u will solve it. Cheers
