Gridview with NullPointerException?

Question

I dont know why this code give me a NullPointerException with a gridview

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private GridView listaVirus; 

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
     Plagas.indicializaBD(this);

     BaseAdapter adaptador = new AdaptadorCursorPlagas(this,
             Plagas.listado());
     listaVirus = (GridView) listaVirus.findViewById(R.id.gridViewMain);
     listaVirus.setAdapter(adaptador);
     listaVirus.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(){
         public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent,View v,int position,long id){
             Bundle b=new Bundle();
             Intent i= new Intent(MainActivity.this, PlantasFragmentActivity.class);
             i.putExtra("id", id);
             startActivity(i);
         }
     });

}


public class AdaptadorCursorPlagas extends CursorAdapter {
private LayoutInflater inflador; // Crea Layouts a partir del XML
TextView nombre;
ImageView foto;
private Context contexto;

public AdaptadorCursorPlagas(Context contexto, Cursor c) {
    super(contexto, c, false);
}

public View getView(int position, View vista, ViewGroup padre,Cursor c) {
    vista=padre;

    if(vista==null){
        inflador = (LayoutInflater) contexto

        .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        vista = inflador.inflate(R.layout.elemento_lista_bichos, padre, false);
    }
    nombre = (TextView) vista.findViewById(R.id.nombre_lista_bichos);
    foto = (ImageView) vista.findViewById(R.id.foto_lista_bichos);
    nombre.setText(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("nombre"))); 
    foto.setImageResource(c.getColumnIndex("foto"));
    foto.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_END);

    return vista;
}

@Override
public View newView(Context contexto, Cursor c, ViewGroup padre) {
    View vista=padre;

    if(vista==null){
            inflador = (LayoutInflater) contexto

            .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            vista = inflador.inflate(R.layout.elemento_lista_bichos, padre, false);
    }
    return vista;
}

@Override
public void bindView(View vista, Context contexto, Cursor c) {
    nombre = (TextView) vista.findViewById(R.id.nombre_lista_bichos);
    foto = (ImageView) vista.findViewById(R.id.foto_lista_bichos);
    nombre.setText(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("nombre"))); 
    foto.setImageResource(c.getColumnIndex("foto"));
    foto.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_END);

}

}

And this is my logcat:

Sorry if some thing is not clear but it's my first post. Thanks

You want to call `findViewById()` on the Activity, not the GridView. Remove `listaVirus.` from that line. — Mike M., Nov 30 '15 at 09:18

In your line of code: ERROR (GridView) listaVirus.findViewById(R.id.gridViewMain);

listaVirus should be a xml layout containing your GridView.

But here you don't have to use listaVirus.findViewById(R.id.gridViewMain);

simply do it without listaVirus.(i.e.)

GridView listaVirus =(GridView)findViewById(R.id.gridViewMain);

You have to findViewById() on activity not GridView.

Remove listaVirus from below line

listaVirus = (GridView) listaVirus.findViewById(R.id.gridViewMain);
