I am using a RecyclerView and a Async Task to update the view in this RecyclerView but I am getting a null pointer exception at a RecyclerView.setAdapter. My FetchMoviePoster class contains the Async Task and PhotoAlbumAdapter contains the adapter for the Recycler View.
Can anyone please help me with that
MainActivityFragment
public class MainActivityFragment extends Fragment implements PhotoAlbumAdapter.OnItemClickListener {
private RecyclerView recyclerView;
private RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager;
PhotoAlbumAdapter mAdapter;
FetchMoviePoster movie_fetch;
public MainActivityFragment() {
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.movie_sort, menu);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_sort) {
return true;
}
if(id== R.id.pop){
updateMovie("popularity.desc");
return true;
}
if(id== R.id.vote){
updateMovie("vote_average.desc");
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
recyclerView = (RecyclerView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.recyle_view);
recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
layoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(getActivity(), 2, GridLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
movie_fetch= new FetchMoviePoster();
registerForContextMenu(recyclerView);
updateMovie("vote_count.desc");
return rootView;
}
private void updateMovie(String c) {
movie_fetch.execute(c);
}
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
getActivity().getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.pop_up_menu, menu);
}
public void update_the_Adaptor(String[] st){
mAdapter = new PhotoAlbumAdapter(new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(st)), getContext());
recyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
mAdapter.SetOnItemClickListener(MainActivityFragment.this);
}
@Override
public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {
Log.v("Actual position", Integer.toString(position));
Intent detail= new Intent(getActivity(),DetailActivity.class);
detail.putExtra("position",position);
detail.putExtra("poster", movie_fetch.resultStrs);
detail.putExtra("title",movie_fetch. movie_title);
detail.putExtra("plot", movie_fetch.movie_plot);
