I am new to android and I am getting a
Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.widget.TextView.setText(java.lang.CharSequence)' on a null object reference
error on my app. I have read other questions on here like this one - java.lang.NullPointerException - setText on null object reference but I still get the same issue. My format is a little bit different as this is done in a Fragment and what I am doing is having a Custom Adapter from a listview. Here is my code
fragment_song_genre.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

</data>
<RelativeLayout

android:layout_height="match_parent"

That is the main page and it has a Listview in the Bottom and here is the fragment that calls that xml layout
public class FilterSongGenreFragment extends BaseFragment {
private SongGenreBinding binding;
private ArrayList<String> genres;
String[] names= {"Johm","Paul","Mike"};
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
}
private static final String GENRES_KEY = "genres";
public static FilterSongGenreFragment newInstance(ArrayList<String> genres) {
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putStringArrayList(GENRES_KEY, genres);
FilterSongGenreFragment fragment = new FilterSongGenreFragment();
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(inflater, R.layout.fragment_song_genre, container, false);
binding.setHandler(this);
genres = getArguments().getStringArrayList(GENRES_KEY);
initList();
return binding.getRoot();
}
private void initList() {
// ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(getActivity(), R.layout.genre_list_text, android.R.id.text1, genres);
FilterSongsAdapter filterSongsAdapter= new FilterSongsAdapter(getActivity(),names);
binding.list.setAdapter(filterSongsAdapter);
binding.list.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view,int position, long l) {
((SongFilterListener) getActivity()).onGenreSelected(genres.get(position));
/*
textView = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.selected_genre);
textView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
*/
// close();
}
});
}
private void close() {
getActivity().getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(this).commit();
}
public void onCloseClicked(View view) {
close();
}
public void reset(View view) {
((SongFilterListener) getActivity()).onResetFilters();
close();
}
}
Here is the xml for the listview custom style genre_list_text.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="@android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical|left"
android:text="Genre"
android:paddingBottom="16dp"
android:paddingLeft="4dp"
android:paddingTop="16dp"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/selected_genre"
android:layout_height="24dp"
android:layout_width="24dp"
android:visibility="invisible"
android:src="@drawable/check_circle"
android:layout_marginStart="140dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
and here is my adapter and as stated before the error happens in the SetText area
public class FilterSongsAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
private Context c;
String[] names= {};
LayoutInflater inflater;
public FilterSongsAdapter(Context context,String[] names) {
super(context,R.layout.genre_list_text,names);
this.c=context;
this.names=names;
}
public static class ViewHolder {
TextView text1;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position,View convertView,ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if(convertView==null){
holder = new ViewHolder();
inflater = (LayoutInflater) c.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
convertView = inflater.from(c).inflate(R.layout.genre_list_text, null);
// Initialize
holder.text1=(TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.text1);
convertView.setTag(holder);
}else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.text1.setText(names[position]);
return convertView;
}
}
The SetText inside the GetView is throwing the exception every time, that TextView should have 3 objects names from the Names String Array which I have seen that it has. Based on the error I know that i'm setting the SetText before the FindByID method locates the TextView but I have moved things around and nothing works. Any help would be great . I also been following this tutorial for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99C_UpLcBRk . I do not know if maybe with a Fragment things are different.
