I have the problem, that whenever I try to add any Listener onto my ToggleButton, the App is not even starting and just crashing. In this Codeexample I tried it with an setOnCheckedChangeListener.
It is already crashing, when I just set this even without any Listener:
tglButton = (ToggleButton)findViewById(R.id.tglBtn);
MainActivity.java
package com.example.paulii.myapplication2;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.CompoundButton;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.ToggleButton;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
ListView mListView;
Button button_stpd;
DBAdapter myDB;
Button btn_delete;
ToggleButton tglButton;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
openDB();
populateListView();
button_stpd = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_createNewAlarm);
button_stpd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, createNewWecker.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
mListView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.stationList);
mListView.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
myDB.deleteRow(id);
populateListView();
return false;
}
});
btn_delete = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_delete);
btn_delete.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
myDB.deleteAll();
populateListView();
}
});
tglButton = (ToggleButton)findViewById(R.id.tglBtn);
tglButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), String.valueOf(buttonView.isChecked()),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
public void populateListView(){
Cursor cursor = myDB.getAllRows();
String[] fromFieldNames = new String[]{DBAdapter.KEY_TASK};
int[] toViewIDs = new int[]{R.id.textStation};
SimpleCursorAdapter myCursorAdapter;
myCursorAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(getBaseContext(), R.layout.textview_list, cursor, fromFieldNames, toViewIDs,0);
ListView myList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.stationList);
myList.setAdapter(myCursorAdapter);
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
}
private void openDB(){
myDB = new DBAdapter(this);
myDB.open();
}
private void closeDB(){
myDB.close();
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
closeDB();
}
}
As you can see, I try to add the setOnCheckedChangeListener to the tglButton as always. But I don´t understand why the Application is crashing after that.
I created the button in the textview_list.xml layout. Is the problem, that I can´t access that button from my MainActivity?

Maybe some of you can help me out?
