I am a complete newbie in android development. At the moment I am trying to replicate an app I saw on where it is possible to convert multiple images (jpeg, png, jpg) into a single pdf file. I have tried to do the most I can with debugging. But I don't understand why there are still this NullPointer Exception.
Oh and by the way please pardon me if I have some mistakes in placing proper tags or such in my question this is my first question thank you.
Here's my code for the ConvertToPDFConverter.java
package com.example.lenovo_thinkpad.mobilelectureboard;
import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.design.widget.NavigationView;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.view.GravityCompat;
import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
public class ConvertToPDFConverter extends AppCompatActivity implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
DrawerLayout drawer;
android.support.v7.app.ActionBar bar;
CustomActionBarDrawerToggle toggle;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_convert_to_pdfconverter);
bar = this.getSupportActionBar();
assert bar != null;
bar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
bar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
bar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
drawer = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary));
try {
toggle = new CustomActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer);
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
// Set navigation drawer
// Set com.example.lenovo_thinkpad.mobilelectureboard.Home fragment
Fragment fragment = new Home();
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content, fragment).commit();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
// Handle navigation view item clicks here.
int id = item.getItemId();
Fragment fragment;
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
switch (id) {
case R.id.nav_camera:
fragment = new Home();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content, fragment).commit();
break;
case R.id.nav_gallery:
fragment = new ViewFiles();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content, fragment).commit();
break;
}
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
private class CustomActionBarDrawerToggle extends ActionBarDrawerToggle {
CustomActionBarDrawerToggle(Activity mActivity,
DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout) {
super(mActivity, mDrawerLayout, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
}
@Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
bar.setTitle(getString(R.string.navigation_drawer_close));
invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
@Override
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
bar.setTitle(getString(R.string.navigation_drawer_open));
invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
}
}
