Java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int android.view.View.getWidth()' on a null object reference

Question

I have developed an app which contains fragment View but I was exposed to a problem, the app is crashing. Can you help me in solving the problem?

Error I am getting is:

   java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int android.view.View.getWidth()' on a null object reference

Looks like you have defined the variable Fragmentone_view locally to method onViewCreated()

@Override
    public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
        this.Fragmentone_view = view.findViewById(R.id.container);
    }

To utilize the variable in another method, you need to define it globally.

private View Fragmentone_view;

didnt initialize properly thats why you getting null pointer exception

try below code

@Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_one,container,false);
        this.Fragmentone_view = rootView
        MobileAds.initialize(this.getContext(), "ca-app-pub9961705383410701~3103812044");
        MyAdView2 = rootView.findViewById(R.id.MyAdView2);
        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
        MyAdView2.loadAd(adRequest);
        WebView webView;
        webView=(WebView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.Web_View2);
        webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());


        //ربط الفيو بالصفحات
        webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/webfiles/index.html");
        return rootView;
    }

Try this \

replace :

     public class FragmentOne extends Fragment implements ScreenShotable {

         ...
    //replace this line with >> private FrameLayout Fragmentone_view;
        private View Fragmentone_view;
...
}

with :

private FrameLayout Fragmentone_view;
