Im trying to build a free book swap app for months. Got stuck in NavigationView code that points to a null object. I have extracted the full java for your persual. This is my very first call for help.
What i dont understand is, there is:
NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view); navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this)
which is referenced to:
public class MainmainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener
but the error message points to NullPointerException. as below:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{booksavenue.co.booksavenue/booksavenue.co.booksavenue.MainmainActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.support.design.widget.NavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(android.support.design.widget.NavigationView$OnNavigationItemSelectedListener)' on a null object reference
package booksavenue.co.booksavenue;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.design.widget.NavigationView;
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.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainmainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
private DrawerLayout drawer;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
drawer = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, toolbar,
R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container,
new MessageFragment()).commit();
navigationView.setCheckedItem(R.id.nav_message);
}
}
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.nav_message:
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container,
new MessageFragment()).commit();
break;
case R.id.nav_chat:
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container,
new ChatFragment()).commit();
break;
case R.id.nav_profile:
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container,
new ProfileFragment()).commit();
break;
case R.id.nav_share:
Toast.makeText(this, "Share", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case R.id.nav_send:
Toast.makeText(this, "Send", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
}
initally i thought it is android:theme NoActionBar issue. but seems that it is not the case. Attaching the manifast file for your perusal too
