Android: addTextChangedListener crash app

Question

I have been trying to use the addTextChangedListener for three days, The log says that it is caused by java.lang.NullPointerException. When I comment the addTextChangedListener block the program runs fine.

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.os.Build;
import android.view.inputmethod.EditorInfo;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class calc extends ActionBarActivity {
    EditText text;
    private TextView textout;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_calc);
        text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.fs);
        if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                    .add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment())
                    .commit();
        }
        text.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i2, int i3) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i2, int i3) {            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
            }
        });
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.calc, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    /**
     * A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
     */
    public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {

        public PlaceholderFragment() {
        }

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_calc, container, false);
            return rootView;
        }
    }



}

And here we have the log.

The log says that the problem is found in onCreate and it is caused by a java.lang.NullPointerException.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for everything!

I have also tried to debbug it in my phone, I get the same problem.

Answer 1

I found the problem. My layout was on fragment_main, sorry!

Thanks for the help!!

Answer 2

try change TextView text; to EditText text;

Answer 3

I'm not entirely sure why you app compiles in the first place, but the problem initially was that your findViewById() method was returning null because it couldn't find a view matching your ID.

Your current issues include: - Your text object is declared as TextView while it should be an EditText - In your layout, your view with id R.id.fs is a TextView when it should be an EditText.
