Inflater error during Intent call

Question

I have 3 java file MainActivity.java, AlertDialogUtil.java, and AddMoreDetails.java. In MainActivity.java a call to AlertDialogUtil.java an alert dialog will pop up there's an option button. When a button pressed an intent to a new activity AddMoreDetails.java will be call. Now when i try to press a button/any button Forced Closed has occur. I already read some answer's here but no luck at all. I'm just new learner in Android. I read more but still i can't make it work. Any help will do.

Here's my Code:

A call here MainActivity.java

alertDialog = AlertDialogUtil.whiteDialog(MainActivity.this);

in AlertDialogUtil.java

public class AlertDialogUtil extends DialogFragment{
public static AlertDialog whiteDialog(final Context context){
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context,
                AlertDialog.THEME_DEVICE_DEFAULT_LIGHT);
        builder.setTitle("Add more Details")
        .setIcon(R.drawable.grm_edit)
        .setCancelable(false)
        .setMessage("We would like you to add more details.")
        .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            //@Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int arg1) {
                //Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "You press YES:)", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                //toast.show();
                Context mcontext = null;
                Intent myIntent = new Intent(mcontext, AddMoreDetails.class);
                mcontext.startActivity(myIntent);    
                dialog.cancel();
            }
        })
        .setNegativeButton("NO", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                dialog.cancel();
            }
        });
        AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
        alertDialog.show();
        return alertDialog;
    }
}

in AddMoreDetails.java This class will call in pressing YES button.

My manifest file.

<activity
            android:name=".AddMoreDetails"
            android:label="@string/more_details"
            android:parentActivityName=".MainActivity"/>

        <activity
            android:name="com.example.junienegentein_screenshotapp.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

Answer 1

You already have the Context, why do you need to create a new variable with null value and use the null variable. No need.

Change

Context mcontext = null;
Intent myIntent = new Intent(mcontext, AddMoreDetails.class);

to

Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, AddMoreDetails.class); // use context from method parameter

Update

I suspect this is package name issue.

Try changing package of class SquareImageView to com.example.junienegentein_screenshotapp

Answer 2

You are getting a NPE because you are using the Intent constructor by passing a null as parameter..

   ....
     //toast.show();
     Context mcontext = null;
     Intent myIntent = new Intent(mcontext, AddMoreDetails.class);

instead use the context passed in the method param..

public static AlertDialog whiteDialog(final Context context){
        Context mcontext = context;  //<-- HERE!!
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context,
                AlertDialog.THEME_DEVICE_DEFAULT_LIGHT);
        builder.setTitle("Add more Details")
        .setIcon(R.drawable.grm_edit)
        .setCancelable(false)
        .setMessage("We would like you to add more details.")
        .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            //@Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int arg1) {
                //Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "You press YES:)", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                //toast.show();
                //Context mcontext = null;  //moved up!
                Intent myIntent = new Intent(mcontext, AddMoreDetails.class);
                mcontext.startActivity(myIntent);    
                dialog.cancel();
            }
        })

Answer 3

You're creating your new intent with a null context instead of the activity context.

Context mcontext = null;
Intent myIntent = new Intent(mcontext, AddMoreDetails.class);

change mcontext to context, and delete Context mcontext = null;

Answer 4

I think it happens due to the NullPointerException

Context mcontext = null;
Intent myIntent = new Intent(mcontext, AddMoreDetails.class);

You should remove the below line from your code.

Context mcontext = null;
