Tic Tac Toe - Draw and Win Bug after 9 moves

I have written a tic-tac-toe. However, its local multiplayer screen (I have one AI match screen too - completed) has 1 issue.

It detects win very easily until 9 boxes are played. If 9 boxes are played, it declares a draw even if any one has won.

Below is my code. Please help.

static int activePlayer = 0; //Handles the player state
static boolean gameIsActive = true; //Checks whether the game is active or not

static int gameMoves = 0; //Handles the number of game moves -- Useful in draw games (9 Moves)

static int[] gameState = {2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2}; //Handles the GameState -- 2 means Unplayed

ImageView homeImageView; //Green Home Button
GridLayout boardGrid; //Tic-Tac-Toe Game Board
TextView resultTextView; //Dummy Result Text
Button resetButton; //Dummy Reset Button

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_local_multiplayer);


    //Initialization
    homeImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.iv_green_home);
    boardGrid = (GridLayout) findViewById(R.id.boardGrid);
    resultTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.resultTextView);
    resetButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.resetButton);

//Handles fading in animation of the board pieces + GAME LOGIC!
public void fadeIn(View view) {

    gameMoves++; //Increments the number of moves with each click on board piece

    //Getting the view into an boardPiece(ImageView) (ofcourse its an ImageView, thats why)
    ImageView boardPiece = (ImageView) view;

    //Game Logic

    int tappedCounter = Integer.parseInt(boardPiece.getTag().toString()); //Tapped Location
    int[][] winningPositions = {{0, 1, 2}, {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8}, {0, 3, 6},
            {1, 4, 7}, {2, 5, 8}, {0, 4, 8}, {2, 4, 6}}; //Winning Positions Location

    if (gameState[tappedCounter] == 2 && gameIsActive) {

        gameState[tappedCounter] = activePlayer;

        //Checking SharedPreferences Themes
        int themeChosen = Utils.loadPreferences(getBaseContext(), "theme", 0);

        //Changing Board Pieces based on Theme Selected
        if (themeChosen == 0) {
            if (activePlayer == 0) {

So the issue is that when it is looping through the different possible winning positions, if it encounters a possible winning position that is not 3 in a row, it will report it as a tie once 9 moves have been played. What you need to do is create an int winner and default that to 2. Your for should look like this now

int winner = 2;
for (int[] winningPosition : winningPositions) {

    //Checking SharedPreferences Themes
    int themeChosen = Utils.loadPreferences(getBaseContext(), "theme", 0);

    if (gameState[winningPosition[0]] == gameState[winningPosition[1]]
            && gameState[winningPosition[1]] == gameState[winningPosition[2]]
            && gameState[winningPosition[0]] != 2) {

        //Someone has won!
        gameIsActive = false; //Disable Game Playablity

        winner = gameState[winningPosition[0]];
        break;
    } else if(gameMoves >= 9) {
        gameIsActive = false;
    }
}

Then outside the for loop you should have

if(winner != 2) {
  CODE FOR HANDLING WIN HERE
} else {
  CODE FOR HANDLING DRAW HERE
}
