Android USSD code

Question

I have created a function to process ussd request like below

   public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
        implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
    private static final int RQS_PICK_CONTACT = 1;
    private static final String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "ethio";
    private static final String TAG = " " ;
    Button buttonPickContact;
    /**
     * ATTENTION: This was auto-generated to implement the App Indexing API.
     * See https://g.co/AppIndexing/AndroidStudio for more information.
     */
    private GoogleApiClient client;

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

        Button yanos = (Button) findViewById(R.id.yanos);
        TextView checkbalance = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.checkbalance);
        checkbalance.setClickable(true);





        if (yanos != null) {
            yanos.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.yanosplc.com");
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
            });
        }


        final TextView pnumber = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.pnumber);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        Button checkb = (Button) findViewById(R.id.checkb);
        final Button rebal = (Button) findViewById(R.id.rebal);
        final Button transfer = (Button) findViewById(R.id.transfer);
        final Button callme = (Button) findViewById(R.id.callme);
        //final Button forme = (Button) findViewById(R.id.forme);
        //final Button foru = (Button) findViewById(R.id.foru);


        buttonPickContact = (Button) findViewById(R.id.pickcontact);
        buttonPickContact.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
                intent.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
                startActivityForResult(intent, 1);

            }
        });


        DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
                this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
        drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
        toggle.syncState();

        NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
        navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
        // ATTENTION: This was auto-generated to implement the App Indexing API.
        // See https://g.co/AppIndexing/AndroidStudio for more information.
        client = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this).addApi(AppIndex.API).build();
    }
    public void checkbalance(){

        String ussd = "*804" + Uri.encode("#");
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // TODO: Consider calling
            //    ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
            // here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
            //   public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
            //                                          int[] grantResults)
            // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
            // for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
            return;
        }
        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + ussd)));

    }

And my xml layout of the textview is as follows

<TextView
        android:layout_width="150dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:drawableTop="@drawable/check"
        android:text="Check Balance"
        android:id="@+id/checkbalance"
        android:layout_row="0"
        android:layout_column="0"
        android:onClick="checkbalance"
        android:textSize="22dp" />

LogCat

but when ever i click on the textview the application crashes. Can anybody help me. Thank You

Answer 1

Use this

public void checkbalance(View v){

instead of this

public void checkbalance(){

because according to convention , the method should have a View parameter which represents your clicked view , which in this case is your TextView

Answer 2

you first have to declare the text view then you set it to clickable, this can be done inside the onCreate method

TextView checkbalanceText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.checkbalance);
checkbalanceText.setClickable(true);

after that your checkbalance(View view) function will work
