I am trying to inflate more than one progress bar in a layout.Please tell me if there is any thing wrong with layouts. I have a xml code battery.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="#FFFFFF">

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"

        android:orientation="vertical" 
        android:id="@+id/batteryholder">

        <TextView android:text="Test ID: 137" android:gravity="left"
            android:id="@+id/test_id" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="14dip"
            android:paddingLeft="30dip" android:paddingTop="10dip"
            android:textColor="#000000" />

        <HorizontalScrollView
            android:id="@+id/scroll_battery"
            android:layout_width="420dip"
            android:layout_height="200dip"
            android:layout_marginTop="0dip" >

and another file batterylayout.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AbsoluteLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/empty_battery" />

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/vertical_progressbar"
        style="@style/Widget.ProgressBar.Vertical"
        android:layout_width="88dp"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:layout_x="2dp"
        android:layout_y="23dp" />

</AbsoluteLayout>


<AbsoluteLayout
    android:id="@+id/scrolllinearlayout"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

        </AbsoluteLayout>

        </HorizontalScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

You get NPE because you try to access batteryHolder field which hasn't yet been initialized. You need to inflate your battery.xml first:

LinearLayout oneMoreBatteryLayout = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.battery, null, false);

And after that access your batteryholder child:

batteryHolder = (LinearLayout)oneMoreBatteryLayout.findViewById(R.id.batteryholder);

By the way, why do you need such a complicated structure? Try to simplify it.
