为什么我不能在这里开始一个新的活动？

Question

I am trying to start a ListActivity from my MainActivity, I have it declared in the manifest but its giving me a NullPointerException on SignedUp

public void logn(View v) {
        Boolean[] result = {false};
        LogIn log = (LogIn) new LogIn().execute(result);

        if (result[0].equals(true)){
            Intent intent = new Intent(this, SignedIn.class);

            startActivity(intent);
            finish();
        }

    }

Answer 1

You appear to be calling findViewById() inside the constructor of an Activity called SignedIn. You should call this method later (such as in onCreate() ) and only after calling setContentView() .

Answer 2

Try this..

You have to initialize your ImageView and TextView inside onCreate after setContentView like below.

public class SignedIn extends ListActivity {
public int userId;
public List<RowItem> data = new ArrayList<RowItem>();
ImageView myPic;
TextView myName;
String name;
Bitmap profpic;
String thePicture;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.owners_info_layout);
    myPic = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
    myName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
    Bundle bnd = getIntent().getExtras();
    userId = bnd.getInt("userid");
    name = bnd.getString("name");
    thePicture = bnd.getString("mypic");
    byte[] encodeByte = Base64.decode(thePicture,
            Base64.DEFAULT);
    profpic = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(encodeByte, 0,
            encodeByte.length);
    myPic.setImageBitmap(profpic);
    myName.setText(name);
}

EDIT

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        if (result.equals(success)){

            ListView listview = getListView();
            CustomAdapter adapt = new CustomAdapter(SignedIn.this, R.layout.toplayout, data);
            listview.setAdapter(adapt);
        }
        else {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You have no posts yet!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }

IN XML

<ListView android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

Answer 3

findViewById looks for a view with the id in the current view hierarchy. You need to set the layout to the Activity first and then initialize views.

You need to move this

ImageView myPic = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
TextView myName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);

inside onCreate after setContentView .

 ImageView myPic;
 TextView myName ;
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    Bundle bnd = getIntent().getExtras();
    userId = bnd.getInt("userid");
    name = bnd.getString("name");
    thePicture = bnd.getString("mypic");
    byte[] encodeByte = Base64.decode(thePicture,
            Base64.DEFAULT);
    profpic = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(encodeByte, 0,
            encodeByte.length);

    setContentView(R.layout.owners_info_layout);
    ImageView myPic = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
    TextView myName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
    myPic.setImageBitmap(profpic);
    myName.setText(name);
