I'm studying Android development. I have a problem in LogCat, it seems like it is unable to start settings activity:

    }

    public void setTimeDisplay(){
        Log.d(CLASS_NAME, "setTimeDisplay");
        counter.setText(timer.display());
    }
}

And here is SettingsActivity class, where keep options for vibrate:

package com.androiddevbook.onyourbike_chapter5.activities;

import com.androiddevbook.onyourbike.chapter5.helpers.Toaster;

import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.CheckBox;

public class SettingsActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    private CheckBox vibrate;
    private String CLASS_NAME = "dada";

    public SettingsActivity(){
        Log.d(CLASS_NAME, "SettingsActivity.class....");
        CLASS_NAME = getClass().getName();
    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) 
    private void setupActionBar() {

        if ( Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB){
            ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
            actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        }

    }

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

        vibrate = (CheckBox)
                findViewById(R.id.vibrate_checkbox);

        Settings settings = ((OnYourBike)getApplication()).getSettings();
        vibrate.setChecked(settings.isVibrateOn(this));

        setupActionBar();
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.settings, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.home) {
            goHome();
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    private void goHome() {
        Log.d(CLASS_NAME, "gotoHome");

        Intent timer =
                new Intent(this, TimerActivity.class);
        timer.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

        startActivity(timer);
    }

    public void onStop(){
        super.onStop();
        Settings settings = ((OnYourBike)getApplication()).getSettings();
        settings.setVibrate(this, vibrate.isChecked());
    }

    public void vibrateChanged(View view){
        Toaster toast = new Toaster(getApplicationContext());

        if(vibrate.isChecked())
            toast.make(R.string.vibrate_on);
        else
            toast.make(R.string.vibrate_off);
    }

    public void goBack(View view){
        finish();
    }
}

And finnaly, spec about my virtual telephone:

CPU/ABI: ARM (armeabi-v7a)

Target: Android 5.0.1 ( API level 21)

Answer 1

在扩展 ActionBarActivity ，您需要使用ActionBar

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();

Answer 2

According to the error log:

05-06 09:40:37.323: E/AndroidRuntime(945): Process: com.androiddevbook.onyourbike_chapter4, PID: 945
05-06 09:40:37.323: E/AndroidRuntime(945): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.androiddevbook.onyourbike_chapter4/com.androiddevbook.onyourbike_chapter5.activities.SettingsActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.app.ActionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(boolean)' on a null object reference

ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); line returns a null object.

Reasons:

• ActionBarActivity subclasses FragmentActivity which is a support component, change code to ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
• You might be using a theme like ...Light.NoActionBar , so this due to this also there is no ActionBar present for activities, change theme to a theme that support ActionBar .

Another thing to note, this isn't the reason of this issue but, is that ActionBarActivity is deprecated, use AppCompatActivity from now on.

Answer 3

Your error log says it all:

05-06 09:40:37.323: E/AndroidRuntime(945): Process: com.androiddevbook.onyourbike_chapter4, PID: 945
05-06 09:40:37.323: E/AndroidRuntime(945): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.androiddevbook.onyourbike_chapter4/com.androiddevbook.onyourbike_chapter5.activities.SettingsActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.app.ActionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(boolean)' on a null object reference

You are calling a method on a null object:

actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

So make sure you do a null check or you might need to use getSupportActionBar

Answer 4

change your setupActionBar method like this:

   @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) 
        private void setupActionBar() {

            if ( Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB){
               ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
                actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
            }

        }
