尝试在空对象引用上调用虚拟方法“java.lang.Object android.content.Context.getSystemService(java.lang.String)”

Question

I am trying to check if my application is launched for the first time. If yes, the user is asked for an input. Then, check if Wi-Fi is connected. If Wi-Fi is connected, I use the input provides by the user to load a WebView.

But, the app crashes on launch with an error

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.Object android.content.Context.getSystemService(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

Answer 1

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(getBaseContext());

First, you do not need getBaseContext() , nor do you need LayoutInflater.from() . Use getLayoutInflater() .

Second, you cannot call methods on the Activity superclass until after super.onCreate() , except in certain situations. Please postpone your initialization of promptsView until after super.onCreate() has been called.

Answer 2

View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_name, container, false);
view.getContext();

Use view.getContext() wherever you need Application Context in fragments.
