RecyclerView：尝试在 null object 引用上调用虚拟方法“void android.widget.TextView.setText(java.lang.CharSequence)”

Question

I am new Android Developer and facing problem because of app is crashing at runtime. Please check the code below.

**MyAdapter.java**

I am new to Recycler view in android and I am working on styling the text so I have done like that below is my adapter class.

    public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.ViewHolder>{

        //variables
        private List<Model> modelList;
        private Context context;

        //constructor
        public MyAdapter(List<Model> modelList, Context context) {
            this.modelList = modelList;
            this.context = context;
        }

        @NonNull
        @Override
        public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
            //this method will call whenever our view holder is created
            // inflate the row.xml
            View view  = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.activity_main, parent,  false);
            if(view == null){
                Log.i(view.toString(), "View is null");
            }else{
                Log.i(view.toString(), "View is not null");
            }
            return new ViewHolder(view);
        }

        @Override
        public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull ViewHolder holder, int position) {
            // this method will bind the data to viewHolder from when it will be shown to other view
            Model model = modelList.get(position);
            if(holder.team1Tv == null){
                Log.i("model.getTeam1() -->",model.getTeam1());
            }else{
                Log.i("model.getTeam2() -->",model.getTeam1());
            }
            holder.team1Tv.setText(model.getTeam1());
            holder.team2Tv.setText(model.getTeam2());
            holder.matchTypeTv.setText(model.getMatchType());
            holder.matchStatusTv.setText(model.getMatchStatus());
            holder.dateTv.setText(model.getDate());

            //handle item clicks
            holder.cardView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    //will do later
                }
            });
        }

        @Override
        public int getItemCount() {
            return modelList.size();
        }

        public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{

            //define view objects
            TextView team1Tv, team2Tv, matchTypeTv, matchStatusTv, dateTv;
            CardView cardView;
            public ViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
                super(itemView);
                // intialize the view objects
                team1Tv = itemView.findViewById(R.id.team1TV);
                team2Tv = itemView.findViewById(R.id.team2TV);
                matchTypeTv = itemView.findViewById(R.id.matchTypeTV);
                matchStatusTv = itemView.findViewById(R.id.matchStatusTV);
                dateTv = itemView.findViewById(R.id.dateTV);
                cardView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.cardView);
            }
        }}

Exception is coming from onBindViewHolder(): team1Tv = itemView.findViewById(R.id.team1TV);

This is custom xml created to show list of tiles.

Its crashing while loading So anybody guess what went wrong. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You specify incorrect layout for the RecyclerView items in onCreateViewHolder method.

So, replace view inflation with:

 View view  = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.row, parent,  false);

(use R.layout.row and not R.layout.activity_main )
