setImageResource Crashing Program

Question

My program is crashing whenever I try to run the line:

d1.setImageResource(R.drawable.clubs9);

I cannot figure out why. It seems identical to another program I have that works using a similar line of code. I have tried adding getResources().getDrawable(), but then it will not compile. I am completely stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

public class TCP extends Activity {
    private List<Card> cards;
    private ImageButton deal;
    private ImageButton fold;
    private ImageView d1;
    private ImageView d2;
    private ImageView d3;
    private ImageView p1;
    private ImageView p2;
    private ImageView p3;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.tcp);
        createDeck();
        d1.setImageResource(R.drawable.clubs9);
    }

XML

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/d1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/p1"
    android:layout_alignTop="@+id/d2"
    android:src="@drawable/diamondsq" />

Answer 1

java.lang.NullPointerException because your d1 is null

so use

d1=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.d1);

so your code should be

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.tcp);
        createDeck();
        d1=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.d1);
        d1.setImageResource(R.drawable.clubs9);
    }

Answer 2

Similar problem here.

If you are calling it from onCreate, make sure you are calling setImageResource AFTER setContentView.

onCreate:

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.setContentView(R.layout.myAct);
myBtn = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.myBtn);
myBtn.setImageResource(R.drawable.mypng);
