java.lang.NullPointerException Cant figure out what is causing the error

Question

I am creating a VERY basic POS system for an assignment for class. I keep getting that dreaded nullpointerexception. I know the error is coming from line 72 in main activity but it is declared in both the main activity and in the xml.

Here is the logcat:

Any help in finding the issue with the btnTotal line in the main activity.java would be so helpful. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

您没有初始化您的total字段，因此它会抛出NPE

Answer 2

You don't have a btnTotal so when you click on it, the value is null .

See:

btnDairy = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnDairy);
    btnSeafood = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSeafood);
    btnWine = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnWine);
    btnMeat = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnMeat);
    btnFruit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnFruit);
    btnVegetable = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnVegetable);
    btnClear = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnClear);
    //add this
    btnTotal = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnTotal);

No button for btnTotal . Add that button and you'll be fine. Simple mistake. Happens all the time. Good luck.
