NPE is happening on DisplayCards.java

listView.setAdapter(dataAdapter);

Able to get the correct count in dataAdapter

any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

在activity_main.xml中没有id为listView1元素，这就是listView为null的原因。

Answer 2

Change

ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);

into

ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);
