Android: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

Question

I am new to android development. I am creating a app which shows list of addresses in a list view. It has two activities. DashboardGridActivity is a Main activity(This activity shows icons in GridView). Second is DisplayActivity(This activity reads data from XML and displays in a list view)called in onItemClick function of DashboardGridActivity. Following is my DisplayActivity.java file:

public class DisplayActivity extends Activity {

ListView listView;
private String tag_name; 
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_display);

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

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    if(intent!= null)
    {
        //int imageId = intent.getIntExtra("DashboardImage",R.drawable.apartments);
        tag_name = intent.getStringExtra("DashItemName");
    }

    List<NameAddress> nameAddressList = null;
    try {
        XMLPullParserHandler parser = new XMLPullParserHandler(tag_name);
        nameAddressList = parser.parse(getAssets().open("data.xml"));
        ArrayAdapter<NameAddress> adapter =
            new ArrayAdapter<NameAddress>(this,R.layout.list_item, nameAddressList);
        listView.setAdapter(adapter);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.display, menu);
    return true;
  }
}

onItemClick functionn from DashboardGridActivity.java file

@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayActivity.class);
    ViewHolder holder= (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
    DashboardItems temp = (DashboardItems) holder.myItem.getTag();
    //intent.putExtra("DashboardImage",temp.imageID);
    intent.putExtra("DashItemName",temp.itemName);
    startActivity(intent);
}

When I am trying to run this app, it shows Icons in GridView, but when I click on icon it says "Unfortunately app has stopped". It also gives following LogCat

LogCat:

Please suggest me a way to resolve this problem.

Answer 1

Use this code for your onItemClickListener

@Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayActivity.class);

        DashboardItems temp = (DashboardItems) adapterView.getItemAtPosition(i);
        //intent.putExtra("DashboardImage",temp.imageID);
        intent.putExtra("DashItemName",temp.itemName);
        startActivity(intent);
    }
