I cannot change the text in textview

Question

I can print the values of variables (latitude, longitude, imageloc) using System.out.println() in DataOutputActivity.java, but when I try to set the text of textview with one of the above variable, the app shutdown. I have also declared the id for the textview in layout file. I cannot figure out what is wrong. There is no syntax error, only runtime error. If I remove the last two line of the onCreate() method, then there is no issue.

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_data_ouput);

        if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                    .add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
        }
        Intent intent = getIntent();
        String latitude = intent.getStringExtra(HomeActivity.EXTRA_LATITUDE);
        String longitude = intent.getStringExtra(HomeActivity.EXTRA_LONGITUDE);
        String imageLoc = intent.getStringExtra(HomeActivity.EXTRA_IMAGELOC);
        TextView textview = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.outputText);
        textview.setText(latitude);
        setContentView(textview);
    }

fragment_data_output.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context="com.example.urbsalus.DataOuputActivity$PlaceholderFragment" >

    <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/outputText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/Latitude"
        />

</RelativeLayout>

Strings.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <string name="title_activity_data_ouput">DataOuputActivity</string>
    <string name="Latitude">Latitude</string>

Answer 1

Firstly, remove this line, it is incorrect.

setContentView(textview);

Secondly in this line

String latitude = intent.getStringExtra(HomeActivity.EXTRA_LATITUDE);

you are trying to get a string form the Extras in the Intent (you are not reading from your Resources file). If the value in HomeActivity.EXTRA_LATITUDE doesn't exists, the string will be returned as null, hence your null pointer error.

you could check against this by doing something like

if (latitude != null) {
    textview.setText(latitude);
}

Answer 2

If the line 30 in onCreate is textView.settext(""); you must change the

setContenView(R.layout.activity_data_output);

to

setContentView(R.layout.fragment_data_output);

and do not call setContentView after the settext twice!!

Answer 3

That's because the TextView is in the Fragment. You're mixing the content view of the Activity with the displayed Fragment, and most likely the only thing created by setContentView(R.layout.activity_data_ouput) is a container for the PlaceholderFragment.

You should use the template for fragments specified in the following question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24840509/why-does-the-new-adt-create-a-static-inner-class-fragment-by-default-simple-fr

你在LogCat中看到Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException ，检查你没有new或没有引用对象的位置
