Android - Java null pointer exception
Question
I'm trying to get data from online database, and show it as an item in Alert Dialog Builder,,
And I've successfully showed my data in alert dialog, and now I want to stored the value of selected items to a variable and shows it on the TextView outside the alertdialog (my current activity)..
But guess there is something wrong with my code, it keeps getting an error of java.lang.nullpointerexception whenever I press the "OK" button inside the alert dialog
This is my code :
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.bBrowseSelectGroup:
new AttemptViewMyGroup().execute();
Log.d("flag", "bottom of browse select Group");
break;
}
public void viewGroup() {
int success;
try {
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Username", Username));
Log.d("Request!", "Starting");
JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(url, "POST", params);
success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
if (success == 1) {
Log.d("Success", "Getting array");
mGroupList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
mGroups = json.getJSONArray(TAG_GROUPS);
try {
for (int i = 0; i < mGroups.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = mGroups.getJSONObject(i);
String newGroupId = c.getString(TAG_GROUPID);
String newGroupName = c.getString(TAG_GROUPNAME);
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put(TAG_GROUPID, newGroupId);
map.put(TAG_GROUPNAME, newGroupName);
mGroupList.add(map);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
class AttemptViewMyGroup extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Boolean> {
@Override

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

pd = new ProgressDialog(CreateAnnouncementActivity.this);
pd.setMessage("Loadng...");
pd.setIndeterminate(false);

Log.d("flag", "end of post Execute");
}
}
public void alertDialogBuilder() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d("Flag", "arrive at alertdialogBuilder");
final String[] listGroupName = new String[mGroupList.size()];
final String[] listGroupId = new String[mGroupList.size()];

for (int i = 0; i < mGroupList.size(); i++) {

}

}
String string = "";

}
PostTo.setText(string);
}
});
builder.setMultiChoiceItems(listGroupName, new boolean[] { false,
false, false },

@Override

This much shorter program demonstrates the same problem, without as many irrelevant details:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Boolean[] array = new Boolean[10];
if(array[0]) // <--- NullPointerException HERE
System.out.println("true");
else
System.out.println("false");
}
}
Because array[0] is a Boolean reference (not the primitive type boolean ), if(array[0]) invokes auto-unboxing (to convert the Boolean to a boolean ) and is translated to if(array[0].booleanValue()) .
Elements of reference arrays are initialized to null automatically, so array[0] is null at this point.
Then array[0].booleanValue() throws a NullPointerException, as you are invoking a method on a null reference.
You might have meant to create a boolean primitive array instead of a Boolean reference array. Elements of a boolean array are initialized to false .

Change this:
final Boolean[] itemsChecked = new Boolean[mGroupList.size()];
to
final boolean[] itemsChecked = new boolean[mGroupList.size()];
The problem with your code is that you make an array of Boolean objects, which will be nulls initially. If you change it to primitive boolean it will be okay. You will get an array of booleans initialized to false .

Size of itemsChecked variable is declared in this line
final Boolean[] itemsChecked = new Boolean[mGroupList.size()];
If listGroupName.length is greater than mGroupList.size() , it will create an exception. Check both the values and modify accordingly.

Initialize your itemsChecked array first then use it.
for(int i=0;i<itemsChecked.lenth;i++)
itemsChecked[i]=false;
Make index true when your condition matches.
