java.lang.NullPointerException: storage == null

Question

The previous bug was "Your content must have a listview whose id attribute is "Android.R.id.list" And I did some googling and then it turned out to be this

These are the code in CustomListActivity.

public CustomListAdapter(Activity context, String[] time, String[] condition, String[] temp, String[] humidity, String[] url)
{
    super(context, R.layout.listview, time);
    this.context = context;
    this.time = time;
    this.condition = condition;
    this.temp = temp;
    this.humidity = humidity;
    this.url = url;
}

This is the code in mainActivity

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    MyBgTask asyncTask = new MyBgTask();

    CustomListAdapter adapter = new CustomListAdapter(this, asyncTask.getTimeArray(), asyncTask.getConditionArray(),
                                asyncTask.getTempArray(), asyncTask.getHumidityArray(), asyncTask.getUrls());
    setListAdapter(adapter);

    asyncTask.execute();
}

And this is activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".main">

<ListView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:clickable="false"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true" >


</ListView>

And this is listview.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/icon"
    android:layout_width="60dp"
    android:layout_height="60dp"
    android:padding="5dp"
    android:contentDescription="nothing" />

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/dateTime"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:padding="2dp"
        android:textColor="#33CC33"
        android:text="@string/dateTime" />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/condition"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/condition"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/temp"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/temp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/humidity"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/humidity"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" />
</LinearLayout>

Answer 1

I think you want to get adapter data from the asyncTask,but, when you setListAdapter, asyncTask has not started. so it will be null.

do setListAdapter in MyBgTask.onPostExecute() method will help;

Answer 2

There are couple of things need to be considered:

1. Because you use setListAdapter(adapter) so I suppose that your activity extended [ListActivity][1] . However, if you use ListActivity then you donot need to use the method setContentView(..) .
2. Your code for creating adapter is not complete or not really correct. What you pasted here is just constructor . Normally you need to extend something like ArrayAdapter ... and then override the getView method. Here is detail instruction.
