I'm befuddled by a very tiny problem in my Android code. All the getters and setters I created in a custom class (ie 'ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT') give me the following 'Java NullPointerException':

Here is the custom class ('ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT') where the getters & setters are implemented:
public class ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT extends RelativeLayout {
LayoutInflater stanInflater;
private static TextView singleRoomsNumberTV, singleRoomsDescTV, vipRoomsNumberTV, vipRoomsDescTV;
public ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT(Context context) {
super(context);
stanInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
initializeAndLayoutChildren();
}
public ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
stanInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
initializeAndLayoutChildren();
}
public ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
stanInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
initializeAndLayoutChildren();
}
private void initializeAndLayoutChildren() {
stanInflater.inflate(R.layout.cust_rlyt_results_room_info, this, true);
singleRoomsNumberTV = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.stan_Single_Rooms_Number_TV);
singleRoomsDescTV = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.stan_Single_Rooms_Description_TV);
vipRoomsNumberTV = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.stan_VIP_Rooms_Number_TV);
vipRoomsDescTV = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.stan_VIP_Rooms_Description_TV);
}
public static String getSingleRoomsNumberTextValue() {
return singleRoomsNumberTV.getText().toString();
}
public static void setSingleRoomsNumberTextValue(String singleRoomsNumberText) {
singleRoomsNumberTV.setText(singleRoomsNumberText);
}
public static void setVipRoomsNumberTextValue (String vipRoomsNumberText) {
vipRoomsNumberTV.setText(vipRoomsNumberText);
}
public static String getVipRoomsDescTextValue () {
return vipRoomsDescTV.getText().toString();
}
public static void setVipRoomsDescTextValue (String vipRoomsDescText) {
vipRoomsDescTV.setText(vipRoomsDescText);
} }
...as you can see I love using static getters and setters as it gives me easy access to the required views with a single line of code. The really odd thing about this error I am getting at runtime is that I have two other classes like this one that use exactly the same setup - and those classes work fine (update the data as required). However, when this class's setters are called with the following calls they all fail to execute:
ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT.setSingleRoomsNumberTextValue(singleRoomsNumberInfo);
ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT.setSingleRoomsDescTextValue(singleRoomsDescInfo);
ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT.setVipRoomsNumberTextValue(vipRoomsNumberInfo);
ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT.setVipRoomsDescTextValue(vipRoomsDescInfo);
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks. Shore-T.
Well the problem is that you are trying to set the texts of some null
text views. For example, the following line:
ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT.setSingleRoomsNumberTextValue(singleRoomsNumberInfo);
tries to do the following:
singleRoomsNumberTV.setText(singleRoomsNumberText);
But what is singleRoomsNumberTV? Where is it assigned? You need to call:
new ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT(this);
from your activity to initialize the static TextViews.
Your static getters and setters access static references that get initialized by a non-static method - initializeAndLayoutChildren
. When you initialize a static variable in a non-static method, you run the risk of accessing the static variable before it is initialized. You also run the risk of initializing the static variables multiple times - each time a new instance is created.
For example, the static method setSingleRoomsNumberTextValue
accesses the static variable singleRoomsNumberTV
which gets initialized by the instance method initializeAndLayoutChildren
called by the constructor of ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT
. If you call that static method before creating any instance of ResultsRoomInfoCustRLYT
, you'll get NullPointerException
.
