Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.widget.Spinner.setAdapter(android.widget.SpinnerAdapter)' on a null object reference

Answer 1

You have to first create the view then call the methods.

Secondly, the spinner should be created under the onCreate() .

Answer 2

某些东西是空的，导致这次崩溃。我猜你的 itemCat 是空的，你没有创建它。
