Question

Hello when I try to set the current progress of a seekbar that is a preference, based on the ringer volumes current level in onResume I get the following:

Here is the SeekBarPreference Class:

import com.camelCaseD.nsettings.R;

import android.preference.Preference;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;

import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.SeekBar;

import android.widget.TextView;

public class SeekBarPreference extends Preference implements OnSeekBarChangeListener {

    private final String TAG = getClass().getName();

    private static final int DEFAULT_VALUE = 50;

    private int mMinValue      = 0;
    private int mCurrentValue;
    private SeekBar mSeekBar;

        super(context, attrs);

        mStream = stream;
    }

    public SeekBarPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle, int stream) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);

        mStream = stream;
    }

    @Override
    protected View onCreateView(ViewGroup parent){

        TableLayout layout =  null;

        try {
            LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

            layout = (TableLayout)mInflater.inflate(R.layout.seek_bar_preference, parent, false);

        catch(Exception e)

            Log.e(TAG, "Error creating seek bar preference", e);
        }

        return layout;

    }

    private void initBar(SeekBar bar, final int stream, View view) {
        mgr=(AudioManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);

        bar.setMax(mgr.getStreamMaxVolume(stream));
        bar.setProgress(mgr.getStreamVolume(stream));

        TextView mTitle = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.title);

            mSummary.setText("Slide to adjust ringer volume.");
            break;

        case AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC:
            mTitle.setText("Media Volume");
            mSummary.setText("Slide to adjust media volume.");
            break;
        }

        bar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
          public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar bar, int progress,
                                        boolean fromUser) {
            mgr.setStreamVolume(stream, progress,
                                AudioManager.FLAG_PLAY_SOUND);
          }

          public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar bar) {
            // no-op
          }

          public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar bar) {
            // no-op
          }
        });
      }

    @Override
    public void onBindView(View view) {
        super.onBindView(view);
        try
        {
            mView = view;
            mSeekBar = (SeekBar) view.findViewById(R.id.seek_bar);
            initBar(mSeekBar, mStream, view);
        }
        catch(Exception ex) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Error binding view: " + ex.toString());
        }

        updateView(view);
    }

    /**
     * Update a SeekBarPreference view with our current state
     * @param view

    protected void updateView(View view) {

        try {
            TableLayout layout = (TableLayout)view;

            mSeekBar.setProgress(mCurrentValue - mMinValue);
        }
        catch(Exception e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Error updating seek bar preference", e);
        }

    }

    @Override 
    protected Object onGetDefaultValue(TypedArray ta, int index){

        int defaultValue = ta.getInt(index, DEFAULT_VALUE);
        return defaultValue;

    }

    @Override
    protected void onSetInitialValue(boolean restoreValue, Object defaultValue) {

    }

    public void setProgressC(int stream) {
        mgr=(AudioManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
        switch(stream) {
        case AudioManager.STREAM_RING:
            SeekBar bar = (SeekBar)mView.findViewById(R.id.seek_bar);
            bar.setProgress(mgr.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING));
            break;
        }
    }

}

The view class extends Preference and the layout of the view is shown below:

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.commonsware.android.syssvc.volume"
  android:stretchColumns="1"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:paddingLeft="20px"
  android:paddingRight="10px"
>
  <TableRow android:paddingTop="10px" 
            android:paddingBottom="2px" >
            <TextView android:id="@android:id/title" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="22dp"
            android:typeface="sans"
            android:textStyle="normal"
            android:textColor="#ffffff" />
  </TableRow>
  <TableRow android:paddingTop="2px" 
            android:paddingBottom="2px" >
  <TextView android:id="@android:id/summary" 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
  </TableRow>
  <TableRow
    android:paddingBottom="20px">
    <SeekBar
      android:id="@+id/seek_bar"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    />
   </TableRow>  
</TableLayout>

Then inside my PreferenceActivity class:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    PreferenceCategory mAudCat = (PreferenceCategory) findPreference("audCat");

    SeekBarPreference mRingerVol = new SeekBarPreference(this, null, AudioManager.STREAM_RING);
    mRingerVol.setKey("ringerVol");

    mAudCat.addPreference(mRingerVol);
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    SeekBarPreference mRingerVol = (SeekBarPreference) findPreference("ringerVol");
    mRingerVol.setProgressC(AudioManager.STREAM_RING);
}

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

How I have figured the source of the error.

In setProgressC the variable mView is null after I outputted the value of this variable in onBindView and setProgressC itself into LogCat.
