Question

Here is my code :
This is my handleMessage Function :

 public void handleMessage(Message msg)
                   {
                       if(msg.what==1){
                      ArrayList<pack.Form> o=(ArrayList<pack.Form>)msg.obj;
                      pb.setVisibility(8);try{

                      showList(o);
                      }catch(Exception e)
                      {
                          Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                      }
}

This is my showList function :

public  void showList(ArrayList<Form> v)
       {
           try{ListView listView = (ListView) ListActivity.this.findViewById(R.id.mylist);
            listView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
             String[] values=new String[200];
             int i=0;
            Iterator<Form> it=v.listIterator();
            while(it.hasNext())
            {
                values[i]=((Form)it.next()).body;
            }
            ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(context,
                    R.layout.list_item,values);

                // Assign adapter to ListView
                listView.setAdapter(adapter);}
           catch(Exception e){Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();}
       }

A null ponter exception is being thrown when showList() function is being called. What is the problem?

Answer 1

It was a very silly mistake. I did not increment the i value in the for loop in showList() function. just adding i++ worked. Sorry for wasting your time.
