Question

Here s my getView() method. I am getting null pointer exception while inflating. There are so many answers for the same questions. This is used inside a fragment. But that doesn’t suit me.

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    Context con = null;
    View vi=convertView;
    if(convertView==null){
            LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)con.getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.stores_listview_layout, null);
     }

     TextView tv = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.store_name);
     tv.setText(storeData.get(position).get("merchantName"));

    return vi;
}

What is the mistake I am doing here?

Update: This works!

         View vi=convertView;
         Context c = null;
         if(convertView==null){
         LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater(null);
         vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.stores_listview_layout, parent, false);
        }

Answer 1

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater(null);
vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.stores_listview_layout, parent, false);
