Question

I am having trouble with developing my Android application, I am currently using Eclipse and a Phidget RFID. My aim is to display the ID of the RFID in a piece of text on the Android device.

I have managed to display the ID through a println in the following pieces of code.

   package myFood.myFood;

import com.phidgets.*;
import com.phidgets.event.*;
public class RFID {
static String x ="NULL";
public static final Object main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    RFIDPhidget rfid;
    rfid = new RFIDPhidget();
    rfid.openAny();

    //Begin the TagGained event, allowing for users to read the RFID values
    rfid.addTagGainListener(new TagGainListener()
    {
        public void tagGained(TagGainEvent oe)
        {
            Object y = (oe.getValue());
            x= y.toString();
        }
    });

    long StartTime,RunTime;
    StartTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
    do{
        RunTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
        if (x.equals("NULL")) {
            //Continue waiting for input
            }
        else
        StartTime = 10000; //Overload the result so the loop ends
    }
    while (RunTime-StartTime<5000);

    rfid.close();
    return x;
}

}

and then.

package myFood.myFood;

public class RFIDresult {

public static final Object main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    System.out.println("Results");
Object x = RFID.main(args);
System.out.println(x);
return x;
}
}

However I want the ID to be displayed in a piece of text so I tried to develop the second piece of code into Android.

package myFood.myFood;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class AddFood  extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.addfood);



    Button mybutton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button1);
    mybutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View view) {

            String[] args = null;
            Object x = null;
            try {
                x = RFID.main(args);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

    TextView mytext=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.widget96);
    mytext.setText((CharSequence) x);


    }


    });
}

}

And this just generates a force close. I am a bit of a novice at this and will appreciate all the advice I get.

You need to get myText from ‘view’ parameter. Try this:

TextView mytext=(TextView)**view**.findViewById(R.id.widget96);
