Question

I am trying to set some sharedpreferences for a user who has:

• name
• age
• gender
• weight
• height
• level of activity

I have implemented this code but it gives me a NullPointerException, what is the error here?

  package com.nutriapp;

  import android.app.Activity;
  import android.content.SharedPreferences;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.view.View;
  import android.widget.Button;
  import android.widget.EditText;
  import android.widget.RadioButton;
  import android.widget.RadioGroup;

public class ProfilePreferenceActivity extends Activity {

RadioButton rb_male;
RadioButton rb_female;
RadioButton rb_light;
RadioButton rb_moderate;
RadioButton rb_heavy;
EditText name;
EditText age, weight, height;
RadioGroup genderradiogroup;
RadioGroup levelofactivity;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.createprofile);
    SharedPreferences customSharedPreference = getSharedPreferences(
            "myCustomSharedPrefs", Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);

    name = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.namefield);
    name.setText(customSharedPreference.getString("namepref", ""));

    age = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.agefield);
//  int Age = Integer.parseInt(age.getText().toString());
    age.setText(customSharedPreference.getString("agepref", ""));

    genderradiogroup = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.radioGroup2);
    rb_male = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.maleradiobutton);
    rb_female = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.femaleradiobutton);
    genderradiogroup.check(customSharedPreference.getInt("genderprefs",
            rb_male.getId()));

    weight = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.weightfield);
    //int Weight = Integer.parseInt(weight.getText().toString());
    weight.setText(customSharedPreference.getString("weightpref", ""));

    height = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.heightfield);
    //int Height = Integer.parseInt(height.getText().toString());
    weight.setText(customSharedPreference.getString("heightpref", ""));

    RadioGroup levelofactivity = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.radioGroup2);
    rb_light = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.lightradiobutton);
    rb_moderate = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.moderateradiobutton);
    rb_heavy=(RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.heavyradiobutton);
    levelofactivity.check(customSharedPreference.getInt("levelpref", rb_light.getId()));


    Button addUser = (Button) findViewById(R.id.checkcreateprofilebutton);



    addUser.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {

            savePreferences();
            finish();

        }
    });

}

private void savePreferences(){

    SharedPreferences customSharedPreference = getSharedPreferences("myCustomSharedPrefs", Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = customSharedPreference.edit();
    editor.putString("namepref", name.getText().toString());
    editor.putString("agepref", age.getText().toString());
    editor.putInt("genderprefs", genderradiogroup.getCheckedRadioButtonId());
    editor.putString("heightpref", height.getText().toString());
    editor.putString("weightpref", weight.getText().toString());
    editor.putInt("levelpref", levelofactivity.getCheckedRadioButtonId());
    editor.commit(); 
  }   
}

here is the log :

Answer 1

You are not doing setText to height in onCreate.. Be careful with copy pasting..

You are redeclaring the levelofactivity variable inside the onCreate method. It should be a member..
