I builded a splashscreen which is showen for 5 sec afterwards it goes to my main activity. In this splashscreen I have a boolen which checks if the app is opened up the first time, if yes, it puts some stuff into my database. But exactly at this point I get a NullPointerException.
I don’t get why its not working. In my eyes it should. It also really strange ’cause I tested the code in a demoapp with no errors.
So here is the Code of my SplashScreenActivity.java
package de.retowaelchli.filterit;
import org.apache.http.util.ByteArrayBuffer;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.ContextWrapper;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.content.SharedPreferences.Editor;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import de.retowaelchli.filterit.database.DBAdapter;
import de.retowaelchli.filterit.database.SmileyDBAdapter;
public class SplashScreenActivity extends Activity {
//Variablen definieren
public static final String KEY_APP_IS_INITIALIZED = "APP_INITIALIZED";
public SmileyDBAdapter mDbHelper;
private DBAdapter db;
ImageView iv;
ContextWrapper context;
ByteArrayBuffer baf;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
//Datenbank filling
db = new DBAdapter(this);
db.open();
db.close();
mDbHelper = new SmileyDBAdapter(this);
startupcheck();
//Splash-Screen Animation
Thread splashThread = new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
int waited = 0;
while (waited < 5000) {
sleep(100);
waited += 100;
}
}
catch (InterruptedException e) {
// do nothing
}
finally {
finish();
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("de.retowaelchli.filterit",
"de.retowaelchli.filterit.StartseiteActivity");
startActivity(i);
}
}
};
splashThread.start();
}
//Hier wird getestet ob das App bereits die Datenbankeinträge besitzt
private void startupcheck(){
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(SplashScreenActivity.this);
boolean appIsInitialized = prefs.getBoolean(KEY_APP_IS_INITIALIZED, false);
if (appIsInitialized == false){
//Hier werden die Smiley gefüllt
devil(); <--THIS IS GIVING ME A NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION
//Hier wird eingetragen das die Datenbank gefüllt wurde
Editor editor = prefs.edit();
editor.putBoolean(KEY_APP_IS_INITIALIZED, true);
editor.commit();
}
}
/** Hier sind alle Datenbank Einträge definiert**/
private void devil(){
int drawableID = context.getResources().getIdentifier("devil", "drawable", getPackageName());
iv.setImageResource(drawableID);
String info = String.valueOf(drawableID);
mDbHelper.open();
mDbHelper.createSmiley("You received a satanic message", info);
mDbHelper.close();
}
}
Probably it has something to do that drawable isn’t loaded but I can’t image why its not loaded….
So and here is my LogCat:

Thx for you help in advance!
I dont see anywhere you init your ImageView iv from onCreate().
