Question

I have an asynctask of which’s onPostExecute i am calling a function to show a customDialog.

This is my AsyncTask

private class DBTask extends AsyncTask<Long, Boolean, Integer>{ 
ProgressDialog ServerPD = new ProgressDialog(MRRankingActivity.this); 

@Override
protected void onPreExecute() 
{
    ServerPD = ProgressDialog.show (MRRankingActivity.this, "", "Connecting to server...", true, false);
}//End of onPreExecute

@Override
protected Integer doInBackground(Long... params) 
{
    int isSuccess=0;
    publishProgress(isOnline());

        if(isOnline())
        {

        getDBData();
                if(isOK)
                    {
                    isSuccess=1;
                    }
        }   
    }

    return isSuccess;
}

    @Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Boolean... isConnection) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

super.onProgressUpdate(isConnection);
if(isOnline())
        {   
        ServerPD.setMessage("Retreving Data");
        }
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Integer result) {
    if (ServerPD.isShowing())
    {
        ServerPD.dismiss(); 
    }
    if(result==1)
        {
            customDialog();
        }

}//End of onPostExecute

}//End of DBTask

And this is my customDialog function

public void customDialog(){
    Dialog dialog=new Dialog(MRRankingActivity.this);
    dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
    dialog.getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE,R.string.app_name );
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.result_dialog);
    final ListView ResultView = (ListView) findViewById( R.id.ListResult );

    result_Adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(MRRankingActivity.this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,result_Array);

    //Bind Array Adapter to ListView
    ResultView.setAdapter(result_Adapter);
    dialog.show();

}//end of custom dialog function

This is my result_dialog.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">

            <ListView android:id="@+id/ListResult"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>

        </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Now when i run this code i am getting this error

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.NullPointerException

If i comment

 //ResultView.setAdapter(result_Adapter);

in my customDialog function,the customDialog will show,without the Listview. This error is coming when i set the adapter to my ListView.

How to solve this issue??What should be done?? Please help

Answer 1

Replace this line final ListView ResultView = (ListView)dialog.findViewById( R.id.ListResult );

instead of final ListView ResultView = (ListView)findViewById( R.id.ListResult );
