Question

I have done this many times in different apps but this is my first time on a honeycomb app and for some reason it is not working…

I call

Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), PvP.class); 

    startActivity(myIntent);

When a button is pushed. Here is my manifest:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.aaron.decker.make15"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="11" />

    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name=".MainMenu"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name="PvP" android:label="PvP" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"> </activity>

    </application>
</manifest>

Also, if needed here is the other class (Just the onCreate):

    package com.aaron.decker.make15;

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

    public class PvP extends Activity{
        private int PLAYER_ONE_SCORE;
        private int PLATER_TWO_SCORE;
        private boolean turn;
        //Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_id);
        TextView p1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.p1);
        TextView p2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.p2);

    //If turn is false then it is player one's turn, else if it is true it is player two's turn. FALSE = P1 TRUE = P2

          public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setContentView(R.layout.game);
                turn = false;


            }
}

Any ideas? maybe its something stupid, I don’t know. Cant seem to figure it out.

Answer 1

TextView p1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.p1);
TextView p2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.p2);

Those must be called in onCreate(), after the layout has been set.
