Question

I have this code for an event handler:

rbM.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {

            public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
                    boolean isChecked) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if (isChecked) {
                    try {
                        Double.parseDouble(etAmm.getText().toString());
                        if (etPerc.getText().toString() != null
                                && etPerc.getText().toString() != "") {
                            etRis.setText(new Double(
                                    Double.parseDouble(etAmm.getText()
                                            .toString()) - percentuale())
                                    .toString());
                            etPercTot.setText(new Double(percentuale())
                                    .toString() + "%");
                        }
                        et30.setText(new Double(Double.parseDouble(etAmm
                                .getText().toString()) - percentuale(30))
                                .toString());
                        etPerc30.setText(new Double(percentuale(30))
                                .toString() + "%");
                        et50.setText(new Double(Double.parseDouble(etAmm
                                .getText().toString()) - percentuale(50))
                                .toString());
                        etPerc50.setText(new Double(percentuale(50))
                                .toString() + "%");
                        et70.setText(new Double(Double.parseDouble(etAmm
                                .getText().toString()) - percentuale(70))
                                .toString());
                        etPerc70.setText(new Double(percentuale(70))
                                .toString() + "%");
                    } catch (Exception ex) {
                    }
                }
            }

        });

I have it in the onCreate method, but when I start the application it crushes. Why??? Eclipse doesn’t give me any error and if I put a try catch block that tries everything in that method I get null as exception. My layout is correct because if I launch the application without any java code edited by me, it loads on the screen perfectly. Help me please!!!!!

p.s.
I have other event handlers but this is the shortest and I don’t think it might change from handler to handler, it’s always just a declaration.

Here’s the logcat as someone asked:

Answer 1

From what you say about line 62 it sounds like etAmm is null. Either you didn’t initialize it or FindViewById() couldn’t find it in your layout.
