Question

I need to display images from res/drawable folder and put it in a imageview. I’ve done some research and implemented them. It only displays blank screen but no image.

My xml code:

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

Java code:

 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    if (extras != null) {   
        String value = extras.getString("FaType");

        if(value.equals("AnimalBite"))
        {
            LinearLayout mainLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.mainlayout);

            ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
            imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.medrem);
            LayoutParams imageViewLayoutParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
            imageView.setLayoutParams(imageViewLayoutParams);

            mainLayout.addView(imageView);

        }
}

Any ideas? I also need to know the problem of this code. Because whenever I try to addimages on my drawable folder and use it at this

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.medrem)

It doesn’t seem to recognize the image. Help please?

Answer 1

You have no setcontentview ?

That means that your MainLayout havn’t been inflated, which results in the nullpointer exception thrown in your logfile.

Either inflate it manually or setContentView(R.layout.xxxx);
