Question

I want to make my own keyboard.

I have the following code

When I ran the code, it throws NullPointerException.

---

My RKeyboardView that extends KeyboardView

package com.glenn.droid; // MY package

import android.content.Context;
import android.inputmethodservice.KeyboardView;
import android.util.AttributeSet;

public class RKeyboardView extends KeyboardView {

    public RKeyboardView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }
}

My main activity

MobileActivity.java

public class MobileActivity extends ListActivity  {

    private RKeyboardView r;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        r = (RKeyboardView) findViewById(R.id.rKeyboardView1);
        r.setKeyboard(new Keyboard(this,R.xml.qwerty));

        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

What should I do? Please help me.

Move the line

 setContentView(R.layout.main);

to directly after

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

The findViewById() method searches the tree of Views (the View hierarchy) in your activity for one with the specified id, and returns that View object. If you have not called setContentView before you call findViewById(), then the particular View object has neither been created nor added to the View hierarchy.
