Question

I’m trying out to save the text size in shared preference ,while running the project my application stops unexpectedly here is the code :
SharedPreferenceActivity.class

package com.SharedPreference;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.SeekBar;

public class SharedPreferenceActivity extends Activity 

{

SeekBar seek=(SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.seekBar1);
EditText ed1=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
Button b=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
private final String TEXT_VALUE_KEY="textvalue";
private final String FONT_SIZE_KEY="fontsize";
final String MyPref="preference";

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
 {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);  
b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

 @Override
 public void onClick(View arg0) {

SharedPreferences  pref=getSharedPreferences(MyPref,MODE_PRIVATE);              
SharedPreferences.Editor editor=pref.edit();            
editor.putFloat(FONT_SIZE_KEY,ed1.getTextSize());           
editor.putString(TEXT_VALUE_KEY, ed1.getText().toString());         
editor.commit();

}

});

 SharedPreferences prefs=getSharedPreferences(MyPref, MODE_PRIVATE);

 final float fontsize=prefs.getFloat(FONT_SIZE_KEY, 12);

 seek.setProgress((int) fontsize);

 ed1.setText(prefs.getString(TEXT_VALUE_KEY, "")); 

 ed1.setTextSize(seek.getProgress());

 seek.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new  SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {


public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar arg0) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

            public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

            public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar arg0, int arg1, boolean arg2) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                ed1.setTextSize(fontsize);
            }
        });
    }
}

Answer 1

find the views in your onCreate method.

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

 setContentView(R.layout.main);
 seek=(SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.seekBar1);
 ed1=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
 b=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
 ...
 ...
}
