I’m very new in android and I’m developing an application that passes data from android to MySQL through PHP. I’m in registering users part now. I got some codes from searching but while i’m implementing it, I’m getting run-time errors. This is my code. The logcat is also at the bottom.
public class RegisterActivity extends Activity {
// Progress Dialog
private ProgressDialog pDialog;
JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();
EditText registerName;
EditText registerRollno;
EditText inputDesc;
// url to create new product
private static String url_create_voter = "http://10.0.2.2/evoting/create_voter.php";
// JSON Node names
private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.register1);
// Edit Text
EditText registerName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.registerName);
EditText registerRollno = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.registerRollno);
// inputDesc = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.inputDesc);
// Create button
Button btnSubmit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSubmit);
// button click event
btnSubmit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
// creating new product in background thread
new CreateNewVoter().execute();
}
});
}
/**
* Background Async Task to Create new product
* */
class CreateNewVoter extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
/**
* Before starting background thread Show Progress Dialog
* */
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(RegisterActivity.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Creating Voter..");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setCancelable(true);
pDialog.show();
}
/**
* Creating product
* */
protected String doInBackground(String... args) {
String name = registerName.getText().toString();
String rollno = registerRollno.getText().toString();
//String description = inputDesc.getText().toString();
// Building Parameters
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("name", name));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("rollno", rollno));
// params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("description", description));
// getting JSON Object
// Note that create product url accepts POST method
JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(url_create_voter,
"POST", params);
// check log cat fro response
Log.d("Create Response", json.toString());
// check for success tag
try {
int success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
if (success == 1) {
// successfully created product
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), CreateVoterSuccess.class);
startActivity(i);
// closing this screen
finish();
} else {
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), CreateVoterFail.class);
startActivity(i);
// failed to create product
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
/**

protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
// dismiss the dialog once done
pDialog.dismiss();
}
}
}
This is the logcat:

Local variables shadow object variables:
Creating local variables with the same name as object variables is not an error by default, but it looks like a mistake here.
This way the object variables will still be
null, hence the NPE.
