Question

so this is the problem i am having: whenever the publishProgress(sentCount); is called in the app crashes. I have looked around and still do not know the cause of this. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

class MySmsTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, Integer> {

    protected ProgressBar onPreExecute(String...messageData) {
        final ProgressBar progress = progressSend;
        int msgCount = Integer.parseInt(messageData[2]);
        progress.setMax(msgCount);
        progress.setProgress(0);
        return progress;
    }   
    @Override
    protected Integer doInBackground(String... messageData) {
        int sentCount = 0;
        int size = 1;
        int delay = Integer.parseInt(messageData[3]);
        int delayf = delay + 2;
        int msgCount = Integer.parseInt(messageData[2]);
        String message = messageData[1];
        String phoneNo = messageData[0];
        if (phoneNo.length()>0 && message.length()>0){
            for (sentCount = 0; sentCount < msgCount; sentCount++) {
                for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
                    sendSMS(messageData[0], messageData[1]);

                    try {
                        publishProgress(sentCount);
                        Thread.sleep(delayf * 1000);

                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {

                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }

        }
        return sentCount;

    }
    protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... mprogress) {
        progress.setProgress(mprogress[0]);
        /*Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Sent " + mprogress + " messages", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();*/
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Integer result) {
        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Sent " + result + " messages", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

Answer 1

The progress set in onPreExecute is a local variable. I don’t know which progress the compiler sees in your onProgressUpdate, but it’s not the same one. Therefore, it’s probably null.
