Can not find a View with findViewById()

Question

I cannot find a TextView by calling findViewById(), even though the ID does exist.

OtherActivity:

public class         


        

Answer 1

You have to make sure that your TextView element is already generated on the creation of your activity.

Most likely, if it's a Menu element, you will have to call the findViewById method on the onCreateOptionsMenu() callback and not on the Oncreate() callback.
