I'm getting a NullPointerException while trying to start an Activity which contains a ListView .
In the getView method of the adapter class, the exception happens when the setText function of a textView is being called .
The code bellow is my adapter class:
public class QuestionsListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Question> {
Context context;
List<Question> questions;
public QuestionsListAdapter(Context context, List<Question> questions){
super(context, R.layout.list_item_question, questions);
this.context = context;
this.questions = questions;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = vi.inflate(R.layout.list_item_question, null);
Question question = questions.get(position);
TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.question_list_item_string);
Log.i(TableCreator.LOG_TAG, question.toString()); //this works fine and the string is not null .
tv.setText(question.toString()+""); //NULL POINTER EXCEPTION .
return view;
}
}
As you see, I've logged the string in the logcat and it works just fine, but the next line makes the mistake . And this is the logcat output:

The logcat shows that the error happens on this line of my adapter class:
tv.setText(question.toString()+"");
I really appreciate your help .
You already know where the problem is!
tv.setText(question.toString()+"");
is causing the NPE that means the TextView tv is null. And that means that the line
TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.question_list_item_string);
is not able to find the TextView. Check the question_list_item_string id and make sure it matches the id in your list_item_question.xml file
