问题


I keep getting a java.lang.NullPointerException when I try to use ScrollView in an activity.

The weird thing is that I've used the exact same Scrollview setup in other activities. And all of a sudden I'm getting errors. I've tried cleaning the project and rebuilding.

And I've tried the good old restart the program. I learned a lot about Null Pointer Exceptions today, but I haven't been able to figure out why I keep getting Rendering Problems.

This is the java.lang.NullPointerException that is thrown on the XML:

So, none of this is code that I wrote. So I dove into the stack trace and found this:

Which points to line 11 on the Contact.java file. Which looks like this (I've put indicators around line 11) :

  package com.mitchellpalermo.tutroubleshooting;

  import android.app.Activity;
  import android.os.Bundle;

  public class Contact extends Activity {

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
              super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
              setContentView(R.layout.activity_contact); // line 11
        }
  }

I don't see a problem with line 11.

Now, I can't figure out what is wrong with my code. Between Rendering Problems and NullPointerExceptions, I can't figure out what is actually wrong with my code.

This is an example of XML in an activity in which the ScrollView doesn't throw any errors:

                android:text="@string/mitch" />

        </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

    </LinearLayout>

</ScrollView>

Any suggestions? And thank you so much in advance!

Change <view to <View, because view is not about empty view. It's for custom view defined through class attr, like below:

<view
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    class="com.your.package.YourCustomView" />

And you got

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference

because of LayoutInflater tries to parse class attr:

LayoutInflater source code

//...
View createViewFromTag(View parent, String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
        boolean ignoreThemeAttr) {
    if (name.equals("view")) { // line 724
        name = attrs.getAttributeValue(null, "class"); // line 725
    }

    // Apply a theme wrapper, if allowed and one is specified.
    if (!ignoreThemeAttr) {
        final TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, ATTRS_THEME);
        final int themeResId = ta.getResourceId(0, 0);
        if (themeResId != 0) {
            context = new ContextThemeWrapper(context, themeResId);
        }
        ta.recycle();
    }

    if (name.equals(TAG_1995)) { // line 738
        // Let's party like it's 1995!
        return new BlinkLayout(context, attrs);
    }
//...
  • On line 724 it check that your tag is view and gets true
  • On line 725 it tries to get class through class attr and gets null
  • On line 738 it tries to check for blink tag and gets crash

Also, there is a curious thing, Android developers added Easter egg, you can try it:

<view
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    class="blink">
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="Some text" />
</view>

After 2 days I solved this problem use View instead of view

<View
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="1dp"
    android:background="#faf4f4"></View>
