I'm trying to create a ListView inside a ViewStub, but i keep on getting a NullPointerException
. My Buttons works as intended inside the ViewStub. The code that fails is as following:
else if(v.getId() == R.id.comments_button_series_view){
if(stubUsed == false){
stub = (ViewStub) findViewById(R.id.stub);
View inflatedStub = stub.inflate();
String[] comments = new String[]{"comment1", "comment2"};
commentsAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.patient_list_element,
R.id.comments_list_comments_view, comments);
commentsList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.comments_list_comments_view);
commentsList.setAdapter(commentsAdapter);
I think it failes at commentsList.setAdapter(commentsAdapter).
This XML file with the content of the ViewStub that holds the ListView is as following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/comment_stub"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/settings_background" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/comments_button_comment_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="62dp"
android:text="Add comment" />
<ListView
android:id="@+id/comments_list_comments_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="470dp"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/pin_button_comments_view"
android:layout_below="@+id/comments_button_comment_view" >
</ListView>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignRight="@+id/comments_button_comment_view"
android:layout_marginRight="119dp"
android:text="COMMENTS"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/pin_button_comments_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/comments_button_comment_view"
android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/comments_button_comment_view"
android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/comments_button_comment_view"
android:text="Add Pin" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/hide_button_comments_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/pin_button_comments_view"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:text="Hide" />
</RelativeLayout>
I have tested the code for the ListView without using a viewstub, and that works just fine.
I think i got it all? Any help is appreciated! :)
EDIT:
Thanks for fast reply!
THe contentView is set on the view where the ViewStub is inflated. But as mentioned, it works just fine with buttons, but i don't get why i get a nullpointer with the ListView! :(
Here is the outcome from the LogCat:

Thanks again:)
There seems to be an error when you are creating the ArrayAdapter
object.
The third parameter in the constructor (textViewResourceId
) should be a TextView
instead of a ListView
.
Change that and it should be working.
