androidnullpointerexceptiontextviewonclicklisteneronlongclicklistener

Can not figure out this NullPoint Exception


I am adding an onClick listener to a text field in my adapter. I simply want the text in that field to me posted to my Text input box (edittext1). I am trying the code below however it s giving me a NullPoint Exception at the line pointng to edttext1. Help please

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View row = convertView;
        LayoutInflater inflater2 = (LayoutInflater) this.getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        inflater2.inflate(R.layout.activity_discuss, parent, false);

        if (row == null) {
            LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this.getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            if(type==1 || type==3)
                row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listitem_discuss, parent, false);
            else if(type==4 || type==5)
                row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listitem_users, parent, false);
            else
                row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listitem_messages, parent, false);
        }

    //  


        final OneComment coment = getItem(position);

        userComment = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.comment);
        userImage = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.place_img);
        userName = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.place_name);
        userOnlineImage = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.pe_profile_pic);
        commentDate = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.place_distance);
        msgPic = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.msgPic);

        userComment.setText(coment.comment);
        editText1 = (EditText) row.findViewById(R.id.cr_room_name);

        userName.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {

                editText1.setText("testing");
                Log.v("response","username selected");
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }
            });

I would actually prefer to make it a Longclick. Is there an difference in the setup.

Solution

  • There seem to be a little confusion : you ask to find editText1 under the id cr_room_name : inside listitem_messages.xml, but it is apprently inside Actvity_discuss.xml.

    Activity activity = (Activity) getContext();
    editText1 = (EditText) activity.findViewById(R.id.cr_room_name);
    

    But even if this works, it's really an ugly way to couple a view and an activity, you should better go for an observer-obersable design pattern.
