NullPointerException when using CustomListAdapter


I create CustomListAdapter in Android Appiclation. But i get this error NullPointerException when implement it.

Here is my CustomListAdapter.java code :

/**
 * 
 */
package com.fanjavaid.searchhttprequest.adapter;

import java.util.List;

import com.android.volley.toolbox.ImageLoader;
import com.android.volley.toolbox.NetworkImageView;
import com.fanjavaid.searchhttprequest.R;
import com.fanjavaid.searchhttprequest.app.AppController;
import com.fanjavaid.searchhttprequest.model.Menu;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;

/**

public class CustomListAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    private Activity activity;

    private LayoutInflater inflater;

    private List<Menu> menuItems;

    ImageLoader imageLoader = AppController.getInstance().getImageLoader();

    public CustomListAdapter(Activity activity, List<Menu> menuItems) {
        this.activity = activity;
        this.menuItems = menuItems;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return menuItems.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int location) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return menuItems.get(location);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        if (inflater == null)
            inflater = (LayoutInflater) activity.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        if (convertView == null) 
            convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_row, null);

        if (imageLoader == null)
            imageLoader = AppController.getInstance().getImageLoader();
            NetworkImageView thumbNail = (NetworkImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.thumbnail);
            TextView menuTitle = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.menuTitle);
            TextView inputDate = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.postDate);

        // Getting movie data for the row
        Menu m = menuItems.get(position);

        // thumbnail image
        thumbNail.setImageUrl(m.getThumbnailUrl(), imageLoader);

        // title
        menuTitle.setText(m.getMenuTitle());

        // input date
        inputDate.setText("Post Date : " + String.valueOf(m.getInputDate().toString()));

        return convertView;
    }

}

And here is my Activity code :

package com.fanjavaid.searchhttprequest;

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.ListView;

public class ListMenuActivity extends Activity {

    // Log tag
    private static final String TAG = ListMenuActivity.class.getSimpleName();

    // Movie JSON Url
    private List<com.fanjavaid.searchhttprequest.model.Menu> menuList = new ArrayList<com.fanjavaid.searchhttprequest.model.Menu>();
    private ListView listView;
    private CustomListAdapter adapter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_list_menu);

        listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
        adapter = new CustomListAdapter(this, menuList);
        listView.setAdapter(adapter);

        Intent intent = getIntent();

        //String jsonData = intent.getStringExtra("json_menu");

        Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
        String jsonString = bundle.getString("json_menu");

        try {
            JSONObject objectJson = new JSONObject(jsonString);
            JSONArray arrayJson = objectJson.getJSONArray("results");

            for (int i = 0; i < arrayJson.length(); i++) {

                JSONObject obj = arrayJson.getJSONObject(i);

                com.fanjavaid.searchhttprequest.model.Menu menu = new com.fanjavaid.searchhttprequest.model.Menu();
                menu.setMenuTitle(obj.getString("nama_menu"));
                menu.setThumbnailUrl("http://tempercube/receip_finder/" + obj.getString("gambar"));

                String dateInString = obj.getString("tgl_input");
                SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
                Date parsedDate = formatter.parse(dateInString);
                menu.setInputDate(parsedDate);

                // add to list
                menuList.add(menu);
            }

            // notifying list adapter about data changed
            // so that it renders the list view with data changed
            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.list_menu, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

CustomListAdapter instantiation already added before setAdapter() method in my activity. But i still get that NullPointerException Error.

This is my error logcat

}

And the last my list_activity.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ListView

        android:dividerHeight="1dp"
        android:listSelector="@drawable/list_row_selector">
    </ListView>

</RelativeLayout>

Please help. Thank you very much.


Solution

  • I think you didn't add AppController to your manifest:

     <application
            android:name=".AppController" //this one
            android:allowBackup="true"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    

    That's why onCreate never called and mInstance is null.
