getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, 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.

if (id == R.id.action_settings) {

return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/**
* A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
*/
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
public PlaceholderFragment() {
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
return rootView;
}
}
}
It seems you built your views inside fragment_main.xml and not activity_main.xml.
When you first create a new android project, you have these files which are automatically created and opened:
Then, when you begin, you add views (e.g: a TextView) inside fragment_main.xml
file. Whereas you tried to do a basically event with this view inside your Activity
, something like this:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); // Using layout activity_main.xml
// You try to set a simple text on the view (TextView) previously added
TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
text.setText("Simple Text"); // And you get an error here!
/*
* You do an fragment transaction to add PlaceholderFragment Fragment
* on screen - this below snippnet is automatically created.
*/
if(savedInstanceState == null) {
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
}
}
You cannot run your app or sometimes you have only a white screen, because the views that you tried to call/display are into the wrong layout..
Solution: Move all your stuff inside onCreateView method into the Fragment class. Call views and do something in the related fragment and not the parent activity.
For example, for your case:
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
int counter;
Button add, sub;
TextView display;
public PlaceholderFragment() {
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
counter = 0;
// Don't forget to attach your view to the inflated view as "rootView.findViewById()"
add = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.bAdd);
sub = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.bSub);
display = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.textDisp);
add.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Perform action on click
counter++;
}
});
return rootView;
}
}
i got the solution and i tested it too
the problem isn't only moving the code into
but also i have to use the following after moving the code
add = (Button) rootView.findViewById (R.id.bAdd);
sub = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.bSub);
display = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.tvDisplay);
instead of the following
add = (Button) findViewById (R.id.bAdd);
sub = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bSub);
display = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvDisplay);
i hope any body comment here for the explanation of that behavior please
