I'm trying to update textview in fragment from another activity. But I'm getting a NUllPointerException when calling the setText method. I have tried the following, but still getting the NPE. 1. Tried accessing the fragments textview with FindViewbyId in activity. 2. Tried using a method in fragment and calling it from activity and passing the value as parameters
FragHome Activity
public class FragHome extends AppCompatActivity implements TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener {
Handler bluetoothIn;
private static TextView tmpF, humF, CoF;
String tempGL, HumGL, coGL, devname;
double dblTemp, dblCo;
final int handlerState = 0; // used to identify handler message
private BluetoothAdapter btAdapter = null;
private TabLayout tabLayout;
private ViewPager viewPager;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_frag_home);
//Adding toolbar to the activity
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
//Initializing the tablayout
tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabLayout);
//Initializing viewPager
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
//Adding the tabs using addTab() method
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Temperature"));
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Humidity"));
tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("CO"));
tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
//Creating our pager adapter
Pager adapter = new Pager(getSupportFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount());
//Adding adapter to pager
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
viewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));
//Adding onTabSelectedListener to swipe views
tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(this);
bluetoothIn=new Handler() {
String readMessage;
String[] values = new String[]{""};
public void handleMessage(android.os.Message msg) {
if (msg.what == handlerState) {
readMessage = (String) msg.obj;
values = readMessage.split("#");
for (int j = 0; j < values.length; j++) {
int rem = j % 3;
if (rem == 0) {
tmpF.setText(values[j] + " C");
tempGL = String.valueOf(values[j]);
try {
dblTemp = Double.parseDouble(tempGL);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else if (rem == 1) {
CoF.setText(values[j] + " ppm");
coGL = values[j];
try {
dblCo = Double.parseDouble(coGL);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else if (rem == 2) {
humF.setText(values[j] + " %");
HumGL = values[j];
}
}
}
}
};
btAdapter=BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(); // get Bluetooth
