Can anyone help me to find out what can be the issue with this program.
In the onCreate() method the findViewById() returns null for all ids and this causes a null pointer exception later. I can not figure out why the findViewById() can not find the view. Any suggestions?
This is the main code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
ViewPager pager;
MyPagerAdapter adapter;
LinearLayout layout1, layout2, layout3;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
layout1 = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.first_View);
layout2 = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.second_View);
layout3 = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.third_View);
adapter = new MyPagerAdapter();
pager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.main_pager);
pager.setAdapter(adapter);
}
private class MyPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter
{
@Override
public int getCount() {
return 3;
}
@Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup collection, int position) {
LinearLayout l = null;
if (position == 0 )
{
l = layout1;
}
if (position == 1)
{
l = layout2;
}
if (position == 2)
{
l = layout3;
}
collection.addView(l, position);
return l;
}
@Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
return (view==object);
}
@Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup collection, int position, Object view) {
collection.removeView((View) view);
}
}
}
