Model View Control Issue: Null Pointer Initialization Question [closed]
- by David Dimalanta
Good morning again. This is David. Please, I need an urgent help regarding control model view where I making a code that uniquely separating into groups:
An Activity Java Class to Display the Interface
A View and Function Java Class for Drawing Cards and Display it on the Activity Class
The problem is that the result returns a Null Pointer Exception. I have initialize for the ID for Text View and Image View. Under this class "draw_deck.java". Please help me.
Here's my code for draw_deck.java:
package com.bodapps.inbetween.model;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import com.bodapps.inbetween.R;
public class draw_deck extends View
{
public TextView count_label;
public ImageView draw_card;
private int count;
public draw_deck(Context context)
{
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
//I have initialized two widgets for ID. I still don't get it why I got forced closed by Null Pointer Exception thing.
draw_card = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.IV_Draw_Card);
count_label = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Text_View_Count_Card);
}
public void draw(int s, int c, String strSuit, String strValue, Pile pile, Context context)
{
//super(context);
//Just printing the card drawn from pile
int suit, value = 1;
draw_card = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.IV_Draw_Card);
count_label = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Text_View_Count_Card);
Card card;
if(!pile.isEmpty()) //Setting it to IF statement displays the card one by one.
{
card = pile.drawFromPile();
//Need to check first if card is null.
if (card != null)
{
//draws an extra
if (card != null)
{
//Get suit of card to print out.
suit = card.getSuit();
switch (suit)
{
case CardInfo.DIAMOND:
strSuit = "DIAMOND";
s=0;
break;
case CardInfo.HEART:
strSuit = "HEART";
s=1;
break;
case CardInfo.SPADE:
strSuit = "SPADE";
s=2;
break;
case CardInfo.CLUB:
strSuit = "CLUB";
s=3;
break;
}
//Get value of card to print out.
value = card.getValue();
switch (value)
{
case CardInfo.ACE:
strValue = "ACE";
c=0;
break;
case CardInfo.TWO:
c=1;
break;
case CardInfo.THREE:
strValue = "THREE";
c=2;
break;
case CardInfo.FOUR:
strValue = "FOUR";
c=3;
break;
case CardInfo.FIVE:
strValue = "FIVE";
c=4;
break;
case CardInfo.SIX:
strValue = "SIX";
c=4;
break;
case CardInfo.SEVEN:
strValue = "SEVEN";
c=4;
break;
case CardInfo.EIGHT:
strValue = "EIGHT";
c=4;
break;
case CardInfo.NINE:
strValue = "NINE";
c=4;
break;
case CardInfo.TEN:
strValue = "TEN";
c=4;
break;
case CardInfo.JACK:
strValue = "JACK";
c=4;
break;
case CardInfo.QUEEN:
strValue = "QUEEN";
c=4;
break;
case CardInfo.KING:
strValue = "KING";
c=4;
break;
}
}
}
}//
//Below two lines of code, this is where issued the Null Pointer Exception.
draw_card.setImageResource(deck[s][c]);
count_label.setText(new StringBuilder(strValue).append(" of ").append(strSuit).append(String.valueOf(" " + count++)).toString());
}
//Choice of Suits in a Deck
public Integer[][] deck =
{
//Array Group 1 is [0][0] (No. of Cards: 4 - DIAMOND)
{
R.drawable.card_dummy_1,
R.drawable.card_dummy_2,
R.drawable.card_dummy_4,
R.drawable.card_dummy_5,
R.drawable.card_dummy_3
},
//Array Group 2 is [1][0] (No. of Cards: 4 - HEART)
{
R.drawable.card_dummy_1,
R.drawable.card_dummy_2,
R.drawable.card_dummy_4,
R.drawable.card_dummy_5,
R.drawable.card_dummy_3
},
//Array Group 3 is [2][0] (No. of Cards: 4 - SPADE)
{
R.drawable.card_dummy_1,
R.drawable.card_dummy_2,
R.drawable.card_dummy_4,
R.drawable.card_dummy_5,
R.drawable.card_dummy_3
},
//Array Group 4 is [3][0] (No. of Cards: 4 - CLUB)
{
R.drawable.card_dummy_1,
R.drawable.card_dummy_2,
R.drawable.card_dummy_4,
R.drawable.card_dummy_5,
R.drawable.card_dummy_3
},
};
}
And this one of the activity class, Player_Mode_2.java:

}
}
}
}
Take note that the issues on Null Pointer Exception is the Image View and the Edit Text. I got to test it. Thanks. If you have any info about my question, let me know it frankly.
