Blank Screen showing up after Image Selected from Gallery

I am trying to get an image into the ImageView but whenever I click a picture on the Gallery the app shows a blank screen and closes down.
This ImageView is in a fragment
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_auction_add, container, false);
auction_add_imageViewButton = v.findViewById(R.id.auction_add_imageView_button);
auction_add_imageViewButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
imageSelectAction(v);
}
});
dateTimeAction(v);
return v;
}
private void imageSelectAction(View v) {
auction_add_imageViewButton = v.findViewById(R.id.auction_add_imageView_button);
auction_add_image = v.findViewById(R.id.auction_add_imageView);
choosePicture();
}
private void choosePicture() {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, #Nullable Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
if (data != null && data.getData() != null) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
auction_add_image.setImageURI(selectedImageUri);
}
}
}
}
The Inital Declaration
public class auction_add extends Fragment {
private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 10;
private static final int PERMISSION_CODE = 11;
ImageButton auction_add_imageViewButton;
//References to all Auction Add Page EditText
EditText auction_add_itemNameTxt;
EditText auction_add_descriptionTxt;
EditText auction_add_initialPriceTxt;
EditText auction_add_startTimeTxt;
EditText auction_add_endTimeTxt;
//Reference to ImageView
private ImageView auction_add_image;
final Calendar myCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Would Appreciate the help thanks!

By looking into the exception it seems that the App is crashing in #onActivityResult function at line auction_add_image.setImageURI(selectedImageUri); due to NPE (Null Pointer Exception). This expection/crash is caused since the auction_add_image object has null value instead of an ImageView.
After taking an close look into your code, I think the issue has occured due to following code:
auction_add_imageViewButton = v.findViewById(R.id.auction_add_imageView_button);
auction_add_imageViewButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
imageSelectAction(v);
}
});
Note that in #onClick function you are passing view v on which you are going to perform the #findViewById operation. Here the passed view v refers to the auction_add_imageViewButton instead of the v you have captured above.
I would suggest to modify the code as below (just rename the v variable in #onClick function):
auction_add_imageViewButton = v.findViewById(R.id.auction_add_imageView_button);
auction_add_imageViewButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View buttonView) {
imageSelectAction(v);
}
});
This way the variable name collision could be avoided and the error would be resolved.
Also, in case this does not solve your problem, then please check whether the #findViewById is returning an ImageView instead of null. In case the Id provided to #findViewById is not present on the screen or in the child views of view (on which the #findViewById) is being performed then the #findViewById will return null value.
Also, check whether you have assigned null value to auction_add_image in anywhere your code.

Nullpointer on getIntent().getExtras();

code in RegisterActivity1:
Bundle extras = new Bundle();
...
case R.id.continue_button:
extras.putString("email",eMail_eingabe.getText().toString().trim());
extras.putString("pw1", passwort_1_eingabe.getText().toString().trim());
extras.putString("pw2", passwort_2_eingabe.getText().toString().trim());
i.putExtras(extras);
this.startActivity(i);
break;
code in RegisterActivity2:
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras(); //Nullpointer oocurs here
semail = extras.getString("email");
spw1 = extras.getString("pw1");
spw2 = extras.getString("pw2");
I'm trying to pass email and password from activity 1 to activity 2, but nothing I have tried so far seems to be working. I always get a Nullpointer Exception here:
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
Any tips on how to fix this?
Here is the full method from Activity1, in case it has something to do with the override method...
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
String email = eMail_eingabe.getText().toString().trim();
String password = passwort_1_eingabe.getText().toString().trim();
if (eMail_eingabe.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
//eMail_eingabe.setError("Bitte email eingeben");
eMail_eingabe.setText("Bitte email eingeben");
eMail_eingabe.requestFocus();
return;
}
if (!Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(email).matches()) {
eMail_eingabe.setError("Bitte eine gültige E-Mail eingeben");
eMail_eingabe.requestFocus();
return;
}
if (password.length() < 6) {
passwort_1_eingabe.setError("Bitte mindestens 6 Zeichen eingeben");
passwort_1_eingabe.requestFocus();
return;
} else if (passwort_1_eingabe.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
passwort_1_eingabe.setError("Bitte passwort eingeben");
passwort_1_eingabe.requestFocus();
return;
} else if (passwort_2_eingabe.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
passwort_2_eingabe.setError("Bitte passwort eingeben");
passwort_2_eingabe.requestFocus();
return;
}
if (!passwort_1_eingabe.getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase(passwort_2_eingabe.getText().toString())) {
passwort_2_eingabe.setError("Passwort stimmt nicht überein");
passwort_2_eingabe.requestFocus();
return;
}
switch (view.getId()) {
case R.id.continue_button:
extras.putString("email", eMail_eingabe.getText().toString().trim());
extras.putString("pw1", passwort_1_eingabe.getText().toString().trim());
extras.putString("pw2", passwort_2_eingabe.getText().toString().trim());
i.putExtras(extras);
this.startActivity(i);
break;
}
}

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
had to be called in the onCreate method, I called it before so it didn't work.
Someone gave the right answer, but deleted his post later (because he got 2 downvotes??)
Anyways, thanks alot.

Problem is not because of getExtras() its because of getIntent(). Check your getIntent() with null and use further.
Your code should be something like
if(getIntent() != null) {
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras(); //Nullpointer oocurs here
semail = extras.getString("email");
spw1 = extras.getString("pw1");
spw2 = extras.getString("pw2");
}
Good luck.

when you call getIntent(), it returns the intent that you created in previous Activity.
public Intent getIntent ()
Return the intent that started this activity.
Activity documentation
so in second activity, your intent is null
in onCreate initiate your intent

Getting NullPointerException in a BankList Activity when sending data from MainActivity using intent in android [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?
(12 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I am trying to pass an arraylist between two activities, but my app crashes at the second activity. Can someone help me solve in this problem...
Here,
I have two parts of my MainActivity from where sending arraylist to another Activity which is BankList Activity
Part 1:
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, BankList.class);
intent.putStringArrayListExtra("BANKLIST",bankListArrayList);
startActivity(intent);
Part 2:
Result<ArrayList<Bank>> banklist = (Result<ArrayList<Bank>>)data;
if(banklist.getCode().equals("00")){
Toast.makeText(this,"list Banks success",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
bankListArrayList = new ArrayList<>();
for(Bank bank :banklist.getData()){
bank.getIin();
bank.getLogo();
bank.getName();
b
ankListArrayList.add(bank.toString());
}
Log.d("BANK_ARRAYLIST","BANK_ARRAYLIST"+bankListArrayList);
Toast.makeText(this,"BANK_ARRAYLIST"+bankListArrayList,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
My Second Activity (BankList)
public class BankList extends AppCompatActivity {
ListView bankList;
ArrayList<String> bankdataList;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_bank_list);
bankList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.bankList);
Intent intent = getIntent();
intent.getStringArrayListExtra("BANKLIST");
bankdataList.add(intent.toString());
Toast.makeText(BankList.this,"bank list"+bankdataList,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
ArrayAdapter<String> itemsAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(),R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item, bankdataList);
bankList.setAdapter(itemsAdapter);
}
}
And my Log is :-

You forgot to initialize your bankdataList Arraylist just initialize it
ArrayList<String> bankdataList= new ArrayList();;
Sample code
public class BankList extends AppCompatActivity {
ListView bankList;
ArrayList<String> bankdataList;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_bank_list);
bankdataList= new ArrayList();
bankList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.bankList);
Intent intent = getIntent();
intent.getStringArrayListExtra("BANKLIST");
bankdataList.add(intent.toString());
Toast.makeText(BankList.this,"bank list"+bankdataList,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
ArrayAdapter<String> itemsAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(),R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item, bankdataList);
bankList.setAdapter(itemsAdapter);
}
}

You have not initialize bankdataList before add items.
bankdataList = new ArrayList<String>();
bankdataList.add(intent.getStringArrayListExtra("BANKLIST"));

this is login activity code is their any problem in this code

startActivity(main_trans);
}
});
register.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
startActivity(reg_trans);

this is main activity codes is their any problem in here

case R.id.setting :
startActivity(new_new_setting);
case R.id.meeting :
startActivity(new_new_meeting);
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

for me i was trying to use the application with no base context accidently.
so i had in my application override:
#Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
}
//instead of calling its super:
#Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
super.attachBaseContext(newBase);}

Change your getApplicationContext() from
Toast welcome = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),wel_on_main,Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
to either getBaseContext() or preferably this

Set an image on imageview using arraylist strings and strings

Brief Description: This is a speech to text app, if the word they spoken is also a word in the database file then it will also have an image of that word spoken.
So I attempted to use imageResource to set the image but it failed, as it is using an ArrayList and a String for the first part of the imageResoruce function. which is assumed to be causing the error message as it crashes when i open the application.
Main.java
public class Main extends Activity {
private static final int VR_Request = 100;
private final String pathname = ".png"; //path name of an image file stored in the drawable folder
TextView speechInput;
TextView matchOrNot;
String[] wordBank; //
ArrayList<String> wordBANK;
ImageButton speechBtn;
ImageView image;
Resources res = getResources();
int resID;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_reverse_pictionary);
speechInput = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.english_word);
matchOrNot = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.matchOrNot);
wordBank = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.Words);
speechBtn = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.mic_pic_button);

Any Ideas? Thank you in advance!

Move the code :
Resources res = getResources();
into the onCreate() method.
You can not use getResources() before the activity created.
