I'm having problems with a webview inside a fragment. I'm getting a error message saying "java.lang.nullpointerexception" at this line: myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());. I have googled and googled but not found a solution. Any ideas as to what I'm missing?

Make sure you are loading the right xml file. I have done this before by mistakenly loading another layout file. You have webview.xml typed above that file but you inflating R.layout.fragment_b
Edit
Each fragment has its own layout file. You can reuse layouts and add multiple layouts to one xml file but through code your fragment will only inflate the file you refer to.
If you want to include other files you have to use include statements to pull those other files in to your xml before you can interact with objects in the other xml files. Click here for more details about include statements. Example below
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width=”match_parent”
android:layout_height=”match_parent”
android:background="#color/app_bg"
android:gravity="center_horizontal">
<include layout="#layout/titlebar"/>
<TextView android:layout_width=”match_parent”
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello"
android:padding="10dp" />
</LinearLayout>

I am new to android and cannot find a solution online. I have a navigation drawer that leads to the fragment 'RecentNews', which is related to it's XML 'fragment_recent_news'. I have a WebView (webview) setup in the XML, and have set up the fragment so that it should load a page, but it does not. What am I doing incorrectly? I am unsure if the way to properly do this has changed in the past year because nothing online has worked. Thanks
fragment_recent_news(xml):
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context="com.hardingsoftware.hrcfitness.RecentNews">
<WebView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
RecentNews:
package com.hardingsoftware.hrcfitness;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class RecentNews extends Fragment {
WebView webView;
public RecentNews() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_recent_news, container, false);
WebView myWebView = (WebView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.loadUrl("www.hrcfitness.com/recent-news/");
return rootView;
}
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
}
EDIT: I have the page loading now, however I now have another issue, where the webview seems to ignore the relative layout and part of it is lying under the main bar.
I am hardly trying to create a simple application with a top menu and a changeable view below (by pressing the buttons in the menu fragment we change the view of the fragment below).
So, I have 2 fragments inside the main view but when trying to run the application in the emulator I get an error like:
Cause by android.app (bla bla bla, piece of crap Eclipse doesn't even allow copying the errors):
Trying to instantiate a class com.example.android.topmenu that is not a fragment
So, these are my XML layouts:
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<fragment
android:id="#+id/menuFragment"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:name="com.example.android.topmenu" >
</fragment>
<fragment
android:id="#+id/contentFragment"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:name="com.example.android.bottomcontent" >
</fragment>
</LinearLayout>
topmenu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/Button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
bottom_content.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#+string/content_text" />
</LinearLayout>
and these are the classes for the main activity and the fragments
main_activity
package com.example.android;
import com.example.android.R;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class OLife extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// The activity is being created
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Set view
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
// The activity is about to be destroyed.
super.onDestroy();
// Stop method tracing that the activity started during onCreate()
android.os.Debug.stopMethodTracing();
}
}
topmenu
package com.example.android;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class OLifeMenu extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.topmenu, container, false);
return view;
}
}
bottomcontent
package com.example.android;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class OLifeMain extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.bottom_content, container, false);
return view;
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
}
}
You should be using FragmentActivity instead of Activity that is because you are using support Fragments and multiple Fragments in your activity main
Edit
You can now use the Appcompat support library and extends AppCompatActivity to support toolbar and fragment for lower api.
In my case it turned out, I was doing stuff in onCreate in the wrong order:
setContentView(R.layout.activity_qr_code_scan);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
instead of
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_qr_code_scan);
As you are using fragments in your layout and I suggest you to extend your class from fragment or fragment activity.
There is a error in mView, I need solution
package com.example.account;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class WebView extends Activity {
private WebView webView;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
}
}
My xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/webView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
Cannot cast from view to webview
WebView mView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1)
Try this layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
give me feedback on this.
Update:
You should change your Activity name with Different one. or defined your WebView with different name like:
WebView mView2 = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1)
You are using your activity name as WebView. This name is already used by SDK API. This is the reason it is giving you error.
To solve it, just rename your WebView.java file to some another name like MyWebView.java then your problem will surely solve.
To safely rename your .java file, Just go to packageexplorer , select WebView.java and press F2, and give new name.
Try this, it may help
1 . Using Eclipse, create a new Android project and name it as WebView.
2 . Add the following statements to the main.xml file:
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”utf-8”?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” android:orientation=”vertical”
android:layout_width=”fill_parent”
android:layout_height=”fill_parent” >
<WebView
android:id=”#+id/webview1”
android:layout_width=”wrap_content”
android:layout_height=”wrap_content” />
</LinearLayout>
3 . In the MainActivity.java file, add the following statements in bold:
package com.emergingandroidtech.WebView;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
/**Called when the activity is first created.*/
#Override
public void onCreate(BundlesavedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview1);
WebSettings webSettings = wv.getSettings();
webSettings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
wv.loadUrl( “www.google.com”);
}
}
4. Don't forget to give the internet permission in manifest file
Thank you
You should keep webview inside any parent view
Do not use reserved words as your variable, class and method name.
Here, WebView is reserved or already used by SDK. If you use that word again, Compiler will get confused.
activity_main.xml
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
MainActivity.java
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
private WebView webview;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
webview=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
//loads androidride homepage to webview
webview.loadUrl("https://www.androidride.com");
}
}
I'm trying to get my head around fragments in order to have my apps prepped for ICS.
I have the following files to just get the most basic fragment app you can have. It should have this when launched: One Fragment Layout with a text view "Fragment 1" and next to it another Fragment Layout with "Fragment2".
My package name is com.mwerner.fragments
My files are:
FragmentsActivity.java
ExamplesFragment.java
ExamplesFragment2.java
examples_fragment.xml
examples_fragment2.xml
main.xml
The code for FragmentsActivity.java is:
package com.mwerner.fragments;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class FragmentsActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}
ExamplesFragment.java
package com.mwerner.fragments;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class ExamplesFragment extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.examples_fragment, container, false);
}
}
ExamplesFragment2.java
package com.mwerner.fragments;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class ExamplesFragment2 extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.examples_fragment2, container, false);
}
}
The examples_fragment.xml files just have a linear layout with a textview in it...
Here is the code for the main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<fragment
class="com.mwerner.fragments$ExamplesFragment"
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
<fragment
class="com.mwerner.fragments$ExamplesFragment2"
android:id="#+id/viewer"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
The app crashes on startup with the error
11-07 18:12:12.519: E/AndroidRuntime(696): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.mwerner.fragments/com.mwerner.fragments.FragmentsActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #7: Error inflating class fragment
Can you please tell me what is wrong here? I pretty much copied / pasted the code from the google developers page for fragments.
You defined the path to your fragments incorrectly in your layout xml. Correct the class attributes. Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<fragment
class="com.mwerner.fragments.ExamplesFragment"
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
<fragment
class="com.mwerner.fragments.ExamplesFragment2"
android:id="#+id/viewer"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
Try extending FragmentActivity
public class FragmentsActivity extends FragmentActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}
When I was writing my first program on Fragments using I incurred same error. Instead of extending "Activity" extend "FragmentActivity" in your launcher activity.
I am trying to create a simple webview and I am getting FC on each start.
Here is my MainActivity.java file:
package com.jerdog.apps;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.layout.main);
myWebView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
}
}
and here is my res/layout/main.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello"
/>
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
I am including my logcat from the moment I press Run in Eclipse at pastebin
http://pastebin.com/5trRw9Bd
This line:
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.layout.main);
is incorrect, and myWebView is null. Thus the following line throws the NullPointerException
Change the line to:
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
findViewById takes the id of the View you wish to find as an input, however you were passing in your layout. Changing this to the id of the WebView element from your main.xml file should fix the issue. There is a tutorial if you need a reference implementation.
