I have an 2 activity and a service, in first I have navigation drawer, and 2 textviews in its header, and I must change their text sometimes, in service there is some data that i need
On first run everything is perfect, but when I go to the first activity from second, I have nullpointerexception in textviews. What causes it, and how to fix?
//First
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//Navigation drawer init
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbarMain);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view_main);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
intent = new Intent("playbackservice");
sConn = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder binder) {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "MainActivity onServiceConnected");
service = ((PlaybackService.PlaybackServiceBinder) binder).getService();
bound = true;
prepareLayout();
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "MainActivity onServiceDisconnected");
bound = false;
}
};
}
private void prepareLayout() {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "prepareLayout: Running");
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.songNameNavhead)).setText(currentSong.getName());
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.artistNavhead)).setText(currentSong.getArtist());
}
And
//Layout nav_header_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

To successfuly find any widget in Navigation Drawer's header, you need to obtain header view first. This can be achieved by using getHeaderView() method:
View header = ((NavigationView)findViewById(R.id.navigation_view)).getHeaderView(0);
Then, having header
pointing to the right ViewGroup
with our widgets in it, you can use findViewById()
as usual:
TextView tv = header.findViewById(R.id.songNameNavhead);
tv.setText(currentSong.getName());
Or in more compact manner:
((TextView)header.findViewById(R.id.songNameNavhead))
.setText(currentSong.getName());
