I'm using the Android Studio template for the Drawer Navigation. I wanted to add a click event to the drawer's header, but when I try to findViewById in the onCreate() method, I get a null exception. I'm guessing it's because it hasn't been inflated yet.
Interesting to me is that findViewById on the drawer_layout and the nav_view returned an object. I tried to do this:
drawer.findViewById;
and this:
navigationView.findViewById;
But that still gives me an exception.
So my question is two fold:
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show();
}
});
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.setDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
ImageView profile = (ImageView) navigationView.findViewById(R.id.iv_profile);
profile.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { // Null Pointer Exception
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), "Profile", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
@SuppressWarnings("StatementWithEmptyBody")
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle navigation view item clicks here.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.nav_camera) {
// Handle the camera action
} else if (id == R.id.nav_gallery) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_slideshow) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_manage) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_share) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_send) {
}
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
}

FindViewById<T>(Int32) Finds a view that was identified by the id attribute from the XML layout resource.
Using getView() returns the view of the fragment, then you can call findViewById() to access any view element in the fragment view.
As for how to switch between activities via the navigation drawer, you can just set up new intents within your selectItem() method: private void selectItem(int position) { // Handle Navigation Options Intent intent; switch (position) { case 0: intent = new Intent(currentActivity, NewActivity.
All you need to replace is:
ImageView profile = (ImageView) navigationView.getHeaderView(0).findViewById(R.id.iv_profile);
and everything will work fine.
Pay attention to the navigationView.getHeaderView(0)
part... Where you get a reference to the headerLayout
you set in xml.
