Menu
I am trying to write a code in Android , to hide the Actionbar during scroll down event. I have a grid 10x50. So when i am scrolling down the action bar should hide. I am getting scroll state result in the Log Cat correctly so , whenever i am applying for getActionBar().hide , i am getting NullPointerException error.
My Code :
package com.example.complexdatepicker;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.widget.TabHost.TabSpec;
public class MainActivity extends TabActivity
{
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
TabSpec tab1 = tabHost.newTabSpec("Home");
tab1.setIndicator("Home");
Intent photosIntent = new Intent(this, Home.class);
tab1.setContent(photosIntent);
tabHost.addTab(tab1);
}
}
Home.java
package com.example.complexdatepicker;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.widget.GridView;
public class Home extends ActionBarActivity
{
ArrayList<String> abc;
TestGrid tg;
GridView gv;
int mLastFirstVisibleItem;
int mLastVisibleItemCount;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.home);
gv = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridView1);
abc = new ArrayList<String>();
for(int i=0;i<500;i++)
{
abc.add(String.valueOf(i));
}
tg = new TestGrid(Home.this,Home.this,abc);
gv.setAdapter(tg);
getSupportActionBar().hide(); /// Getting Error at this point..
/*
gv.setOnScrollListener(new AbsListView.OnScrollListener() {
public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem, int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
if (mLastFirstVisibleItem > firstVisibleItem) {
Log.e(getClass().toString(), "scrolling up");
getActionBar().show();
} else if (mLastFirstVisibleItem < firstVisibleItem) {
Log.e(getClass().toString(), "scrolling down");
getActionBar().hide();
} else if (mLastVisibleItemCount < visibleItemCount) {
Log.e(getClass().toString(), "scrolling down");
getActionBar().hide();
} else if (mLastVisibleItemCount > visibleItemCount) {
Log.e(getClass().toString(), "scrolling up");
getActionBar().show();
}
mLastFirstVisibleItem = firstVisibleItem;

Your Home Activity must extend ActionBarActivity instead of FragmentActivity so you can call getActionBar() method.
ActionBarActivity extends FragmentActivity. Also, you should use getSupportActionBar() instead of getActionBar() because the latest requires API level 11.
Also note that you need to import v4 support library to be able to call getSupportActionBar() and support v7 library to use ActionBarActivity.
