Android Question [SOLVED] Setting up an on touch listener with the reflection library

[rleiman]

Greetings,

Can you check my coding? I'm trying to set up an on touch listener on one of my image views with the reflection library. I can compile the app without errors but when I run the app the logs indicate this error:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.view.View.setOnTouchListener(android.view.View$OnTouchListener)' on a null object reference

I think it's because I'm missing some additional code. Can you tell me what additional coding I need to add or correct? Which object is null and how to I change the coding so it's not null?

Thanks.

Sub InitializeObjects

    theReflector.SetOnTouchListener("MapTouch")
    theReflector.Target = MoldMapView
    
    strShared = Starter.rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("Settings")
    
    ' This is for the KeyValueStore database. It stores a Key and a value.
    '---------------------------------------------------------------------
    kvs.Initialize(strShared, "Settings")
End Sub

Sub MapTouch_Touch(ViewTag As Object, Action As Int, X As Float, Y As Float, MotionEvent As Object) As Boolean

    ToastMessageShow("Tapped location x = " & X & " and y = " & Y, True)

    Return True
End Sub

theReflector.SetOnTouchListener("MapTouch")
theReflector.Target = MoldMapView

You should set the target first.

theReflector.Target = MoldMapView
theReflector.SetOnTouchListener("MapTouch")

You should set the target first.

theReflector.Target = MoldMapView
theReflector.SetOnTouchListener("MapTouch")

Hi LucaMS,

Thanks. I never would have guessed about changing the order of those 2.

I also moved the call to the Initialize sub routine after loading the layout. Looks like MoldMapView is not null when the layout is loaded.
