Android NumberPicker to string

Question

I am trying to turn 2 number pickers to a string but it never seems to work.

I just keep getting an NPE and cannot seem to figure out the cause.

See code and Logcat below,

Any help is appreciated.

The below is within onCreate.....

        final Context context = this;
    LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    View promptsView = li.inflate(R.layout.custominout, null);
    AlertDialog.Builder renamedialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
    renamedialog.setTitle("Custom output change");
    renamedialog.setView(promptsView);

    int minInValue = 1;
    int maxInValue = 16;
    int currentInValue = 1;
    final NumberPicker inCapacity = (NumberPicker) promptsView.findViewById(R.id.inpicker);
    inCapacity.setMinValue(minInValue);
    inCapacity.setMaxValue(maxInValue);
    inCapacity.setValue(currentInValue);

    int minOutValue = 1;
    int maxOutValue = 16;
    int currentOutValue = 1;
    final NumberPicker outCapacity = (NumberPicker) promptsView.findViewById(R.id.outpicker);
    outCapacity.setMinValue(minOutValue);
    outCapacity.setMaxValue(maxOutValue);
    outCapacity.setValue(currentOutValue);

    renamedialog.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

            whatin = (NumberPicker) findViewById(R.id.inpicker);
            whatout = (NumberPicker) findViewById(R.id.outpicker);

            String inpicker = String.valueOf(whatin.getValue());
            String outpicker = String.valueOf(whatout.getValue());

            try {
                CustomInOut cus = new CustomInOut();
                cus.setInpicker(inpicker);
                cus.setOutpicker(outpicker);
                cus.execute();

            } catch(IllegalStateException e) {}
        }
    });

    renamedialog.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            // Write your code here to invoke NO event
            dialog.cancel();
        }
    });

Answer 1

Your NumberPickers objects are null.
If they are declared in the layout of renameDialog, then try to find the view by id in the promptsView layout, like this:

whatin = (NumberPicker)promptsView.findViewById(R.id.inpicker);
whatout = (NumberPicker)promptsView.findViewById(R.id.outpicker);
