The gridview has an image and one line of text for each item. The error is in the onItemClick here, I set up a test layout and class to see if it would send information there.

Can't figure out why it is throwing this error since I'm pretty sure I have the correct practice. Here is my code, is it something to do with using a SherlockFragment?:

public class AllTab extends SherlockFragment {

GridView gridView;
TextView itemLabel;
Context mContext;
static final String[] mobile_os = new String[] {
lots of string here };

@Override
public SherlockFragmentActivity getSherlockActivity() {
    return super.getSherlockActivity();
}

@Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstaceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.gridview_alltab, container, false);

    gridView = (GridView) view.findViewById(R.id.AllTabGridView);
    itemLabel = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.item_label);
    gridView.setAdapter(new AllTabImageAdapter(getSherlockActivity(), mobile_os));

    gridView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View view, int position,
                long arg3) {

            switch(position) {
            case 0:
                Intent one = new Intent(mContext, Test.class);
                one.putExtra("databaseUrl", "SELECT * FROM stuffs");
                startActivity(one);
                break;
            }
        }

    });

    return view;
}

@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    setUserVisibleHint(true);
} 

All help appreciated thanks.

Answer 1

You have mContext listed as a variable, but it is never set.

try :

mContext = this;

or maybe mContext = getActivity(); // for a fragment

somewhere within OnCreateView()

Answer 2

your line

static final String[] mobile_os = "lots and lots of strings here"
};

should be

static final String[] mobile_os = { "lots and lots of strings here"
};

i think the missing opening bracket is what's breaking your app
