Question

I can't see the reason why my program is not working. Whenever I try to run it, it just force closes. Here are my programs:

My MainActivity

package com.example.teacher;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

private DatabaseHelper dbHelper = new DatabaseHelper(MainActivity.this,"MyDatabase",2);

TextView text;
EditText txtPassword;
EditText teachersId;
EditText teachersName;
Button btnAdd;
Button btnDelete;
Button btnSearch;
Button btnPresent;
Button btnAbsent;



@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
    txtPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtPassword);
    teachersId = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtTeachersID);
    teachersName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtTeachersName);
    btnPresent = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnPresent);
    btnAbsent = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnAbsent);
    btnAdd = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnAddTeacher);
    btnDelete = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnDeleteTeacher);

    SQLiteDatabase db = dbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
    try
    {

        db.execSQL("create table Users(ID integer, name varchar(90), pass varchar(90), attendance varchar(30));");
        text.setText("Successful in creating table.");
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {    
        text.setText("Error in creating table.");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    btnAdd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
    {
        public void onClick(View v)
        {


            if("".equals(teachersId.getText().toString()) || "".equals(txtPassword.getText().toString()))
              {

                toast.show();

My dbhelper

package com.example.teacher;



public class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper 
{
public DatabaseHelper(Context context, String name, CursorFactory factory,
        int version) {
    super(context, name, factory, version);
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

private static final int VERSION = 1;

public DatabaseHelper(Context context,String name)
{
    this(context,name,VERSION);
}

public DatabaseHelper(Context context,String name,int version)
{
    this(context, name,null,version);
}

@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) 
{
    //do nothing
}

@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) 
{
    // do nothing
}



}

According to the logcat, it is caused by null exception, but i really had no idea on where that is and on what to do with it. Please help to solve this force close issue

Solution

You haven't initialized btnSearch

Add this to onCreate

 btnSearch= (Button) findViewById(R.id.idForSearchButton);

which i think is possibly R.id.btnCheckTeacher
