Question

i am creating a quiz app and it crashes after doing two questions when the app should be going through 5 questions. i'm not sure why as i followed a tutorial to get the basics down. here is the QuizActivity

public class QuizActivity extends Activity
{
List<Question> quesList;
int score=0;
int qid=0;
Question currentQ;
TextView txtQuestion;
RadioButton rda, rdb, rdc;
Button butNext;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_quiz);
    DBHelper db=new DBHelper(this);
    quesList=db.getAllQuestions();
    currentQ=quesList.get(qid);
    txtQuestion=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
    rda=(RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radio0);
    rdb=(RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radio1);
    rdc=(RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radio2);
    butNext=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
    setQuestionView();
    butNext.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v)
        {
            RadioGroup grp=(RadioGroup)findViewById(R.id.radioGroup1);
            RadioButton answer=(RadioButton)findViewById(grp.getCheckedRadioButtonId());
            if(currentQ.getANSWER().equals(answer.getText()))
            {
                score++;
            }
                currentQ=quesList.get(qid);
                setQuestionView();
                if(qid<5)
                {
                    currentQ=quesList.get(qid);
                    setQuestionView();
                }
                else
                {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(QuizActivity.this, ResultActivity.class);
                    Bundle b = new Bundle();
                    b.putInt("score", score); //Your score
                    intent.putExtras(b); //Put your score to your next Intent
                    startActivity(intent);
                    finish();
                }
        }

        });
}
private void setQuestionView()
{
    txtQuestion.setText(currentQ.getQUESTION());
    rda.setText(currentQ.getOPTA());
    rdb.setText(currentQ.getOPTB());
    rdc.setText(currentQ.getOPTC());
    qid++;
}

}

it pushes through to the ResultsActivity

public class ResultActivity extends Activity
{
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_result);
    //get rating bar object
    RatingBar bar=(RatingBar)findViewById(R.id.ratingBar1);
    //get text view
    TextView t=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textResult);
    //get score
    Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
    int score= b.getInt("score");
    //display score
    bar.setRating(score);
    switch (score)
    {
    case 1:
    case 2: t.setText("Oopsie! Better Luck Next Time!");
    break;
    case 3:
    case 4:t.setText("Hmmmm.. Someone's been reading a lot of trivia");
    break;
    case 5:t.setText("Who are you? A trivia wizard???");
    break;
    }
}
}

and here is the logcat errors

Solution

You are calling setQuestionView(); twice on your Button click as a result of which qid is increased by 2 each time you click the Button instead of 1

OTHER TIPS

Indices start from 0, so a List with 4 elements will have indices from 0 to 3. Accessing index 4 is out of bounds:

currentQ=quesList.get(qid);

you need to make sure qid is < 4, or more generally, < quesList.size().

Why you hit the limit after two questions is because you're incrementing qid twice for each question.
