I am creating app in which i am displaying data in custom ListView......the data is coming from XMLHandler. but, when i scroll the list it gives null pointer error.....

There are six items coming from xmlHandler at a time only 3 items are displayed on the screen....but, when i scroll getView() is supposed to be called for remaining 3 items.....but, it it called for one more item....hence it gives null pointer......i dont know what to do...kindly help me..... Thank you in adv.

*Sorry i forgot add getview() in my question but it is there in my actual code. i have edited my code...pls review this code......***

Answer 1

I have solved the problem, which was in xml handler not this code but thank you for your efforts!

Answer 2

You need to override the getView() method of ArrayAdapter and place this code inside.

public View getView(){  
if (rowView == null) {
            // Get a new instance of the row layout view
            LayoutInflater inflater = activity.getLayoutInflater();
            rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.route_list_item, null);
            Log.v("Log position", "2");

            // Hold the view objects in an object,
            // so they don't need to be re-fetched
            hsView = new RouteSearchView();
            hsView.routeSVname = (TextView) rowView
                    .findViewById(R.id.routeName);
            hsView.routeSVtravelsName = (TextView) rowView
                    .findViewById(R.id.travelsName);
            hsView.routeSVbusType = (TextView) rowView
                    .findViewById(R.id.busType);
            hsView.routeSVdepTime = (TextView) rowView
                    .findViewById(R.id.depTime);
            hsView.routeSVarrTime = (TextView) rowView
                    .findViewById(R.id.arrTime);
            hsView.routeSVseatsAvail = (TextView) rowView
                    .findViewById(R.id.seatsAvail);
            hsView.routeSVsellFare = (TextView) rowView
                    .findViewById(R.id.sellFare);
            hsView.routeSVcmdCheck = (Button) rowView
                    .findViewById(R.id.cmdCheck);
            // Cache the view objects in the tag,
            // so they can be re-accessed later
            Log.v("Log position", "3");
            rowView.setTag(hsView);

        } else {
            hsView = (RouteSearchView) rowView.getTag();
        }
        // Transfer the stock data from the data object
        // to the view objects
        searchBus = listBusGS.get(position);

            routeID = searchBus.getRoute_id().toString();
            routeName = searchBus.getService_name().toString();
            travelsName = searchBus.getTravels_name().toString();
            busType = searchBus.getBus_type().toString();
            depTime = searchBus.getDeparture_time().toString();
            arrTime = searchBus.getArival_time().toString();
            seatsAvail = searchBus.getSeats_available().toString();
            sellFare = searchBus.getSell_fare().toString();

            hsView.routeSVname.setText(routeName);
            hsView.routeSVtravelsName.setText(travelsName);
            hsView.routeSVbusType.setText(busType);
            hsView.routeSVdepTime.setText(depTime);
            hsView.routeSVarrTime.setText(arrTime);
            hsView.routeSVseatsAvail.setText(seatsAvail);
            hsView.routeSVsellFare.setText(sellFare);


        }

        return rowView;
    }

Something along those lines.

Answer 3

The ArrayAdapter constructor does not return Views. You should implement getView() to return the View to be placed in a specific row in ListView.
