Question

I have already posted here yesterday about this app, this activity is very like the one i posted, but still i have an error, and i don't know how to solve it. The problem is that when i open the app and choose the Velocity from the menu, it's forced close.

Velocity.java:

package com.bben.physics;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class Velocity extends Activity {

EditText X0, X1, T0, T1;
Button VeloB;
TextView VeloResult;
double dX, dT, velo;

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

    X0 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.X0);
    X1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.X1);
    T0 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.T0);
    T1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.T1);
    VeloB = (Button) findViewById(R.id.VeloB);
    VeloResult = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.VeloResult);

    if (VeloB == null) {
        System.out.println("VeloB = null");
    } else {
        VeloB.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                dX = (Double.parseDouble(X0.getText().toString()))
                        -  (Double.parseDouble(X1.getText().toString()));
                dT = (Double.parseDouble(T0.getText().toString()))
                        - (Double.parseDouble(T1.getText().toString()));
                velo = dX / dT;
                VeloResult.setText(Double.toString(velo));
            }
        });
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.acceleration, menu);
    return true;
}

}

Solution 2

Indeed, as Greg has said in his answer, findViewById returns null. This might have happend because the XML you posted here is not the one you're referring to in your code:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_acceleration);

You should probably replace activity_acceleration with activity_velocity.

OTHER TIPS

This is your problem:

09-19 02:41:50.022: E/AndroidRuntime(26165): Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
09-19 02:41:50.022: E/AndroidRuntime(26165):    at com.bben.physics.Velocity.onCreate(Velocity.java:25)

Line 25 of your source appears to be:

VeloCalcB.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

It appears that VeloCalcB is likely null. I see that your initialize() method attempts to set VeloCalcB to something, but you will want to make sure that's not returning null.
