I am currently working on an Android studio app. I added a button that opens a dialog in which I need to display the weather of the users city. Right now I am having a lot of trouble doing this. For example, an error like this has appeared and I know this question has already been answerd but I still have alot of issues with it.
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int java.lang.String.length()' on a null object reference
Apart from this, do I need to do something else to make it work?
This is the code I have:
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback, LocationListener {
private GoogleMap mMap;
LocationManager locationManager;
String provider;
LatLng myPosition;
TextView climaText;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
climaText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.climaText);
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), false);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 400, 1, this);
/* locationRequest = new LocationRequest();
//locationRequest.setInterval(7500);
//locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000);
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);*/
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
/**
* Manipulates the map once available.
* This callback is triggered when the map is ready to be used.
* This is where we can add markers or lines, add listeners or move the camera. In this case,
* we just add a marker near Sydney, Australia.
* If Google Play services is not installed on the device, the user will be prompted to install
* it inside the SupportMapFragment. This method will only be triggered once the user has
* installed Google Play services and returned to the app.

And my dialog for the weather only has a text view.
