I asked a similar question earlier but i don't understand what to do, I also have read other solutions like: What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it? I still don't know what to do, please help:
According to what I understand is that my context = null;
and I am not sure why, and how to fix it...
I wrote a UniversImageLoader.class to be able to load images over several activities. Now I have initiated it in all my activities, but in my UIL class, I need to pass a context.
public class UniversalImageLoader {
private static final int defaultImage = R.drawable.ic_android;
private Context mContext;
public UniversalImageLoader(Context context) {
mContext = context;
}
public ImageLoaderConfiguration getConfig(){
//File cacheDir = StorageUtils.getCacheDirectory(mContext);
ImageLoaderConfiguration config = new ImageLoaderConfiguration.Builder(mContext)//<--the error is in this line
.memoryCacheExtraOptions(480, 800) // default = device screen dimensions
.diskCacheExtraOptions(480, 800, null)
.threadPriority(Thread.NORM_PRIORITY - 2) // default
.tasksProcessingOrder(QueueProcessingType.FIFO) // default
.denyCacheImageMultipleSizesInMemory()
.memoryCache(new LruMemoryCache(2 * 1024 * 1024))
.memoryCacheSize(2 * 1024 * 1024)
.memoryCacheSizePercentage(13) // default
.diskCacheSize(50 * 1024 * 1024)
.diskCacheFileCount(100)
.diskCacheFileNameGenerator(new HashCodeFileNameGenerator()) // default
.imageDownloader(new BaseImageDownloader(mContext)) // default
.defaultDisplayImageOptions(DisplayImageOptions.createSimple()) // default
.writeDebugLogs()
.build();
return config;
}
in HomeActivity:[in every Activity I call it like this]
private void initImageLoader(){
UniversalImageLoader universalImageLoader = new UniversalImageLoader(mContext);
ImageLoader.getInstance().init(universalImageLoader.getConfig());
}
and in all those activities I call it in the OnCreate method like this:
initImageLoader();
So I have read up, looked at other solutions but can't find an understandable answer...your guidance will be highly appreciated!
