fragment.onCreateView causes null pointer exception

Question

So i am using fragments and trying to wire on click listeners on them.

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bun         


        

Answer 1

This line makes no sense:

startButton= (Button) getView().findViewById(R.id.button);

You don't have a View yet, you are still creating it..

In stead you can do this:

 startButton= (Button)contentView.findViewById(R.id.button);

Or wait until the onCreateView method returns the actual View you just created and then you will be able to get a reference of the view using the "getView" method after onCreateView returns the view..

Hope it Helps!

Regards!
