I know getView()
might return null inside onCreateView()
method, but even if I put the below code inside onActivityCreated()
, onStart()
or onViewCreated()
methods, it still shows the warning about a possible NullPointerException
in Android Studio (although my program runs without any issue). How to get rid of this warning?
I am using Fragments.
Code:
datpurchased = (EditText) getView().findViewById(R.id.datepurchased);
//datpurchased defined as instance variable in the class
Warning:
Method invocation 'getView().findViewById(R.id.datepurchased)' may produce 'java.lang.NullPointerException'
Android Studio is based on IntelliJ IDEA, and this is a feature of IntelliJ that gives you warnings at compile time when you are not checking if an object returned by a method is null
before using it.
One way to avoid this is program in the style that always checks for null
or catches NullPointerException
, but it can get very verbose, especially for things you know will always return an object and never null
.
Another alternative is to suppress the warnings on such cases using annotations such as @SuppressWarnings
for methods that use objects you know can never be null:
@SuppressWarnings({"NullableProblems"})
public Object myMethod(Object isNeverNull){
return isNeverNull.classMethod();
}
or, in your case, a line-level suppression:
//noinspection NullableProblems
datpurchased = (EditText) getView().findViewById(R.id.datepurchased); //datpurchased defined as instance variable in the class
Be sure that the objects really can never be null, though.
More information on IntelliJ's @NotNull and @Nullable annotations can be found here, and more about inspections and supressing them here.
