An this is the code in onCreateMethod

 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_company_profile);
    BottomNavigationView navView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
    // Passing each menu ID as a set of Ids because each
    // menu should be considered as top level destinations.
    AppBarConfiguration appBarConfiguration = new AppBarConfiguration.Builder(
            R.id.navigation_home, R.id.navigation_dashboard, R.id.navigation_notifications)
            .build();
    NavController navController = Navigation.findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_fragment);
    NavigationUI.setupActionBarWithNavController(this, navController, appBarConfiguration);
    NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(navView, navController);
}

回答1:

If you aren't calling setSupportActionBar() and you are using a NoActionBar theme, then you don't have an ActionBar. setupActionBarWithNavController() assumes you have an ActionBar, hence the NullPointerException.

You should switch to a theme that provides an ActionBar or call setSupportActionBar() with a Toolbar in your layout before calling setupActionBarWithNavController().

回答2:

Navigation graph is searching for the default app bar and in case if you don't have a default action bar in your code then please remove the line.

NavigationUI.setupActionBarWithNavController(this, navController, appBarConfiguration);
