The reason why is that the widgets don't exist yet. The findViewById() method walks the tree of Views (widgets and layouts) that make up the activity. However, those aren't determined until after setContentView() is called. Before setContentView(), the activity has no Views, and so findViewById() will return null. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Warescription: All titles, revisions, & ebook formats, just $35/year --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
