Hi,

I want to add an ImageView to my layout when a button has been
pressed. Sadly, I cannot get a handle to the main application's
linearlayout, I always get a null pointer error when trying to
retrieve the layout using findViewByID.

Here's the code that ought to display the image when button b has been
pressed, but I think I have missed something obious:

package com.foo.bar;

import android.app.*;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.*;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.*;
import android.content.*;
import android.util.Log;


public class AndroidTest extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

     // assign flag.png to the button, loading correct flag image for
current locale
        Button b;
        b = (Button)findViewById
(R.id.flag_button) ;//.setBackgroundDrawable(this.getResources
().getDrawable(R.drawable.developers));

        // build dialog box to display when user clicks the flag
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
        builder.setMessage(R.string.dialog_text)
            .setCancelable(false)
            .setTitle(R.string.dialog_title)
            .setPositiveButton("Done", new
DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                dialog.dismiss();
                }
            });
        final AlertDialog alert = builder.create();

        // set click listener on the flag to show the dialog box
        b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // alert.show();
                ImageView image;
                image = new ImageView(v.getContext());
                image.setImageDrawable(v.getResources().getDrawable
(R.drawable.developers));


                LinearLayout main = (LinearLayout)
AndroidTest.this.findViewById(R.layout.main);
                // some debug code
                if (main == null)
                {
                        Log.v("abc", "Main is null");
                        }
                else
                {
                main.addView(image, 200, 200);
                }
            }
            });

    }
}
