I won't beat around the bush here... I'm trying to put my GLSurfaceView (called ShapeSurfaceView) into a relative layout. Before trying to use a layout, everything has been working fine simply instantiating the view and calling setContentView(mShapeSurfaceView). Since I got this error I researched how to create the layout completing in the Java and that is working quite nicely... it's just a ton of code to setup the layout, view and rules for the view. I'd really rather have the XML method working.
Here's the main XML, I've added no other views yet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <com.maximusdev.tests3d.ShapeSurfaceView android:id="@+id/glview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" /> </RelativeLayout> The java from onCreate, nothing special... setContentView(R.layout.main); mShapeSurfaceView = (ShapeSurfaceView)findViewById(R.id.glview); Here is the logcat error. My previous logcat error was mentioning the class constructor missing the AttributeSet parameter so I added that to the constructor for the ShapeSurfaceView yet still ended up with this. 05-05 18:22:40.327: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.maximusdev.tests3d/com.maximusdev.tests3d.My3DTest}: java.lang.NullPointerException 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2401) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2417) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at android.app.ActivityThread.access$2100(ActivityThread.java:116) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1794) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4203) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit $MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:791) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:549) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at com.maximusdev.tests3d.My3DTest.onCreate(My3DTest.java:30) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(Instrumentation.java: 1123) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2364) 05-05 18:22:40.337: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(294): ... 11 more -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
