How to use Kotlin Android Extensions with Fragment
s?
If I use them inside onCreateView()
, I get this NullPointerException
exception:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.view.View android.view.View.findViewById(int)' on a null object reference
Here is the fragment code:
package com.obaied.testrun.Fragment
import android.os.Bundle
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment
import android.util.Log
import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.view.View
import android.view.ViewGroup
import com.obaied.acaan.R
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.fragment_card_selector.*
public class CardSelectorFragment : Fragment() {
val TAG = javaClass.canonicalName
companion object {
fun newInstance(): CardSelectorFragment {
return CardSelectorFragment()
}
}
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
var rootView = inflater?.inflate(R.layout.fragment_card_selector, container, false)
btn_K.setOnClickListener { Log.d(TAG, "onViewCreated(): hello world"); }
return rootView
}
}
`
Kotlin synthetic properties are not magic and work in a very simple way. When you access btn_K
, it calls for getView().findViewById(R.id.btn_K)
.
The problem is that you are accessing it too soon. getView()
returns null
in onCreateView
. Try doing it in the onViewCreated
method:
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
btn_K.setOnClickListener { Log.d(TAG, "onViewCreated(): hello world"); }
}
