LogCat Error: java.lang.illegalstateexception could not execute method of the activity

Hi I am new to Android Development. I have created this activity it seems like every time I click on one of the buttons in this activity. I Keep getting the Could not execute Method of the Activity LogCat error.

Here is my Activity Java File

public class Add_Edit_Cows extends Activity  {

    Button cradd, credit, crdelete, crview;
EditText cowids, sire, dam, months, dates, years;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_add__edit__cows);
    cradd = (Button) findViewById(R.id.addcow);
    cowids = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.cowid);
    sire = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.sire);
    dam = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.dam);
    months = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.DOBM);
    dates = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.DOBd);
    years = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.DOBy);


    credit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.editcow);
    crdelete = (Button) findViewById(R.id.removecow);
    crview = (Button) findViewById(R.id.viewcows);
}
public void addcow (View view) {
    Cowsdatabase cowsdb = new Cowsdatabase(this, null, null, 1);

    int Cown = Integer.parseInt(cowids.getText().toString());
    String Sire = sire.getText().toString();
    String Dam = dam.getText().toString();
    int Month = Integer.parseInt(months.getText().toString());
    int Date = Integer.parseInt(dates.getText().toString());
    int Year = Integer.parseInt(years.getText().toString());

    cow Cow = new cow(Integer.parseInt(cowids.getText().toString()), Sire, Dam, Month, Date, Year);
    cowsdb.addcow(Cow);
    cowids.setText("");
    sire.setText("");
    dam.setText("");
    months.setText("");
    dates.setText("");
    years.setText("");
}

public void editcow(View view) {
    Cowsdatabase cowsdb = new Cowsdatabase(this, null, null, 1);

    cow Cow =
            cowsdb.findcow(Integer.parseInt(cowids.getText().toString()));
    if (Cow != null) {
        sire.setText(String.valueOf(Cow.getSire()));
        dam.setText(String.valueOf(Cow.getDam()));
        months.setText(String.valueOf(Cow.getMonth()));
        dates.setText(String.valueOf(Cow.getDate()));
        years.setText(String.valueOf(Cow.getYear()));
    } else {
        cowids.setText("No Match Found");
    }
    }
public void dcow (View view) {
    Cowsdatabase cowsdb = new Cowsdatabase(this, null, null, 1);
    boolean result = cowsdb.deleteCow(Integer.parseInt(cowids.getText().toString()));
    if (result)
    {
        cowids.setText("Record Deleted");
        sire.setText("");
        dam.setText("");
        months.setText("");
        dates.setText("");
        years.setText("");
    }
    else
        cowids.setText("No Match Found");
}
public void viewcow (View view){
startActivity(new Intent("Ag.Access.Viewcows"));
}
}

    if (rowsDeleted > 0)

    return result;
}
 }

For the cradd button I want it add the values from the edittexts to my database which in turn is received by my Content Provider For the credit button I want to be able to edit the cows in the Database. For the crdelete button I want to be able delete that database entry. For the Crview i want it to take to another activity to be able to view the content Provider.

Like I said earlier all thoughs buttons are coming up with the "could not execute method of the activity" LOGCAT error.

Your Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Solution

  • The error is coming from Cowsdatabase.java on line 64.

    I presume it's somewhere in this block:

    int Cown = Integer.parseInt(cowids.getText().toString());
String Sire = sire.getText().toString();
String Dam = dam.getText().toString();
int Month = Integer.parseInt(months.getText().toString());
int Date = Integer.parseInt(dates.getText().toString());
int Year = Integer.parseInt(years.getText().toString());

    Because it's a NullPointerException, we can make the assumption that one of the variable.getText() executions returns null. If this is true, the following toString() would trigger the exception.

    Using a debugger would make this very clear.
