i am Newbie and i am receiving errors and i don´t know why D:

When i press Button my app crashes. Here my code:

I tried different versions of countdowns and no one runs D: Thanks...

MainActivity

    package com.example.chrontest;

    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.view.Menu;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
    import android.widget.Button;

    public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


    Button Start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    Start.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Jungle CuentaAtras = new Jungle(6000, 1000);
            CuentaAtras.start();
        }});


    }
}

Jungle.class

    package com.example.chrontest;

    import android.os.CountDownTimer;
    import android.widget.TextView;

    public class Jungle extends CountDownTimer{

    TextView Texto = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);

    public Jungle(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
        super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    private TextView findViewById(int textview1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onFinish() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Texto.setText("GAME OVER");
    }

    @Override
    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
        Texto.setText ("" + millisUntilFinished / 1000);

    }
 }

And here my LogCat:

UPDATED:

Lol i don´t put my layout, and.. today i see that i don´t have a view or anything to see my countdown, or just this will appear in the screen, lol i don´t know :|

This is my layout:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_marginBottom="34dp"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:text="Button" />

</RelativeLayout>

Solution

  • Your jungle class is not an activity class. So you cannot get the

    TextView Texto = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1); here and use it

    What you should do is calculate the countdown and give a callback to your activity class. There you should set the TextView

    UPDATE

    package com.example.chrontest;
    
    import android.os.CountDownTimer;
    import android.widget.TextView;
    
    public class Jungle extends CountDownTimer{
    
    Context mContext;
    
    public Jungle(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval, Context context) {
    super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
    mContext = context;
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onFinish() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    mcontext.MethodToSetText("YourText");
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
         mcontext.MethodToSetText("" + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
    
    }
    
    }
    

    And call

    Jungle CuentaAtras = new Jungle(6000, 1000, this);
