I seem not to be able to load a JSON object into a ListView. When the code reaches the line list.setAdaptor(..) I get an InvocationTargetException.
Step by step debugging I think the JSON object is initialized perfectly fine. The HashMap is filled correctly. I think the problem is with my ArrayAdaptor but I don't know what is going wrong.
I'm new to Android and this is my first time dealing with Adaptors and AsyncTask and JSON. So I will be so thankful for any help. Even if you think you are stating the obvious please don't hesitate to mention whatever it is you think I am approaching the wrong way.
Here is the code to my child activity in which I am trying to populate the ListView using the JSONObject:
(if you think any other part of the code is needed please comment. I will add it right away)
public class SearchResultListActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements OnItemClickListener{
// for json

Here is the LogCat error. (when I debug I get InvocationTargetException, and LogCat gives me NullPointerException. I don't now why they differ :S)

ListView belongs to the Fragment Layout while you initialize it in AsyncTask invoked from Activity's onCreate.
You either initialize listview in Fragment or set the fragment layout to the Activity.
I would suggest you initialize listview in Fragment. To get the context use getActivity().
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_search_result_list, container, false);
list=(ListView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.listViewSearchResult);
new JSONParse(getActivity()).execute();
return rootView;
}
Then
Context mContext;
public JSONParse(Context context)
{
mContext= context;
}
Then
new SimpleAdapter(mContext...
