Error converting result java.lang.NullPointerException: lock == null


I am new to develop an android application. I have read a lot of related post regarding the question I was asking but the tips or solution from the post did not solve my problem. (Looking for the solution for a week already, really need help in order to proceed with my project) Thanks a lot...

Solution

  • Try call asynctask in onActivityCreated

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_searchresult_list, container, false);         
    
        return rootView;       
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    
        Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"Search result in listview",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    
        Intent intent = getActivity().getIntent();
        searchKey = intent.getStringExtra("message");
        //Toast.makeText(getActivity(), searchKey, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    
        //hshmap for listview
        customerList= new ArrayList>();
    
    
        //Loading customer in background thread
        new LoadCustomer().execute();
    
    }
