I have a mainActivity which has a button named monitoring. When I press the button it should show the nearby beacons. When I press the button an error shows up which say's my application stopped working. Here is the code of the button activity:
public class MonitoringBeacons extends AppCompatActivity {
private ProximityManagerContract proximityManager;
ListAdapter beaconsAdapter;
ListView listView;
List<String> beaconsList = new ArrayList<String>();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_monitoring_beacons);
KontaktSDK.initialize("kasjdhioasjkdoasdjo");
proximityManager = new ProximityManager(this);
proximityManager.setEddystoneListener(createEddystoneListener());
setAdapter();
listView.setOnItemClickListener(
new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id) {
String beacon = String.valueOf(adapterView.getItemAtPosition(position));
Toast.makeText(MonitoringBeacons.this, beacon, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
);
}
protected void setAdapter() {
if(beaconsList.isEmpty()) {
Toast.makeText(MonitoringBeacons.this, "No beacons found", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return ;
}
beaconsAdapter = new CustomListAdapter(this, beaconsList);
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
listView.setAdapter(beaconsAdapter);
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
startScanning();
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
proximityManager.stopScanning();
super.onStop();
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
proximityManager.disconnect();
proximityManager = null;
super.onDestroy();
}
private void startScanning() {
proximityManager.connect(new OnServiceReadyListener() {
@Override
public void onServiceReady() {
proximityManager.startScanning();
}
});
}
private EddystoneListener createEddystoneListener() {
return new SimpleEddystoneListener() {
@Override
public void onEddystoneDiscovered(IEddystoneDevice eddystone, IEddystoneNamespace namespace) {
beaconsList.add(eddystone.getUniqueId());
setAdapter();
}
@Override
public void onEddystoneLost(IEddystoneDevice eddystone, IEddystoneNamespace namespace) {
beaconsList.remove(eddystone.getUniqueId());
setAdapter();
}
};
}
}
and the code of CustomListAdapter:
public class CustomListAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private List<String> beaconsList;
private Activity activity;
private LayoutInflater inflater;
public CustomListAdapter(Activity activity, List<String> beaconsList) {
this.activity = activity;
this.beaconsList = beaconsList;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return beaconsList.size();
}
@Override
public Object getItem(int location) {
return beaconsList.get(location);
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
if (inflater == null)
inflater = (LayoutInflater) activity
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
if (convertView == null)
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_row, null);
String singleBeaconItem = String.valueOf(getItem(position));
TextView beaconText = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.BeaconText);
ImageView beaconImage = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.BeaconImage);
beaconText.setText(singleBeaconItem);
beaconImage.setImageResource(R.drawable.tough_beacon_1);
return convertView;
}
}
Ideally when I press the button the nearby beacons should be appeared as a list, and when a beacon is discovered or lost the list should automaticaly be updated.

Any idea?
The stacktrace explains what is happening.
When this line of code executes:
listView.setOnItemClickListener(...
The listView has not yet been initialized, so it is null. This causes a NullPointerException.
That variable is initialized in the setAdapter() method, but it may not be because the method exits early if beaconsList.isEmpty() evaluates to true.
The simple solution is to move the code that initializes listView to top of that method.
