Get Can't pass null for argument 'pathString' in child() error
I having some trouble with how to use a Button to access another activity with data from firebase. I'm just getting an error "Can't pass null for argument 'pathString' in child()". But when I try in another activity with OnItemClick on a listview item it works. Why is that?
What I'm trying to do is: I have a activity with a listview that stores and get data from firebase. What I want is, if I click on one of the items in that listview I want a new activity with buttons, and these buttons will get me to another activity with a listview that are related to the first activity (related data). So the activity with the buttons are the same activity for every listview items i click on, like just a "dummy" activity. Is this possible?
Here is the code:
lvjobbinfo works fine, but add doesn't. I want lvjobbinfo and add to do the same.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText etinfonavn;
ListView lvjobbinfo;
TextView tvjobbnavn;
Button add;
DatabaseReference databaseJOBBINFO;
List<Main> jobbinfo;
public static final String infonavn = "infonavn";
public static final String infoid = "infoid";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
databaseJOBBINFO = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("Jobbinfo");
lvjobbinfo = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.lvjobbinfo);
lvjobbinfo.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
Main main = jobbinfo.get(i);
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Notater.class);
intent.putExtra(infoid, main.getInfoId());
intent.putExtra(infonavn, main.getInfonavn());
startActivity(intent);
return true;
}
});
tvjobbnavn = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvjobbnavn);
etinfonavn = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etinfonavn) ;
add = (Button)findViewById(R.id.add);
add.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent add = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Notater.class);
startActivity(add);
}
});
Intent intent = getIntent();
jobbinfo = new ArrayList<>();
String id = intent.getStringExtra(Jobbliste.jobbId);
String navn = intent.getStringExtra(Jobbliste.jobbnavn);
tvjobbnavn.setText(navn);
databaseJOBBINFO = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Jobbinfo").child(id);
}
@Override

super.onStart();
databaseJOBBINFO.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

for (DataSnapshot infosnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {

final listMain infolistadapter = new listMain(MainActivity.this, jobbinfo);
lvjobbinfo.setAdapter(infolistadapter);

The error indicates that you're passingnull
into a call tochild
. The only place where I see that in the code you shared ischild(id)
, so it looks likeid
isnull
there. Run the code in a debugger and put a breakpoint on that line to see why that is.
