Please help me. Whats wrong with the code. The app crashes and I get msg as "app has unfortunately stopped"
package com.example.saurabhb.gettingcolor;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.RadioButton;
import android.widget.RadioGroup;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class AskColorMainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private RadioGroup mainRadioGroup;
private RadioButton radioButtonForRed;
private Button nextButton;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_ask_color_main);
radioButtonForRed = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.radioButtonForRed);
nextButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.nextButton);
nextButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
int forGettingId = mainRadioGroup.getCheckedRadioButtonId();
radioButtonForRed = (RadioButton) findViewById(forGettingId);
String forIntent = radioButtonForRed.getText().toString();
Toast.makeText(AskColorMainActivity.this, forIntent, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Intent intent = new Intent(AskColorMainActivity.this, AboutTheColor.class);
intent.putExtra("colour", forIntent);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
on next activity:
package com.example.saurabhb.gettingcolor;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class AboutTheColor extends ActionBarActivity {
private TextView pageTwoText;
private String lastTimeIntent;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_about_the_color);
nextButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.nextButton);
Intent intent = getIntent();
lastTimeIntent = intent.getStringExtra("colour");
pageTwoText.setText("Hello");
}
}

18,106 PointsHi Saurabh
Just a heads up, it may be better if you can try and explain where exactly the fault occurs, just so we know where to look.
I can see three faults:-
- in your onClick() method of the class AskColorMainActivity you have declared your radioButtonforRed again which is not needed (wont cause the crash though)
-Both classes extend ActionBarActivity but they are not using the menu(s) so it may be better to extend Activity (Just so people know which methods to expect, again wont cause the crash)
- The line pageTwoText.setText("Hello"); in the AboutTheColor class will cause an error as you haven't defined it anywhere you need to link it to the view in your XML file (I don't know if you code gets this far though).
Hope this helps
Daniel

28,738 PointsIn addition to the problems mentioned above, you also are probably getting a NullPointerException on the line
int forGettingId = mainRadioGroup.getCheckedRadioButtonId();
This is because you never initialize mainRadioGroup, yet its called in the onClick method. You should initialize it at the same time(and in the same manner) as radioButtonForRed and nextButton.
