Android应用无法启动活动组件信息

时间:2011-08-01 15:07:01

标签: android android-activity runtime-error

我是一名新的Android程序员,最近,我的很多项目都收到了这个错误:

07-31 23:45:19.592: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(716): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start     

activity ComponentInfo{com.amrit.musifind/com.amrit.musifind.Main}: 

java.lang.NullPointerException

有人可以帮我解决这个问题吗?

这是整个logcat堆栈跟踪:

非常感谢任何帮助,如果没有解决这个问题,我无法测试我的应用程序!

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:27)

您的空指针异常似乎在这一行:

String url = intent.getExtras().getString("userurl");

因为intent.getExtras()在intent没有任何额外内容时返回null。

你必须意识到这段代码:

Intent Main = new Intent(this, ToClass.class);
Main.putExtra("userurl", url);
startActivity(Main);

不会启动您在Main.java中编写的活动,它会尝试启动名为ToClass的活动,如果该活动不存在,您的应用会崩溃。

此外,没有"android.intent.action.start"这样的东西,所以清单看起来应该更像:

<activity android:name=".start" android:label="@string/app_name">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name= ".Main">
</activity>

我希望这可以解决您遇到的一些问题,但我强烈建议您查看一些“入门”教程以进行Android开发并从那里进行构建。

答案 1 :(得分:1)

问题已经得到解答,但是我想添加更多有关原因的信息。

  

Android应用无法启动活动componentinfo

该错误通常与相应的日志一起出现。您可以阅读日志并轻松解决此问题。

这是示例日志。您可以在其中清楚地看到ClassCastException。之所以出现此问题是因为无法将TextView强制转换为EditText

  

原因:java.lang.ClassCastException:android.widget.TextView   无法转换为android.widget.EditText

一些常见的错误。

1。findViewById()不存在的视图

就像您在布局XML中不存在按钮ID时使用findViewById(R.id.button)一样。

2。错误的投放。

如果您错误地进行了某些授课,则会收到此错误。就像您将RelativeLayout投射到LinearLayoutEditText投射到TextView一样。

3。未在manifest.xml

中注册的活动

如果您没有在manifest.xml中注册“活动”,则会出现此错误。

4。 findViewById(),并在顶层进行声明

以下代码不正确。这将产生错误。因为您应该在调用findViewById()之后执行setContentView()。因为创建视图后就可以在那里。

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

  ImageView mainImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageViewMain); //incorrect way

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    mainImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageViewMain); //correct way
    //...
  }
}

5。开始abstract活动类。

当您尝试启动一个抽象的活动时,将出现此错误。因此,只需在活动类别名称之前删除 abstract 关键字

6。使用kotlin但未配置kotlin。

如果您的活动是用Kotlin编写的,但尚未在应用程序中设置kotlin。那么你会得到错误。您可以按照Android LinkKotlin Link编写的简单步骤进行操作。您也可以检查this answer
