I'm having a problem with populating my spinner with days of the week.

layout xml:

<Spinner 
    android:id="@+id/week_spinner"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"/>

strings.xml

<resources>
  <string-array name="days_of_week">
    <item>Monday</item>
    <item>Tuesday</item>
    <item>Wednesday</item>
    <item>Thursday</item>
    <item>Friday</item>
  </string-array>
</resources>

java:

public class AddModule extends Activity {
    Spinner day;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        day = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.week_spinner);

        ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.days_of_week, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        day.setAdapter(adapter);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_add_module);
    }
}

It's the setAdapter line that's causing the app to crash. I'm getting the following errors

This was working fine yesterday. I can't figure out if I maybe changed something or if I have an eclipse problem.

Nambari 解释了您收到 NullPointerException 的原因以及如何正确使用findViewById().

我想指出一种更简单的方法来设置使用默认设置的 Spinner，只需将其添加到您的 XML 中：

android:entries="@array/days_of_week"

您可以删除所有对您的适配器的引用onCreate()。

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(yourView);
day = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.week_spinner);

在从 xml 获取微调器之前，您忘记设置视图。如果您不设置视图，则findViewById返回null.

对引用的任何操作都会null导致NullPointerException.
