I am working with a simple application on android where at the moment i net to create a toolbar so i created a custom toolbar like this:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/my_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@color/colorPrimary">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="@color/white"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="@+id/toolbar_title"
/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
then i included this custom layout on my activity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.afcosta.inesctec.pt.android.FamilyLibrary">
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
app:srcCompat="@android:drawable/ic_menu_camera"
app:backgroundTint="#f1c40f"
tools:layout_constraintRight_creator="1"
tools:layout_constraintBottom_creator="1"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
android:layout_marginEnd="37dp"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="33dp" />
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/gallery"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="562dp"
tools:layout_constraintTop_creator="1"
tools:layout_constraintRight_creator="1"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
android:layout_marginTop="97dp"
tools:layout_constraintLeft_creator="1"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<include
layout="@layout/custom_toolbar"
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
tools:layout_constraintTop_creator="1"
tools:layout_constraintLeft_creator="1"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/textView3"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Familias"
android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1"
tools:layout_constraintBottom_creator="1"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/gallery"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
tools:layout_constraintLeft_creator="1"
android:layout_marginBottom="15dp"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
android:textSize="24dp"/>
when i try to setText on my activity for the TextView, i fails and i get this error: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.view.View android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar.findViewById(int)' on a null object reference
here is my code on the activity:
Toolbar myToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_toolbar);;
setSupportActionBar(myToolbar);
TextView toolbarText = (TextView) myToolbar.findViewById(R.id.toolbar_title);
toolbarText.setText("FamÃlias");
Any tip?
Thank you very much!
