Android Application Crashel

Question

hello everyone, i am trying to run an application on an android emulator, but it crashes. i am following a howto

i don't know what to do, it just crashes. other applications are running fine, can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong.here is the code:

public class Finder extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
 private LocationManager myLocationManager;
 private LocationListener myLocationListener;
 private TextView myLatitude, myLongitude;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    myLatitude = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.Latitude);
    myLongitude = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.Longitude);


    myLocationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    myLocationListener = new MyLocationListener();
    myLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,0,0,myLocationListener);
    myLatitude.setText(String.valueOf(
        myLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(
          LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER).getLatitude()));

      myLongitude.setText(String.valueOf(
       myLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(
         LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER).getLongitude()));
}
private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener{

 public void onLocationChanged(Location argLocation) {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 myLatitude.setText(String.valueOf(
   argLocation.getLatitude()));
 myLongitude.setText(String.valueOf(
   argLocation.getLongitude()));
 }

 public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 }

 public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 }

 public void onStatusChanged(String provider,
  int status, Bundle extras) {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 }
 };

}

i looked in the logcat after running the application, it seems that the following lines are cause of the problem but i don't understand it:(

Answer 1

Your argLocation is null or methods return null. Put debug point in there and check values.

Answer 2

Did you remember to add the activity to your manifest?

Answer 3

Isn't it clear from your log ?

01-18 22:12:46.037: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1091):     at pro.googleLocation.Finder.onCreate(Finder.java:28)

whatever it's on line 28 is throwing a NullPointerException, find that line, find the problem.

Answer 4

ok, so i found the solution:) i was forgetting to pass gps coordinates to the emulator,did that and worked perfectly:)
