Null Pointer Exception in Layout

Question

I found Null Pointer Exception in my Layout file.

I am using ViewPager for whatever reason I found NullPointerException.

Following is xml code for layout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.mindsoulmatter.iaffirmme.ViewPagerParallax xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/viewpager"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#70000000"
    android:paddingBottom="2dp"
    android:textColor="#D7D6D6" >

    <android.support.v4.view.PagerTitleStrip
        android:id="@+id/__Weekly_pager_title_strip"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="top"
        android:background="#70000000"
        android:paddingTop="18dp"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:textSize="26sp" />

    <View
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="1dp"
        android:background="#ffffff" />

</com.mindsoulmatter.iaffirmme.ViewPagerParallax>

I got following error in graphical layout:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I can run the application but when I open this layout application get crashed.

This layout is called by using following fragment activity:

        fragments.add(Fragment.instantiate(this,

        }

        adapter = new Adapter_ViewPager(super.getSupportFragmentManager(),
                fragments, titles);

        pager = (ViewPagerParallax) super.findViewById(R.id.viewpager);

        pager.set_max_pages(3);
        PagerTitleStrip _Title = (PagerTitleStrip) findViewById(R.id.__Weekly_pager_title_strip);
        Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(),

        for (int counter = 0; counter < _Title.getChildCount(); counter++) {

            if (_Title.getChildAt(counter) instanceof TextView) {
                ((TextView) _Title.getChildAt(counter)).setTypeface(font);
            }
        }

        int x = (int) (Math.random() * ((4) + 1));
        pager.setBackgroundAsset(arr[x]);
        // pager.setPageTransformer(true, new ZoomOutPageTransformer());

        pager.setAdapter(adapter);
        pager.setOffscreenPageLimit(1);

        pager.setCurrentItem(1);

    }

    // private BroadcastReceiver broadcastCoverReceiverpara = new
    // BroadcastReceiver() {
    // @Override
    // public void onReceive(Context context, Intent serviceIntent) {
    // pager.setBackgroundAsset(serviceIntent.getStringExtra( "coverpara"));

    // }
    // };

    @Override
    public void finish() {
        super.finish();
        overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_right, R.anim.slide_out_right);
    }
}

I get error when pager.setBackgroundAsset(arr[x]) is called.

can any body please help me?

I found solution.

There was a problem with images itself.

Some of the images are itself broken.

Thanks for the time guys.

Looks like

int x = (int) (Math.random() * ((4) + 1));

is giving you bad id of the array

Custom View can detect if they are run inside the Layout Editor (within a developer tool) with this method:

View.isInEditMode()

Apparently, the ViewPagerParallax View isn't, and therefore is using illegal method inside the Layout Editor.
