copied!<p>You need to call <code>setContentView()</code> in your <code>onCreate()</code> method before using <code>findViewById()</code>. Here is an example of doing this...</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // Set this to whatever your layout is setContentView(R.layout.main); // Now you can call the activity's findViewById() method... TextView nt = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.notify); } </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit</strong> Your <code>nt</code> variable is not in the same scope as your <code>addNotification()</code> method. Fix this by making it a class member or passing it into your <code>addNotification()</code> method.</p> <p>Also, to compare strings you should really be using <code>.equals()</code> not <code>==</code>. <code>==</code> checks to see if it is the same object whereas <code>.equals()</code> will match the text between two strings.</p> <p><strong>Edit (again)</strong></p> <p>I'm going to assume you already have <code>nt</code> at the class level there's no way this would compile if not. Judging by what you've said, it seems your problem stems from the fact that you're creating a separate <code>nt</code> variable in your <code>onCreate()</code>. Change your code to something like the following (I've stripped out the unimportant parts).</p> <pre><code>public class YourActivity extends Activity { private TextView nt; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); // Do not create a new instance, use the one you have... nt = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.notify); // Do whatever you were doing... } public void addNotification() { // This *should* work... if (nt.getText().equals("yes")) { // Do whatever you were doing... } else if (nt.getText().equals("no")) { // Do nothing... } } } </code></pre> <p>If this doesn't get you started then I'm not sure what the issue is. If this does not fix your problem you should post what you get from your <code>logcat</code>.</p>
