2,328 PointsI am getting error "Attempt to get length of null array"
public class Main2Activity extends ListActivity { private Day[]mDays; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2); Intent intent = getIntent();
Parcelable[] parcebles= intent.getParcelableArrayExtra(MainActivity.DAILY_FORCAST);
mDays = Arrays.copyOf(parcebles,parcebles.length,Day[].class);//Day it shows us what type of array we are going to use
DayAdapter dayAdapter = new DayAdapter(this,mDays);
setListAdapter(dayAdapter);
}
}
when i run this Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to get length of null array at com.csing1s.stormy.ui.Main2Activity.onCreate(Main2Activity.java:26) at android.app.Activity.performCreate(Activity.java:5958) at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(Instrumentation.java:1129) at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2364) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2474) at android.app.ActivityThread.access$800(ActivityThread.java:144) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1359) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:155) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5696) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:372)

private Forecast parseForecastData(String jsonData) throws JSONException{
Forecast forecast = new Forecast();
forecast.setCurrent(getCurrentDetails(jsonData));
forecast.setDailyForecast(getDailyForecast(jsonData));
//forecast.setHourlyForecast(getHourlyForecast(jsonData));
return forecast;
}
After that you would be fine. This error is indicating that the array you've passed as a parameter is null.

Make sure you set the daily forecast in MainActivity parseForecastDetails
forecast.setDailyForecast(getDailyForecast(jsonData));
