Nullpointerexception

[calmchess]

I'm trying to use a text field that resides in a method that is being called from an external class everything gets called fine and data arrives but the text field is nullpointer exception....somehow its supposed to be global to all the functions but somehow it loses scope.....How do i use a text field when the function has been called from external class?

Can you post the relevant bits of code?

There are several things that could be happening:

1) Scope issues (maybe the variable isn't really globally available)
2) Threading problems: updates have to run on the UI thread, so if you're trying to change things from other threads you'll have problems.
3) A simple typo in findViewById().

I solved this with a simple return statement witch returns the needed data from the SAX class instead of trying to pass it around through class refrece variables not qutie sure what to call it.
