*** Update: by adding another variable as XmlLayoutBuilder within Activity_CreateMenu, the program compiles and runs ok.
Solved, sort of.
here was my original post:
This error cropped up while I was using corwin42's handy AppCompat toolbar
It was working fine, then started getting NullPointerException error.
I tried many things, and basically commented out just about everything in Activity_CreateMenu, and started putting things back one at a time.
It was working, and I didn't change any libraries or code for the toolbar. I might have goofed up something else, and even tried going back to the Designer, deleted and re-added the Toolbar.
Just asking if this is an error caused by me, or if you can tell from the log if there is something I can't fix in my own code...
Solved, sort of.
B4X:
Sub Activity_CreateMenu(menu As ACMenu)
' For this sub to work, make sure to include the If Java block for AC CreateOptionsMenu
Log("Activity_CreateMenu")
'ToolBar.InitMenuListener
menu.Clear
Log("adding menu items")
Dim item As ACMenuItem
Log("item as ACMenuItem created")
Dim zz As XmlLayoutBuilder ' <----- HERE IS NEW VARIABLE THAT WORKS
menu.Add2(10,4,"Add Item",zz.GetDrawable("ic_add_white_24dp")).ShowAsAction = item.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS
