Error Search View in Custom Adapter

Question

Hello, I’m having a hell of a doubt how to put a search view on a custom Adapter.. I’ve been trying for days and I can’t. This following code that I am using is giving error when starting, I followed several identical tutorials but mine will not. When I use the " setupSearchView();" the app does not open, and gives the following error in the log "java.lang.Nullpointerexception: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.widget.Searchview.setIconifiedByDefault(Boolean)' on a null Object Reference"

Activity Mediaball.

Answer 1

Invert these lines in onCreate:

setupSearchView();

mSearchView=(SearchView) findViewById(R.id.search15);

Thus remaining:

mSearchView=(SearchView) findViewById(R.id.search15);      

setupSearchView();

Because you are trying to use a Searchview method before it is initialized, so the null error Object Reference.
