on App Resume fragment Call Back Listener is Null

Question

In my Fragment i have his code for listener

 private  FragmentTwoCallBackListener fragmentTwoCallBackListener;

        public interface FragmentTwoCallBackListener {
            void onItemTypeClick(String itemType,String textInPunjabi);
        }

       public void onAdapterItemTypeClick(String textA, String textB){


            if(fragmentTwoCallBackListener == null)
                Log.w(TAG," fragmentTwoCallBackListener Null Error - ");
            else
                Log.w(TAG," fragmentTwoCallBackListener not Null - " );



            fragmentTwoCallBackListener.onItemTypeClick(textInEnglish,textInPunjabi);

        }

on normal usage the app is working fine. but when App is Resume I got this error

java.lang.NullPointerException: at com.shayari4u.punjabistatus.FragmentTwo.onAdapterItemTypeClick (FragmentTwo.java:133) at com.shayari4u.punjabistatus.FragmentTwoAdapter$1.onClick (FragmentTwoAdapter.java:115)

after many Hit & Try I found that on App Resume the fragmentTwoCallBackListener object is null

Im using this fragment in TabbedLayout.

private void setupViewPager(ViewPager viewPager) {

        ViewPagerAdapter adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
        f1 = new FragmentOne();
        if (getIntent().hasExtra("type")) {   // PUT EXTRAS FOR FRAGMENT IF GET NOTIFICATION

            Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
            bundle.putString("post_type", getIntent().getStringExtra("type"));
            f1.setArguments(bundle);
           Log.w(TAG,"Tabbed Activety Get Notification for Post Type -   " +  getIntent().getStringExtra("type"));
        }

        showItemFragment = new FragmentTwo();
        showItemFragment.setFragmentTwoCallBackListener(this);
        adapter.addFragment(showItemFragment, "Category");
        adapter.addFragment(f1, "Posts");

        if(adapter==null){
            Log.w("Tabbed","Adapter is blank");
        }{
            viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);

        }

    }

How to solve this problem plz help

Have you implemented your listener? Did you try to use `new FragmentTwoCallBackListener()` instead of `this`, that is implement it as anonymous class — Gotiasits, Sep 11 '17 at 13:01

Under numerous circumstances, the Android framework will kill your app's process to save system resources. When this happens, your app is given a chance to save its state so that it can be restored when the user eventually navigates back to your app.

Anything that you don't store using this process will be lost.

Activities, Fragments, and Views all have some built-in capability to save their state when this happens. Often this is a good thing, but here it is going to make your life harder. When the system destroys your app and recreates it, since the fragment manager will successfully save and restore your fragments, your setupViewPager() method won't be called again.

Since your fragment doesn't have a way to save its FragmentTwoCallBackListener, and since setupViewPager() won't be called again to re-set it, it will be null when this happens.

One way to solve this is to change how your FragmentTwoCallBackListener instance is obtained. Perhaps rather than using a setter, you could do something like this in your fragment:

@Override
public void onAttach (Context context) {
    super.onAttach(context);
    if (context instanceof FragmentTwoCallBackListener) {
        fragmentTwoCallBackListener = (FragmentTwoCallBackListener) context;
    }
}

Thanks @Ben this solve the NullPointException. but now i have another problem with my Second fragment. On App Resume in my Second fragment **ProgressDialoge** and **Context** is Null — Verinder, Sep 13 '17 at 10:54
