I am trying to make glsurfaceview a part of my layout. It returns an error at a line I am sure about and I don't understand why. My GLGame class:
public abstract class GLGame extends Activity implements Game, Renderer {
enum GLGameState {
Initialized,
Running,
Paused,
Finished,
Idle
}
GLSurfaceView glView;
GLGraphics glGraphics;
Audio audio;
Input input;
FileIO fileIO;
Screen screen;
GLGameState state = GLGameState.Initialized;
Object stateChanged = new Object();
long startTime = System.nanoTime();
WakeLock wakeLock;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
glView =(GLSurfaceView) this.findViewById (R.id.glSurface);
glView.setRenderer(this); //Failing line
setContentView(R.layout.main);
glGraphics = new GLGraphics(glView);
fileIO = new AndroidFileIO(getAssets());
audio = new AndroidAudio(this);
input = new AndroidInput(this, glView, 1, 1);
PowerManager powerManager = (PowerManager) getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
wakeLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK, "GLGame");
}
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
glView.onResume();
wakeLock.acquire();
}
@Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
glGraphics.setGL(gl);
synchronized(stateChanged) {
if(state == GLGameState.Initialized)
screen = getStartScreen();
state = GLGameState.Running;
screen.resume();
startTime = System.nanoTime();
}
}
@Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
}
@Override
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
GLGameState state = null;
synchronized(stateChanged) {
state = this.state;
}
if(state == GLGameState.Running) {
float deltaTime = (System.nanoTime()-startTime) / 1000000000.0f;
startTime = System.nanoTime();
screen.update(deltaTime);
screen.present(deltaTime);
}
if(state == GLGameState.Paused) {
screen.pause();
synchronized(stateChanged) {
this.state = GLGameState.Idle;
stateChanged.notifyAll();
}
}
if(state == GLGameState.Finished) {
screen.pause();
screen.dispose();
synchronized(stateChanged) {
this.state = GLGameState.Idle;
stateChanged.notifyAll();
}
}
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
synchronized(stateChanged) {
if(isFinishing())
state = GLGameState.Finished;
else
state = GLGameState.Paused;
while(true) {
try {
stateChanged.wait();
break;
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
}
}
}
wakeLock.release();
glView.onPause();
super.onPause();
}
public GLGraphics getGLGraphics() {
return glGraphics;
}
@Override
public Input getInput() {
return input;
}
@Override
public FileIO getFileIO() {
return fileIO;
}
@Override
public Graphics getGraphics() {
throw new IllegalStateException("We are using OpenGL!");
}
@Override
public Audio getAudio() {
return audio;
}
@Override
public void setScreen(Screen screen) {
if (screen == null)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Screen must not be null");
this.screen.pause();
this.screen.dispose();
screen.resume();
screen.update(0);
this.screen = screen;
}
@Override
public Screen getCurrentScreen() {
return screen;
}
}

Everything worked fine until I decided I want other things than just glsurfaceview.
I think I am just making a silly mistake, but since the time presses I would be glad if you helped.
Thanks
EDIT: the issue turned out to be that I am unable to findviewbyid from here for some reason. I also tried this:
GLGame.glView = (GLSurfaceView) ((Activity)getApplicationContext()).findViewById (R.id.glSurface);
this.findViewById (R.id.glSurface)is returning null. Did the ID or arrangement of Views change?
