WebView Android Null exception

Question

So the error is

06-30 11:51:08.690: E/AndroidRuntime(1105): Caused by:
java.lang.NullPointerException
06-30 11:51:08.690: E/AndroidRuntime(1105):     
at com.bd.krowd.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:54)

And my code here is:`

String url ="http://themeforest.net/item/forum-website-html-template/full_screen_preview/7968760";
    WebView view=(WebView) this.findViewById(R.id.webView1);
    view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    view.loadUrl(url);

Line 54 is

view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

So what must be done?

view is probably null. Is the layout set correctly before calling findViewById? — Jens Vesti

Something must be null! webview or the WebSettings object returned by getSettings().

WebView view=(WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);

view can be null if R.id.webView1 cannot be found

have you called :

setContentView(R.layout.yourWebviewLayout);

before in your oncreate??

if ur webview is in activity... change the code as below...

String url ="http://themeforest.net/item/forum-website-html-template/full_screen_preview/7968760";
WebView view=(WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
view.loadUrl(url);

call on create before adding this snippet..
