Get Can't pass null for argument 'pathString' in child() error

I having some trouble with how to use a Button to access another activity with data from firebase. I'm just getting an error "Can't pass null for argument 'pathString' in child()". But when I try in another activity with OnItemClick on a listview item it works. Why is that?



What I'm trying to do is: I have a activity with a listview that stores and get data from firebase. What I want is, if I click on one of the items in that listview I want a new activity with buttons, and these buttons will get me to another activity with a listview that are related to the first activity (related data). So the activity with the buttons are the same activity for every listview items i click on, like just a "dummy" activity. Is this possible?



Here is the code:



lvjobbinfo works fine, but add doesn't. I want lvjobbinfo and add to do the same.



public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

EditText etinfonavn;
ListView lvjobbinfo;
TextView tvjobbnavn;
Button add;

DatabaseReference databaseJOBBINFO;

List<Main> jobbinfo;

public static final String infonavn = "infonavn";
public static final String infoid = "infoid";



@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

databaseJOBBINFO = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("Jobbinfo");


lvjobbinfo = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.lvjobbinfo);


lvjobbinfo.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {

Main main = jobbinfo.get(i);

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Notater.class);

intent.putExtra(infoid, main.getInfoId());
intent.putExtra(infonavn, main.getInfonavn());

startActivity(intent);

return true;


}
});

tvjobbnavn = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvjobbnavn);
etinfonavn = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etinfonavn) ;
add = (Button)findViewById(R.id.add);

add.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent add = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Notater.class);
startActivity(add);
}
});




Intent intent = getIntent();

jobbinfo = new ArrayList<>();


String id = intent.getStringExtra(Jobbliste.jobbId);
String navn = intent.getStringExtra(Jobbliste.jobbnavn);

tvjobbnavn.setText(navn);

databaseJOBBINFO = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Jobbinfo").child(id);




}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();

databaseJOBBINFO.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
jobbinfo.clear();

for (DataSnapshot infosnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {

final Main main = infosnapshot.getValue(Main.class);
jobbinfo.add(main);


final listMain infolistadapter = new listMain(MainActivity.this, jobbinfo);

lvjobbinfo.setAdapter(infolistadapter);

infolistadapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

}




}

@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {




}
});

    The error indicates that you're passing null into a call to child. The only place where I see that in the code you shared is child(id), so it looks like id is null there. Run the code in a debugger and put a breakpoint on that line to see why that is.

  • As @FrankvanPuffelen said about your id being null. Did you check it? Could you solve your problem?

  • I tried debugging my app, but to be honest, I didn't understand so much of it. So can you help me with this? Why is it working with onItemclicklistener and not setonclicklistener?
