I am trying to write a code in Android , to hide the Actionbar during scroll down event. I have a grid 10x50. So when i am scrolling down the action bar should hide. I am getting scroll state result in the Log Cat correctly so , whenever i am applying for getActionBar().hide , i am getting NullPointerException error.
My Code :
package com.example.complexdatepicker;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.widget.TabHost.TabSpec;
public class MainActivity extends TabActivity
{
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
TabSpec tab1 = tabHost.newTabSpec("Home");
tab1.setIndicator("Home");
Intent photosIntent = new Intent(this, Home.class);
tab1.setContent(photosIntent);
tabHost.addTab(tab1);
}
}
Home.java
package com.example.complexdatepicker;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.widget.GridView;
public class Home extends ActionBarActivity
{
ArrayList<String> abc;
TestGrid tg;
GridView gv;
int mLastFirstVisibleItem;
int mLastVisibleItemCount;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.home);
gv = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridView1);
abc = new ArrayList<String>();
for(int i=0;i<500;i++)
{
abc.add(String.valueOf(i));
}
tg = new TestGrid(Home.this,Home.this,abc);
gv.setAdapter(tg);
getSupportActionBar().hide(); /// Getting Error at this point..
/*
gv.setOnScrollListener(new AbsListView.OnScrollListener() {
public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem, int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
if (mLastFirstVisibleItem > firstVisibleItem) {
Log.e(getClass().toString(), "scrolling up");
getActionBar().show();
} else if (mLastFirstVisibleItem < firstVisibleItem) {
Log.e(getClass().toString(), "scrolling down");
getActionBar().hide();
} else if (mLastVisibleItemCount < visibleItemCount) {
