THIS IS THE ProfileActivity.kt code:
package com.example.skillit
import android.content.Intent
import android.os.Bundle
import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.ImageView
import androidx.activity.viewModels
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
import androidx.fragment.app.activityViewModels
import com.example.skillit.data.InventoryApplication
import com.example.skillit.databinding.FragmentItemDetailBinding
import com.example.skillit.databinding.ProfileActivityBinding
class ProfileActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
//private var _binding: ProfileActivityBinding? = null
//private val binding get() = _binding!!
private val viewModel: InventoryViewModel by viewModels {
InventoryViewModelFactory((application as InventoryApplication).database.itemDao())
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
this.supportActionBar?.hide()
//_binding = ProfileActivityBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(this))
//setContentView(binding.root)
setContentView(R.layout.profile_activity)
val explore_button = findViewById(R.id.explore_button) as CardView
val profile_button = findViewById(R.id.profile_button) as CardView
val home_button = findViewById(R.id.home_button) as CardView
val upload_button = findViewById<Button>(R.id.upload)
home_button.setOnClickListener{
intent = Intent(this, HomeActivity::class.java)
startActivity(intent)
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_left, R.anim.slide_out_right)
}
explore_button.setOnClickListener{
intent = Intent(this, ExploreActivity::class.java)
startActivity(intent)
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_left, R.anim.slide_out_right)
}
profile_button.setOnClickListener{
intent = Intent(this, ProfileActivity::class.java)
startActivity(intent)
}
upload_button.setOnClickListener{
viewModel.addNewItem("name", "link")
}
}
}
THIS IS THE InventoryAplication.kt code:
package com.example.skillit.data
import android.app.Application
class InventoryApplication : Application() {
val database: ItemRoomDatabase by lazy { ItemRoomDatabase.getDatabase(this) }
}
THIS IS THE ItemRoomDatabase.kt code:
package com.example.skillit.data
import android.content.Context
import androidx.room.Database
import androidx.room.Room
import androidx.room.RoomDatabase
#Database(entities = [Item::class], version = 1, exportSchema = false)
abstract class ItemRoomDatabase : RoomDatabase() {
abstract fun itemDao(): ItemDao
companion object {
#Volatile
private var INSTANCE: ItemRoomDatabase? = null
fun getDatabase(context: Context): ItemRoomDatabase {
// if the INSTANCE is not null, then return it,
// if it is, then create the database
return INSTANCE ?: synchronized(this) {
val instance = Room.databaseBuilder(
context.applicationContext,
ItemRoomDatabase::class.java,
"item_database"
)
// Wipes and rebuilds instead of migrating if no Migration object.
// Migration is not part of this codelab.
.fallbackToDestructiveMigration()
.build()
INSTANCE = instance
// return instance
instance
}
}
}
}
I tried to upload data to a database when you press the upload_button in the ProfileActivity.kt file but when you do, in the "Logcat" tab it keeps showing me the error mentioned above, I think the problem is with the ItemRoomDatabase but I cant figure out what doesn't work .
