Android Question
Using random number generate to display images from an arraylist
Brief Description: The application will display random images to the user based off the words from the word bank file and the user will have to identify the name of the image, (single word). The user can either "pass" by clicking the pass button or identify the image and then the "next" button will pop up directing them to the next image.
Problem:
The application keep crashing right before the new next button appears with different images when I attempt to press the next button.
I think that it has something to do with the random number generator or an issue with the if statements i placed.
I am getting no error message. I am not sure what is causing the issue. When I do run the apk file, when it crash it says "unfortunately, pic has stopped"
"pic" is the app name.
EDIT:
When i ran the app through the emulator I got an runtime error message, shown below
The next button is clicked and changes to the next image which is randomizes by the code:
randomNum = (random.nextInt(UnSpokenList.size()) + 1);
the first element, contains "Word Bank:" which is not an image, it just the name of the list of word, so I did random.nextInt(maxsize)+1 , which I assume avoids 0, the first element, but when it comes down to the arraylist have the size of 2
(it crashes right before this part, but it does crashes when this next button is click as well.)
In the
onActivityResultMain Code:
I took some code off functions that aren't related to the issue hopefully it will be easier to find the main problem.

EDIT: Error Message:
This error message occurs every time I pressed the last2image button, and gives the crash message: "unfortunately, pic has stopped running"

The function that runs when the button is click is the onlastPair() function,
public void onlastPair(View view){
if(view.getId() == R.id.last2){
if(!UnSpokenList.get(UnSpokenList.size()).contains("Word Bank:")) {
resID = res.getIdentifier(UnSpokenList.get(UnSpokenList.size()), "drawable", getApplication().getPackageName());
image.setImageResource(resID);
speechBtn.setClickable(true);
pass.setClickable(false);
pass.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}else {
onGameOver();
}
}
}
originally the error message directed to the two lines below as part an error:
if(!UnSpokenList.get(UnSpokenList.size()).contains("Word Bank:")) {
resID = res.getIdentifier(UnSpokenList.get(UnSpokenList.size()), "drawable", getApplication().getPackageName());
so i decided to change the function shown below,
public void onlastPair(View view){
if(view.getId() == R.id.last2){
if(!UnSpokenList.get(1).isEmpty()) {
int max = UnSpokenList.size();
resID = res.getIdentifier(UnSpokenList.get(max), "drawable", getApplication().getPackageName());
image.setImageResource(resID);
speechBtn.setClickable(true);
pass.setClickable(false);
pass.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}else {
onGameOver();
}
}
}
but it still give me an error now this time it is pointing to the line:
int max = UnSpokenList.size();
I am not sure what it wrong, maybe it's my logic but it seem to make sense to me or something im missing. Any ideas will be helpful, Thank you!
Answer Source
randomNum = (random.nextInt(UnSpokenList.size()) + 1); is incorrect
nextInt(15) gives # 0-14
if your UnSpokenList.size() == 15, that means it has indicies from 0-14
so if you do random.nextInt(UnSpokenList.size()) + 1) you are actually rng'ing for numbers, 15+1, which will be from 0-15
15 will fall outside your indicies of 0-14
to ignore your UnSpokenList(0)...
you need to change it to: random.nextInt(UnSpokenList.size() - 1) + 1
a size 15-1 will rng 0-13, then +1, will make it 1-14 which is perfect for UnSpokenList(1) - UnSpokenList(14)
we can test this for UnSpokenList.size() = 2
random.nextInt(2 - 1) + 1 = only-0 + 1 = only-1
EDIT
if(!UnSpokenList.get(1).isEmpty()) are you trying to check if your list has more than 1 item? if so, yours can throw index-error, it should be if (UnSpokenList.size() > 1)
then once again, int max = UnSpokenList.size() ... UnSpokenList.get(max) you're giving it an index out of bounds, 0-14 but you get(15), it's not going to work
