Question by j_perker · Mar 13, 2014 at 06:31 PM · arraylistselectiongridnullreference

Why am I getting a null reference?

 if (response is IList<Buddy>)
         {
             IList<Buddy> buddy = (List<Buddy>) response;   
             for(int i=0;i<buddy.Count;i++){  
                 
                 Debug.Log("Buddy request from: " + buddy[i].GetBuddyName());  
                 buddy_requests_list.Add(buddy[i].GetBuddyName());
             } 
             GetBuddyRequest.buddy_requests = buddy_requests_list.ToArray();
         }



 public static string[] buddy_requests;

 void OnGUI(){
         
         {
             scrollPosition = GUI.BeginScrollView(new Rect(Screen.width - 950, Screen.height - 400, 100, 200), scrollPosition, new Rect(0, 0, 0, 1000));
             buddy_selected = GUILayout.SelectionGrid(buddy_selected, buddy_requests, buddy_requests.Length);
             GUI.EndScrollView();
         }
 
     }

so the code is generating a buddy list then i'm converting it to an array and putting it into the buddy_requests variable. But I'm still getting a null reference error on the line buddy_selected = GUILayout.SelectionGrid(buddy_selected, buddy_requests, buddy_requests.Length); And I'm not sure why, I use code identical to this in another script and seems to work fine.

Is the whole... section in a method or anything? Right now it looks like it's floating.

This section below...

 if (response is IList)
        {
          IList<Buddy> buddy = (List<Buddy>) response;   
          for(int i=0;i<buddy.Count;i++){  
  
           Debug.Log("Buddy request from: " + buddy[i].GetBuddyName());  
           buddy_requests_list.Add(buddy[i].GetBuddyName());
          } 
          GetBuddyRequest.buddy_requests = buddy_requests_list.ToArray();
        }

yea it's in a public void OnSuccess (object response) which is the BuddyCallBack for the get GetFriendRequests method

   buddyService = sp.BuildBuddyService();
     buddyService.GetFriendRequest(userName, new BuddyCallBack());

Can you please paste the actual code, it's confusing without seeing the method in there for the top half that I mentioned.

The only thing in the line you mention that can give a Null reference exception is that

 public static string[] buddy_requests;

is null at the time OnGUI is called. since buddy_requests.Length would be null.Length. Try putting a Debug where you first set buddy_requests, and a Debug at the beginning of OnGUI to see which is called first.

i think it's because you are using a variable that is only initiated inside an if statement, mean that it is possible that it will never initiate, and so you get a null reference exception
