Yeah, same with what I suspected. But how do I fix it knowing that i don't want the search
onclick listener to affect it in any way?

It's running now after changing the sound format. Please post this as an answer so that I can accept. Thank you very much

I guess using the "places AutoComplete API" may be a good suggestion since it will disable the user from searching any city not pertaining to the suggested ones. Looking at my app, any strong suggestion concerning it? or any headstart?

On "checking for that in the onResponse() method", I don't know what to change to fix it.

Now, It displays the following: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.media.MediaPlayer.start()' on a null object reference
at com.viz.lightweatherforecast.Activity.HomeActivity$1.onClick(HomeActivity.java:70)

It's compile error

Please are you sure? It's just for button click sound. Not music

You're more rude. I can never be rude to one who respects small young devs looking for help. You threw code at me and said "use it as you like, it's none of my business". Knowing fully well that I have difficulties understanding it myself

Okay, I've posted the class here

Yeah, that's why I told you not to bother. I fixed it using a way much better method than the one you suggested

Yes. And I got the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.viz.lightweatherforecast.Retrofit.Example$Main com.viz.lightweatherforecast.Retrofit.Example.getMain()' on a null object reference

But only when an unavailable city is searched

Teach me how to be perfect

Thanks, but I already fixed it using this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66146060/15804753

It was his idea and it was quite off point for my app

No, I'm using OpenWeatherMap API

It calls the example class code setup in the ApiInterface.

The app doesn't show error. I can easily search any city and get the result. But when I search an unavailable city, it returns "(my app) has stopped" On my phone.

I've included my interface class in the code.

I just fixed it now using a custom deserializer. Don't even think not helping me will stop me from making it work

Exactly so you shouldn't have attempted to help me right from time when it's not from your heart because such code will always fail. I've told you my app is different and whether you help or not, I'll still find a solution at last. Don't do what's not from your heart please

I called my getPrettyDate() in my fragment
time_field.setText("Last Updated:" + " " + response.body().getPrettyDate());
after

Converting in my example class.

How do I call this one? Or you mean just writing this code on the example class that way will fix it?

Okay. After converting this in my example class, how do I call it in my activity and fragment? Dt, sunrise & sunset section specifically?

No your not understanding. I don't want to convert 1620792785, but any data the dt, sunrise and sunset returns whenever the user searches for a particular city.

But they always return instance like that. It's not specific since it's not only a city

It's a UTC time value according to the documentation https://openweathermap.org/current

It just gave suggestion of either I change first parameter(int) to string or I use int parser. And it was because I made

public static String toDate(int time) {
SimpleDateFormat HMM = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a");
HMM.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
final Date date = new Date(time*1000);
return HMM.format(date);
}

Static.

Both sunrise and sunset are not specific, that was why I gave an instance.

Like I said
My app can search for any city, so I'm not getting for a particular timezone but for all cities.

I've reduced it to the bare minimum

Oh k I'm sorry, I'll edit it and let you know

Sometimes, you have to post the code in order for the person helping you to actually fix the exact fault because you may give a solution to converting dt which may end up not corresponding with my app since they're many ways of doing it.

At least from what I've tried, you can show me a correction to that which may solve the issue.

It's obvious, code project is a wrong place to look for answers. How can you show me documentation when I asked for help. How sad

Sure, but I had no idea how to fix it

Ok, thanks

This didn't fix my problem

It now displays the splash screen on the notch area. It was displaying on the notch before, the notch was dark that time

I fixed the error by adding this line to the cutoutmode.

tools:targetApi="o_mr1">shortEdges

But thanks for your concern

I didn't screenshot the whole app because I've not launched it on the stores yet, so don't wanna show how the logo looks like... But then the app doesn't display on the notch area, that's the problem

Sure https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UVvbGHXzcXHxt1fKd1be77D8kRjjcia_/view?usp=drivesdk

Okay thanks a lot! This was helpful

Yeah that's exactly it. I know it's not a good design and I'd have loved to use only the fragment's element, but there's only a search button that searches for weather city in the activity, it needs to be linked to the fragment otherwise, I won't be able to access the fragment data.

Can't there be a way to do it even if it's not a good design? Can't it work?

It's okay, I appreciate your concern

Please I'm not saying run the code for me, I've spent several hours trying to figure out a solution, yet I'm able to achieve nothing. My only plea is is how to call the getActivity in such a way it will not return null because it returns npe whenever I use the oncreateview, it may work on the onActivityCreated but I've not found a way to do that, please help

I don't understand what you really mean by the debugger. Is that "debug" on logcat?
If it is, it shows W/System.err: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.content.ComponentName.getPackageName()' on a null object reference

W/System.err: java.lang.NullPointerException: null receiver
2021-03-17 13:44:13.775 1580-1666/? W/System.err: at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method)

But "Run" shows the error i posted up.

Sure i did, the id name is correct
Runtime error still shows the exact same error

I did call the getText in my fragment(line 60)
EditText textfield = getActivity().findViewById(R.id.textfield);
