I am getting a NullPointerException when I try to access an element in the layout from a DialogFragment. I have checked that, if I call getView() inside the same DialogFragment the result is 'null'.
Thank you in advance!
This is the Activity that calls commits the FragmentDialog "NewPOIDialog"

NewPOIDialog
The view was initially called as below, I changed it as I was receiving a StackOverFlowError: var view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_new_poi_dialog,null)
class NewPOIDialog : DialogFragment() {
override fun onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState: Bundle?): Dialog {
var view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.activity_new_poi_dialog, null)
var dialog = AlertDialog.Builder(requireContext())
.setMessage("TITLE")
.setView(view)
.setPositiveButton("ok") { _, _ -> }
.setNegativeButton("Cancel") { _, _ -> }
.create()
//THIS LINE WORKS FINE
var coordinatesvalue = view.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.coordinates_value)
coordinatesvalue.text =
"${arguments?.getDouble("latitude")}\n, ${arguments?.getDouble("longitude")}"
//THIS CAUSES A NULL POINTER EXCEPTION
coordinates_value.text = "TEST"
return dialog
}
}
The exception I am getting:
