IllegalArgumentException: Parameter specified as non-null is null
AndroidExceptionNullKotlinAndroid Problem Overview
I'm getting the following runtime error:
checkParameterIsNotNull, parameter oneClickTokens
at com.info.app.fragments.Fragment_Payment_Profile$fetchMerchantHashes$1.onPostExecute(Fragment_Payment_Profile.kt:0)
at com.info.app.fragments.Fragment_Payment_Profile$fetchMerchantHashes$1.onPostExecute(Fragment_Payment_Profile.kt:1543)
Here's my code:
private fun fetchMerchantHashes(intent: Intent) {
// now make the api call.
val postParams = "merchant_key=$key&user_credentials=$var1"
val baseActivityIntent = intent
object : AsyncTask<Void, Void, HashMap<String, String>>() {
override fun doInBackground(vararg params: Void): HashMap<String, String>? {
...
}
override fun onPostExecute(oneClickTokens: HashMap<String, String>) {
super.onPostExecute(oneClickTokens)
...
}
}.execute()
}
It seems that the function call seems to be invalid. However, I don't know how to fix this problem. Is there anything Kotlin specific I've missed?

The exception is pretty clear: you're passing null
for the parameter.
By default all variables and parameters in Kotlin are non-null. If you want to pass null
parameter to the method you should add ?
to it's type, for example:
fun fetchMerchantHashes(intent: Intent?)
For more information: null-safety.

In my case this error warned about probable passing a null as a parameter. Three ways of correction.
- Change a type of a parameter in corresponding place. If it is received from Java, add
@NonNull
annotation to a variable definition. - Add
!!
to an argument of the method. - Add
?
to the parameter in Kotlin class. I think, Kotlin conversion tool might do this by default, if in Java class there were no annotations used (like@Nullable
,@NonNull
).

Simple Answer Will Work For Sure... When you are fetching the data from the Server using Rest Client (Web Services calls) (GET Or POST) and if there could be a null parameter value in the json response, and you are fetching the parameter and appending it to textview you get this error..
Solution: just append ? mark to the variable as below..
Example:
var batchNo: String? = "" (Correct Approach)
var batchNo= "" (Will Get Error)
Here I am trying to fetch batchNo using service call.

I caught similar exception after converting an Activity from Java to Kotlin using Android Studio converting tool. So, it's that I got override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent)
It's right override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?)
Difference in intent: Intent?

For each of the binding adapters, change the type of the item argument to nullable, and wrap the body with
> item?.let{...}
