Error with using addtextchangedlistener to NavigationView Edittext

Tuesday, November 3, 2015

I'm trying to add an addtextchangedlistener event inside a navigationView edittext.



I want to add it so whenever I type characters in the textbox, it will automatically capture the text and then filter my menu using the text supplied.



What happens is when I run the app, it throws a null pointer exception on the
addTextChangedListener. How can I fix this to allow it to detect the input and control it from there?



this is my xml and class files:



nav_header_home.xml



<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/nav_header_height"
android:background="#e3e4e5"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark" android:orientation="vertical" >

<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="@dimen/search_bar_layout_height"
android:id="@+id/editTextSearchBar"
android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext"
android:hint="Search"
android:textColorHint="@color/colorSearchBarHint"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/ic_menu_search"

android:textColor="@color/colorProfileName"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout


activity_home.xml
