Hi all,
I tried to create a edittextbox, and button next to it, in the status
bar. !! I created it and tried to launch the browser activity, when
somebody
enters a URL in the textbox & click that button.
I get runtime exception as below.Can anyone please help what is the
issue with this exception ?
I know that Status bar is not a seperate activity. It is part of
'PhoneWindow'. But then i couldnt figure out what is the issue ?
Framework experts coud you pls help here...!!

StatusBarService.java --> I was trying to implement it like this.
private void makeStatusBarView(Context context) {
----------------------------
----------------------------
urlTextbox = (EditText)sb.findViewById(R.id.urltextbox);
Button mButton = (Button) sb.findViewById(R.id.Go);
mButton.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v) {
System.out.println("Status Bar -
Onclick of GO");
String url =
urlTextbox.getText().toString();
Intent browserIntent = new
Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse(url));
mContext.startActivity(browserIntent);
}
});
