Android自定义view，空指针异常求解决

package com.drawview.drawview;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.linearlayout);
        LinearLayout l = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.layout.linearlayout);
        DrawView dv = new DrawView(this);
        dv.setMinimumHeight(300);
        dv.setMinimumWidth(300);
        l.addView(dv);
    }
}

package com.drawview.drawview;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;

public class DrawView extends View{
    private float currentX = 30;
    private float currentY = 30;
    Paint p = new Paint();
    public DrawView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public DrawView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        currentX = event.getX();
        currentY = event.getY();
        invalidate();
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        super.onDraw(canvas);
        p.setColor(Color.MAGENTA);
        canvas.drawCircle(currentX,currentY,15,p);
    }
}

【错误提示】
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.widget.LinearLayout.addView(android.view.View)' on a null object reference

我知道错误的意思，也知道发生在哪儿，就是不知道怎么解决。

LinearLayout l = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.layout.linearlayout);这段代码不对，虽然R.layout.linearlayout也是int型，但不是控件，findViewById是找控件的。可以这么解决，把这段代码改成 LinearLayout l = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.lin);，然后在你的布局文件中添加一个LinearLayout的控件：
android:id="@+id/lin"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent">

</LinearLayout>

findViewById只能用来找到控件,这个就只能去在view里面嵌入一个布局了,给这个布局指定id

LinearLayout l = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.layout.linearlayout);
应该是R.id.linearlayout，通过id找xml布局中的控件
R.layout.linearlayout，这样是找xml布局

LinearLayout l = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.layout.linearlayout);
这句错了
你应该在布局里面的id,而不是布局本身
你可以给linearLayout添加一个id,就跟其他的控件一样，例如button
也是需要添加id才能获取的
