I'm a beginner to android, I believe my code is all fine but when loading the application in the emulator the application crash's and needs to be force closed. I get the bellow logcat, Ive searched the error but to be honest I don't understand enough to convert their other solutions to suit mine ( i did try )
Edit :from what I can tell from other threads I may need to add something to the manifest ?
Could someone explain to me what I should be looking for in my code with the bellow logcat or at least point me to somethings I could try ?
if there is anything else i can do to help resolve this problem id be much obliged it seams quite a few of my projects are plagues by this same error.
Thanks for all the help in advance, this is my first post so be nice :)
