Question

For some reason my code works perfectly for Froyo(API 8) but gives me a Stopped Unexpectedly/Force Close error when I try to run it on API 9 or 10, AVD and phones give me the same error message. Any idea as to why?
My code for review:

All pages look similar to ViewActivity.java. only difference id the drawable called.

ViewActivity.java:

    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.content.Intent;
    import android.graphics.Bitmap;
    import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.Menu;
    import android.view.MenuItem;

    public class ViewActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    //creates view
    TouchImageView img = new TouchImageView(this);
    //sets image
    Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.largeimage1);
    img.setImageBitmap(image);
    img.setMaxZoom(3f);
    setContentView(img); 
}
    //Creates the options menu
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.echooptions, menu);
    return true;
}
//Starts the chosen menu activity
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.back_item:
        Intent intentb = new Intent(this, page16.class);
        startActivity(intentb);
        return true;
    case R.id.next_item:
        Intent intentn = new Intent(this, page2.class);
        startActivity(intentn);
        return true;
    case R.id.about_menu_item:
        Intent intenta = new Intent(this, AboutActivity.class);
        startActivity(intenta);
        return true;
    case R.id.tablecontents:
        return true;
    case R.id.page1:
        Intent intent1 = new Intent(this, ViewActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent1);
        return true;
    case R.id.page2:
        Intent intent2 = new Intent(this, page2.class);
        startActivity(intent2);
        return true;
    default:

    }
}

Answer 1

InstantiationException: mil.Army.page2 implies it can’t create an instance of class page2. I think this is usually thrown when you try to instantiate an abstract class or interface. According to this it can be thrown because the class doesn’t have a default (zero-argument) constructor. I don’t know why it would work only on API 8 since this seems to be a Java issue, but it seems to be a possible cause.

EDIT: May also try to simply rebuild the project. In Eclipse, just clean it by going to Project->Clean.

EDIT: I also came across this as well that seems to b related:

Why do I get an InstantiationException if I try to start a service?
