I made an activity for a game that will select images base on the required part. But when i add chronometer to control the time of my activity, it makes an error and it force close the activity. But on my code, there’s no error when i add the code for chronometer. On my Logcat it says: “Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception” and many more error on Logcat. Here’s my code, please help me find the problem, thank’s in advance!

may be the problem is in this section

gallery.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v, int position, long id) {
// Displaying the position when the gallery item in clicked
    if (position == 0) {
        //Toast.makeText(Maingame.this, "heart", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        TextView select = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt1);
          select.setText("heart"); 

    } else if (position == 1) {
        //Toast.makeText(Maingame.this, "lungs", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        TextView select = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt2);
          select.setText("lungs");
    } else if (position == 2) {
        //Toast.makeText(Maingame.this, "brain", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        TextView select = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt3);
          select.setText("brain");


    }
}
});

Where is your txt1,txt2,txt3 I guess It is in maingame.xml Make the intit of your textViews in your OnCreate make them public to access in the onItemClick.
