My app is crashing immediately upon launch. I cannot figure out why. I was having other issues with this app that were solved in another thread, however, the issue I’m having now is completely different. I know my code/structure is not the most elegant, but I am still a novice when it comes to Android and XML.
Here is the log error stacktrace:

Move this
to your
onCreate()because you have tosetContentView()before you callfindViewById.
