UPDATE** so i did pretty much everything that was said below and still got this error(see new logcat file). Its different though so i dont know how to fix it.**
Ok so im a beginner so i really dont know whats going on. When i try to run this app in the emulator all it is “unfortunately this app has stopped.” Ive search all the question similar to this but haven’t been able to find an answer. btw this isnt a finished app or really even started, but i want to get it to run before i continue. Heres the log cat file thing.
error opening trace file: No such file or directory (2)

Now heres the activty_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_marginRight="50dp"

</RelativeLayout>
Now the activity_display_message.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="@string/hello_world"
tools:context=".DisplayMessageActivity" />
</RelativeLayout>
Then here the mainActivity.java file
package com.nickymilton.testbasebal3;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.nickymilton.Testbasebal3.MESSAGE";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
public void sendMessage(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
then the second activity DisplayMessageActivity.java
package com.nickymilton.testbasebal3;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils;
public class DisplayMessageActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Get the message from the intent
Intent intent = getIntent();
String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
// Create the text view
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setTextSize(40);
textView.setText(message);
// Set the text view as the activity layout
setContentView(textView);
}
}
And finally the mainfest file
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.nickymilton.testbasebal3"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk

android:label="@string/title_activity_main" >
<intent-filter>

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity

<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value="com.nickymilton.testbasebal3.MainActivity" />
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
So there it is. Someone please help thanks!
I’ve noticed one thing, you’ve not declared the ‘id’ values correctly in some of your xml.
should be
And like wise for your other id declarations.
You’ll notice that in your stack trace it gives you the line number in your xml for the location of the error.
This might be something else. But essentially you have badly formed xml.
Error Two
You need to look through the stack trace backwards to find the source of your error, you will then most likely find the solution yourself.
From the top down you’ll get to the line MainActivity.oncreateOptionsMenu()
Above that you’ll see that its trying to inflate (your options menu xml), i.e. loadXmlResourceParser()
It doesn’t go as far as giving you an xml line number but it does tell you you have an issue with an Resource id not being valid.
You’ll need to post your options xml in your question if you want an answer. But i would see if you can work it out your self first. Try commenting out elements and putting them back in to see whats broken. I say this because theres only so much one Stack overflow question should answer.
