"Unfortunately app has stopped" error?

Question

I'm trying to write a basic drawing Android app for android and test it on Genymotion, but I can't click on the app icon (it says "Unfortunately [app] has stopped.")

I'm not sure if the three private variables should be under the MainActivity class? Or that it has to do with my AndroidManifest.xml file. Can someone look over my code?

My MainActivity.java file:

package edu.berkeley.cs160.opalkale.prog2;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private Paint myPaint;
private ImageButton currPaint;
private myView drawView;

public void paintClicked(View view) {
    if (view != currPaint) {
        // update color
        ImageButton imgView = (ImageButton) view;
        String color = view.getTag().toString();

        drawView.setColor(color);
        imgView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.paint_pressed));
        currPaint.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.paint));
        currPaint = (ImageButton)view;
    }

}

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    myView mV = new myView(this, null);
    setContentView(mV);

    drawView = (myView) findViewById(R.id.drawing);

    LinearLayout paintLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.paint_colors);
    currPaint = (ImageButton) paintLayout.getChildAt(0);
    currPaint.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(
            R.drawable.paint_pressed));
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

}

Answer 1

It is just a common problem with manifest your program "Unfortunately app has stopped" may be caused due to Manifest file, Because you have two classes:

So use this:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="13"
    android:targetSdkVersion="18" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
      android:name=".myView"
      android:label="@string/app_name">
    </activity>
</application>

Answer 2

Just remove comments from this line ,

// setContentView(mV);

Answer 3

Where is your layout.Your layout is missing. Use setContentView(R.layout.yourlayout);

Answer 4

NPE- Null Pointer Exception. No call to setContentView.

Also,

drawView = (myView) findViewById(R.id.drawing);  

what is your myView ?

Please set myView as the view for your activity or call setContentView with the layout where R.id.drawing is.

Answer 5

setContentView(Id); is missing in your code.So it is giving you NullPointerException

Set some of the view to your Activity like

setContentView(R.layout.layout);
