Answer 1

hey Nikola i think your design it self is wrong one Activity can refer only one xml file. if you want to change the xml for same activity you need to inflate it during runtime. at your case copy your all textview's and edit text from game_menu.xml and paste it in your activity_main.xml i think this will work. Check out your activity you are using setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); which does not contain the editText which you are acessing. So i think that's the reason you are getting error.

Answer 2

Your

text1.getText() or text1

is null. So

text1.getText().toString() 

gives NullPointerException.
