Answer 1

You called CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.remember) before setContentView(R.layout.view). That's may be why. Call loginDetails() after setContentView(R.layout.view).

Answer 2

You're calling loginDetails() before you have inflated your layout to the activity. So, no ui elements exist. call setContentView() before you call findViewById().
