0

I am trying to test a simple android application from an android development book and I reached a point when running the application gets me an error message. Unfortunately app has stopped. (When I take out setStarUpScreenText(); the application runs but the desired text does not appear. MainActivity

package chaper.two.hello_world;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    WorldGen earth = new WorldGen("Earth", 5973, 9.78);       //Create a World Object 
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); 
        setStartUpWorldValues();
        setStarUpScreenText(); //when this is removed, application runs but text from object is not displayed.
    }
    protected void setStartUpWorldValues(){
        earth.setPlanetColonies(1);                      //Set Planet Colonies to one
        earth.setPlanetMilitary(1);                      //Set Planet Military Bases to on
        earth.setColonyImmigration(1000);                //Set Planet Population to 1,000
        earth.setBaseProtection(100);                    //Set  Planet Armed Forces to 100
        earth.turnForceFieldOn();                        // Turn On the Planet Forcefield
    }

According to LogCat, you are missing the refered string resource:

Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x1755

In line 28

at chaper.two.hello_world.MainActivity.setStarUpScreenText(MainActivity.java:28)

Wich would be this line:

planetMassValue.setText(earth.planetMass);

It seems that your res/values/strings.xml is missing the string that the atribute planetMass, from the object earth, of class WorldGen is pointing to.

In case the string is there, and you are referring to it correctly, there might be some problem with the R file. So just do a Project -> Clean, so that R file gets rebuilt.
