Unfortunately XXX has stopped. How to solve this?

Question

The app is stopped when starting the app in emulator. I can't find any problems.

Here's The logcat:

How to find out the problem? (MainActivity.java:173 and MainActivity.java:174)

Button[] buttons = new Button[]{(Button)findViewById(R.id.FileToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.ImageToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.GroundToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.SeaToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.NailToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.RubberToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.SpeedboardToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.ItemToolStripMenuItem)};
LinearLayout[] lls = new LinearLayout[]{(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.FileDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ImageDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.GroundDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.SeaDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.NailDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.RubberDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.SpeedDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ItemDrop)};

This works properly before, but something happened after doing something. Maybe related to the version?

The object array is not so well, so after I replaced

Button[] buttons = new Button[]{(Button)findViewById(R.id.FileToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.ImageToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.GroundToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.SeaToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.NailToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.RubberToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.SpeedboardToolStripMenuItem),(Button)findViewById(R.id.ItemToolStripMenuItem)};
LinearLayout[] lls = new LinearLayout[]{(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.FileDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ImageDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.GroundDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.SeaDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.NailDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.RubberDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.SpeedDrop),(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ItemDrop)};

by

int[] idb = {R.id.FileToolStripMenuItem,R.id.ImageToolStripMenuItem,R.id.GroundToolStripMenuItem,R.id.SeaToolStripMenuItem,R.id.NailToolStripMenuItem,R.id.RubberToolStripMenuItem,R.id.SpeedboardToolStripMenuItem,R.id.ItemToolStripMenuItem};
int[] idl = {R.id.FileDrop,R.id.ImageDrop,R.id.GroundDrop,R.id.SeaDrop,R.id.NailDrop,R.id.RubberDrop,R.id.SpeedDrop,R.id.ItemDrop};

And replaced the codes with (Button)findViewById(int[index])

(From

        int a ;
        for (a=0;a<buttons.length;a++){
            buttons[a].setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }

to

        int a ;
        for (a=0;a<idb.length;a++){
            Button button1 = (Button)findViewById(idb[a]);
            button1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }

)

Problem solved.

So, that's an error stack trace. It shows you what stuff was called when the app crashed. When looking at one of these its often most useful to find a reference to your own app (rather than the Android OS as most lines are) and go from there. In your example I see:

    at com.twy.rsmap.MainActivity.<init>(MainActivity.java:173)

So look on MainActivity's line 173 for a null pointer exception.

Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo Ans The App is crashed due to the NullPointer Exception & Null pointer exception is occur due to findViewById() check the XML ID and the Java code id which are used in findviewById. Check the MainActivity Line No 173
