I am following an online tutorial on Udemy. I created the default hello world app, but it would not load when I tried to run it! I decided to go to the next video and created a simple project that should display the text "Hello, World!" when a button is pressed, but I get this message on the emulator when I run the project:
Unfortunately Hello World has stopped.
I have been trying for hours searching multiple threads, but none seem to give me a solution. I am using the latest adt bundle (API 20) version 23. Here are the two files:
MainActivity.java
package com.ebook.helloworld;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public void onBtnTouch(View v){
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
tv.setText("Hello, World!");
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
activity_main.xml
