button crashes app/\end activity via menu

Postby superferd » Sun May 15, 2011 8:50 am

So, i am new here(hi everyone!) and new to java/android developing. I have done a few tutorials and spend a lot of time reading documentation. I have also looked extensively through the API demos and found a specific thing i needed. The forwarding from one activity to the next on the click of a button. It just won't work. So here are my main activity and manifest files. Please take a quick look or help me debug.

The exception occurs in onCreate, try to comment out the four statements for the buttons and see if it runs.

Ah yes, I figured it out. I think...

I have removed the 4 lines of button code and now it will start the app. But how do I make the buttons work?

There is only one button in your layout file, imageButton1. There is now new_game button. Define the new_game button in your layout.

The new_game button is in a optionsmenu, I don't have it here. Will post the .xml when I get home.

You can't use buttons from the options menu like this. you have to do this in onCreateOptionsmenu and onMenuItemselected (not 100% sure about the names, but somethink like this).
