I have just started writing my first piece of code in an android app, however when I run it with the following section uncommented it crashes (anything else I tell you would be a useless guess):
public void onButton1Click(View v){
if(v.getId() == R.id.button1){
StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder("");
if (pepBox.isChecked()) {
str.append("Pepperoni"+" ");
}
if (cheeseBox.isChecked()) {
str.append("Extra Cheese");
}
if (str.length() == 0) {
str.append("Plain");
}
textView.setText(str);
}
}
With the following error log:
