I am a novice and I'm just creating a simple Android app in which there are 2 buttons that take you to different pages when clicked, which have different functions.
However, my app crashes on start-up, simply saying
Unfortunately [app name] has stopped
and I don't understand
As I have barely made any changes to my MainActivity.java, the code seems to be well written, and eclipse displays no errors... Any help, please? I have searched around Stack, but I can't find anything specific to this...
Here is my MainActivity.java:
package com.example.helper;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
@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);
}
/**Called upon when the user clicks the 'Abbreviations' button*/
public void listDefinitions (View view){
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ListDefinitions.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
/**Called upon when the user clicks the 'Assistant' button*/
public void openAssistant (View view){
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Assistant.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
Here is my activity_main.xml:

My ListDefinitions.java & Assistant.java are untouched at this point.
