I am making an android app using android 2.2 and eclipse.
There are two workflows of the app:
WF1: CoverPageApp -> LoginActivity -> Dashboard.
WF2: CoverPageApp -> RegisterActivity -> Dashboard.
But as I click on the Start Button in CoverPageApp to go on another activity, i.e LoginActivity, the app force closes.
I have also included the LogCat which shows error of Null Exception and in the LoginActivity Java File it points on the line 51:
btnLinkToRegistrScrn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.LinkToRegisterScreen);
