This answer describes the process of retrieving the stack trace. Already have the stack trace? Read up on stack traces in “What is a stack trace, and how can I use it to debug my application errors?“
Your application quit because an uncaught RuntimeException
was thrown.
The most common of these is the NullPointerException
.
Every time an Android application crashes (or any Java application for that matter), a Stack trace
is written to the console (in this case, logcat). This stack trace contains vital information for solving your problem.
Android Studio
In the bottom bar of the window, click on the Logcat
button. Alternatively, you can press alt+6. Make sure your emulator or device is selected in the Devices
panel. Next, try to find the stack trace, which is shown in red. There may be a lot of stuff logged into logcat, so you may need to scroll a bit. An easy way to find the stack trace is to clear the logcat (using the recycle bin on the right), and let the app crash again.
