A method im using is causing the app to crash

my app was running just well until i used a custom method of my own called loadPage() in the onCreate() method. wich cuases the app when moving on to next activity to crash! i am struggling to figure out the reason??

//code

@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_story);

    mImageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.storyImageView);
    mTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.storyTextView);
    mChoice1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.choiceButton1);
    mChoice2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.choiceButton2);

    loadPage();

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    name = intent.getStringExtra("name");




    if(name == null){
        name = "john";
    }
    Log.d(TAG, name);


}

private void loadPage(){

    Page page = mStory.getPage(0);

    Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(page.getImageId());
    mImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);


    String textPage = page.getText();
    textPage = String.format(textPage, name);
    mTextView.setText(textPage);

    mChoice1.setText(page.getChoice1().getText());
    mChoice2.setText(page.getChoice2().getText());
}

}

//end of code.
