Treehouse Guest TeacherHello Andrii,
I believe the relevant piece of information is this.
Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.crystalball/com.example.crystalball.MainActivity}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.
There could be a mismatch between the theme that is set and the class that MainActivity derives from. Does your MainActivity class derive from Activity?

413 PointsHi Justin!
Thanks for looking at my issue. But I have just started with programming and this sounds more like rocket science) Could you please tell me what should i change and in which file?
Thanks again!
Best, A

Treehouse Guest TeacherNo problem! I'll do my best to help.
Firstly, we need to know more about your MainActivity class, since this seems like the source of the problem.
Make sure MainActivity extends Activity. If it extends anything else such as ActionBarActivity, change it to extend Activity. So your result should look something like this.
public class MainActivity extends Activity
If this isn't the problem let me know and we'll take the next step.
