Hi. Could you copy/paste the content of your logcat please? (Showing just the Error log, using the filter). That would help. Thanks

Hi. If you look at the

Caused by

part of the log, it tells you:

  • why the app crashed:
E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.example.interactivestory, PID: 4745 java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.interactivestory/com.example.interactivestory.ui.StoryActivity}: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x1

You want to remember ResourcesNotFoundException: String resource ID #0x1 here

  • and where the problem is: After Caused by, check the last blue link to your code and work your way up from there to understand what's happening. Let's go though the chain of methods that are called.
at com.example.interactivestory.ui.StoryActivity.onCreate(StoryActivity.java:50)

Click on the link. You're taken to your StoryActivity class, in the onCreate() method, line 50. I suppose it is where loadPage() is called.

at com.example.interactivestory.ui.StoryActivity.loadPage(StoryActivity.java:66)

That second blue link will take you to line 66 of your StoryActivity class, inside your loadPage() method. I assume it's where 

String pageText = getString(page.getTextId())

is called.

at android.content.Context.getString(Context.java:409)

On that line #66, Context.getString(resId) is called

at android.content.res.Resources.getString(Resources.java:400)

This calls getResources().getString(resId)

at android.content.res.Resources.getText(Resources.java:312)

Which in turn calls getText(id).toString()

Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x1

The system tries to call Resources.getText(id) but cannot find the id, so it throws a NotFoundException("String resource ID #01"). The problem is here, that resource is missing.

Start by checking your Story class and make sure all your pages are set up properly there, meaning you have all pages numbered 0 to 6, and 2 choices for each page 0 to 4 set up. Then check your strings.xml file and make sure all these choice strings are listed there. Chances are, you're missing some. Good luck!

Hope that helps :)
