On my side if I try to click the button it does nothing just sits at same screen, no error messages.

'''

private story mStory = new story();
private ImageView mImageView;
private TextView mTextView;
private Button mChoiceOne;
private Button mChoiceTwo;
private String mName;





public static final String TAG = storyActivity.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_story);

    mStory.Story();
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    String mName = intent.getStringExtra(getString(R.string.key_name));

    if(mName == null)
    {
        mName = "friend";
    }

    Log.d(TAG,mName);

    mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.storyImageView);
    mTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.storyTextView);
    mChoiceOne = (Button) findViewById(R.id.choiceButtonOne);
    mChoiceTwo = (Button) findViewById(R.id.choiceTwoButton);
    mStory.Story();

}

private void loadPage(int choice)
{

   final page mCurrentPage = mStory.getPage(choice);

    Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(mCurrentPage.getImageId());
    mImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);
    mTextView.setText(mCurrentPage.getText());
    String pageText = mCurrentPage.getText();
    String.format(pageText,mName );

    mChoiceOne.setText(mCurrentPage.getChoiceOne().getText());
    mChoiceTwo.setText(mCurrentPage.getChoiceTwo().getText());

    mChoiceOne.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v)
        {
            int nextPage = mCurrentPage.getChoiceOne().getNextPage();
            loadPage(nextPage);
        }

    });

    mChoiceTwo.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v)
        {
            int nextPage = mCurrentPage.getChoiceTwo().getNextPage();
            loadPage(nextPage);
        }
    });

It appears you are not calling you loadPage(int choice) method at the bottom of onCreate();

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

    mStory.Story();
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    String mName = intent.getStringExtra(getString(R.string.key_name));

    if(mName == null)
    {
        mName = "friend";
    }

    Log.d(TAG,mName);

    mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.storyImageView);
    mTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.storyTextView);
    mChoiceOne = (Button) findViewById(R.id.choiceButtonOne);
    mChoiceTwo = (Button) findViewById(R.id.choiceTwoButton);
    mStory.Story();


    //Here is the method that I have added for you
    loadPage(0);
}
