3,523 PointsCrystal Ball App not starting
I'm working on the Android track and working on the Crystal Ball project, I've followed the course, done everything, but the app won't start. It gives me a black screen for a bit, then exits to the main screen. After that it gives me a notification that the Crystal Ball app didn't start. Why does this happen?
BTW I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 device for testing.

3,523 PointsThere's nothing in the LogCat there that I could find information from as to why this happens. And I have tried restarting my phone, but it still won't work.
