1,957 PointsDoes anybody know how to fix this crash?
To whomever this may concern,
At first, I had a weather app that would Log all the data to the logcat, but unfortunately does not update my User Interface. So, I decided to work a bit with the logcat. So I entered the latitude and longitude of my town. One time I get the timezone for Asia and then I get the timezone for the Arctics. So I had implemented a GPS, I tried it on the emulator and it gave me the message "Unfortunately, Rain-Gig has stopped.". Does anybody know how to fix the crash?", and Does anybody know how to make the code update the User Interface?". I appreciate it.
This is my code for MainActivity.java:

29,119 PointsIt's easier to find if you check or include the error code. In your error, it while say "caused by", and from there you can see what line caused the error.

1,957 PointsThank you for that peice of advice Jacob,
But I do not see a "Caused by: etc."
