259 PointsEmulator not rendering app (Crystal Ball)
When I attempt to run the emulator the Crystal Ball app does not appear. In the error logs, I see a repeating error of (java.lang.NullPointerException) with an elaborate list of associated errors:

Any idea on what's causing this and how to fix it would be appreciated.

Treehouse TeacherThe most important line is actually the one that says NullPointerException. :) Can you paste that one in here as well? That tells you which line of code the error is occurring at.

259 PointsHi Ben. I managed to address the NullPointerException. However, it is now not rendering the new code in the emulator. I am getting no error messages, but rather a message in the console that states:
[2014-04-01 07:29:24 - CrystalBall] ActivityManager: Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front
From what I understand this has to do with the app not compiling correctly. I tried uninstalling the app and restarting the emulator, but to no luck. It still renders the old code base (prior to us breaking it out into the CrystalBall and MainActivity classes).
