In case it's still relevant, you need to move
mChoice1.setText(mCurrentPage.getChoice1().getText()); mChoice2.setText(mCurrentPage.getChoice2().getText()); inside of the else brackets. It should work then.

public class StoryActivity extends ActionBarActivity { -> Line 18

public static final String TAG = StoryActivity.class.getSimpleName();

private Story mStory = new Story();
private ImageView mImageView;

private String mName;
private Page mCurrentPage;

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

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

    if (mName == null) {
        mName = "Friend";

    mCurrentPage = mStory.getPage(choice);

    Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(mCurrentPage.getImageId());
    mImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);

Muzammil is right, that's the exact problem I had, and the fix I used.
