Treehouse TeacherI just published a new version of this course that will hopefully be a smoother, more enjoyable process. Check it out! It covers a lot of the same material, so don't feel pressured to work on both.

Treehouse Project ReviewerIt can be tough to decipher an error from logcat for the first few months of Android development.
The line that gives the problem away is:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v7.appcompat.R$styleable
Try to follow some of the solutions from this stack overflow question.
