Hey buddy, have you checked your log? What is the error that is being logged in your logcat?

There are a lot of errors in logcat, don't know where it came from and how to fix...... like this one: 03-22 02:29:30.050 674-685/com.android.systemui E/JavaBinder: *** Uncaught remote exception! (Exceptions are not yet supported across processes.) java.lang.RuntimeException: android.os.DeadObjectException at android.os.Parcel.writeException(Parcel.java:1373) at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:410) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method) Caused by: android.os.DeadObjectException at android.os.BinderProxy.transact(Native Method) at android.content.IIntentReceiver$Stub$Proxy.performReceive(IIntentReceiver.java:124) at android.app.ActivityThread$ApplicationThread.scheduleRegisteredReceiver(ActivityThread.java:816) at android.app.ApplicationThreadNative.onTransact(ApplicationThreadNative.java:394)

sure! Here is MainActivity: package com.example.shahzad.interactivestory.ui;

import android.content.Intent; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText;

import com.example.shahzad.interactivestory.R;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private EditText mNameEditText;
private Button mStartButton;

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

    mNameEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.nameEditText);
    mStartButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startButton);

    mStartButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            String name = mNameEditText.getText().toString();
            //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, name, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            startStory(name);
        }
    });
}
private void startStory(String name){

    Intent intent = new Intent(this, StoryActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra(getString(R.string.key_name), name);
    startActivity(intent);
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    mNameEditText.setText("");
}

}
