Trying to run the Story Activity but its saying unfortunately, Interactive Story has stopped working

Here is my piece. Failing to find were l got wrong

package com.example.alfred.interactivestory.ui;

import android.content.Intent; //import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable; //import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable; import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log;

import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.ImageView; import android.widget.TextView;

import com.example.alfred.interactivestory.R; import com.example.alfred.interactivestory.model.Page; import com.example.alfred.interactivestory.model.Story;

public class StoryActivity extends ActionBarActivity { // private Page[] mPages; public static final String TAG = StoryActivity.class.getSimpleName(); private Story mStory = new Story(); private ImageView mImageView; private TextView mTextView;

private Button mChoice1;
private Button mChoice2;
private  String mName;



@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";
    }
    Log.d(TAG, mName);
  //  mPages = new Page[7];

    mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.storyImageView);
    mTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.storyTextView);
    mChoice1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.choiceButton1);
    mChoice1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.choiceButton2);

    loadPage();
}

private void loadPage(){

    Page page = mStory.getPage(0);

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

    String pageText = page.getText();
    //Add the name if placeholder included. Wont if no placeholder
    pageText = String.format(pageText, mName);

    mTextView.setText(pageText);

    mChoice2.setText(page.getChoice2().getText());

}

}

Hi,

Looks like a small error that can be difficult to see. In your onCreate method you have:

  mChoice1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.choiceButton1);
  mChoice1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.choiceButton2);

The second line should probably be "mChoice2"

Good catch! This was my error coincidentally as well! Thanks
