You've got a "ClassNotFoundException" Can you show me your code? It might be a typo in there that's throwing the exception, but without seeing the code, I have no way to help you out.

Python Development Techdegree Graduate 38,680 PointsThanks Ben, I haven't actually written any code, I've just created a project using the Wizard to add a default activity od Master Detail flow.
When I run it it crashes. Here is the code generated by the system:

* tablet devices by allowing list items to be given an 'activated' state upon
* selection. This helps indicate which item is currently being viewed in a
* {@link BlogPostDetailFragment}.
* <p>
* Activities containing this fragment MUST implement the {@link Callbacks}
* interface.
*/

* clicks.

* implement. This mechanism allows activities to be notified of item
* selections.
*/

}

* A dummy implementation of the {@link Callbacks} interface that does

Python Development Techdegree Graduate 38,680 PointsMoved on a few videos and now know that 3 of the activity files were not created by the wizard (I only have the listfragment).
I think I'll just download the project files. But thanks anyway.

12,365 PointsHey Paul,
I agree with you. Personally, I've been up and down with all of the Android projects. While they are all extremely well done, Android is constantly getting updated (I joined in March, and there was Kitkat released, and last week Android L + build-tools v23.0.2), and almost all the Treehouse projects use support libraries. Sad to say, but I've had to completely restart some of the Android projects because of an update or 2 that caused everything to fall out of sync.
Just my 2 cents in the future, for ALL Android Treehouse projects, just download the project files and import them into Eclipse or Android Studio. This will save you a lot of hassle, which will make learning how to program much easier and way more fun!
