I am writing a basic application which contains two activities. Both contain a TextView showing
the title and
the first one contains an EditText in which
the user types a message and clicks on a button on its side,
the second activity is launched which shows
the message
the user types.
It has
the following problems:
The title (the first TextView in both
the activities) doesn't show in
the middle of
the line, despite of
the android:gravity="center_horizontal" attribute.
The EditText in
the first activity does not show at all.
When I click on
the button,
the app stops saying "Unfortunately Write n Display and stopped.", rather than launching
the second activity at all.
I don't have adequate knowledge about logcat, but I have followed
the steps somebody had told me, that is WindowOpen Perspective Other DDMS Then run
the app and select
the package name from
the Devices and click on log cat, select
the exception(s) and export to text file.
All contained in
the text file is : : E/(): Device disconnected: 1
Since I am not sure of using log cat, so I am posting a screenshot to make clear what I have done.
