I am getting an exception in a very simple 'study' application, so I expect the problem to be in my project setup, but I don't know how to debug ...
What is the context of the exception, "ExceptionInInitializationError"?
Where is it documented? A: Search Android Developers Guide
Stack trace from within Eclipse Debugger with: select thread - right-click - copy stack
