YOUR Tech Support Thread!

Hello once again, /OT!

Welcome to possibly my best thread yet! YOUR Tech Support Thread!

In this thread, (which I will keep from the Necroforums using forum witchcraft/Bumpcraft), you can post your PC, iOS, Mac (?Experimental?) and Linux/Unix problems and issues and questions here! I will attempt to assist you, but I call upon the community to help battle the endless hordes of fail that bombards our systems day by day. Please contribute!

If you want to contact me directly, and get 1-on-1 tech support for your problem, send me a forum PM. PMs = Priority, but please throw questions out into the thread as I check it daily, and you may get helped faster as someone knowledgable might be on the thread at that time.

Issues don't matter. I can help with anything. Yep, anything (hopefully).

I specialise in OS un/installation, malware removal and security, optimisation, driver issues, iOS firmware and a lot more, so DO NOT hesitate to post your issue!

Thanks for reading, and I hope I can help you with whatever you need assistance with.

Imm0/Nerd.

Here. When this app starts, it force closes. I'm new to java and I don't know what could've happened. This is the code:




package com.thenewboston.travis;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class TheNewBostonActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
int counter;
Button add, sub;
TextView display;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
counter = 0;
add = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bAdd);
add = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bSub);
display = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvDisplay);
add.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
counter = counter + 1;
display.setText("Your total is " + counter);
}
});
sub.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
counter = counter - 1;
display.setText("Your total is " + counter);
}
});
}
}




And this is main.xml

Hi Zate, welcome to the thread!

I don't have much experience with Java, but I will really look into this. Before I have a solid answer to give you, there are a couple of things you can try doing:

1: Redo it all.

Yep. I know that sounds crazy, but turn the resolution up on the video so that you can see everything more easily, and start over. I program in Visual Basic mostly (although I'm going to learn C++ so that I can actually make something useful) and I can't remember how many times I've copied some code to the letter, (or thought I had), and recieved errors. But, with a simple remake, paying more attention, all was well.

2: Look for spelling mistakes and incorrect spaces.

Another common fix that works for a lot of people. Surf through your code and look for spelling mistakes. I know, sounds stupid, but it's a very common problem. Code typos = fail. Spaces can also be a problem. Have should the code be lolcodeexample1, or lolcodeexample 1? Make sure it's all good.

Give those things a try, and I'll look into the problem. I'll give you a proper answer ASAP.

Good luck.

Bump for help.

Still looking into the java issue.

To make up for the inconvenience, I would like you all to have a meme.

Sorry if I didn't answer, but, I'm having proverbs with internet. I've done it again and it worked, literally copied and pasted...
Thanks.
I'm also happy to see someone other that started with VB. I'll ask more about VB when I'll have a better connection

Got my Wi-Fi back but I'm in Corse for a week.
I started programming in Visual Basic a few weeks ago.
Here's the question: when you finish a game, you get a score. I want to store this score and get it back when another form opens, like an offline leaderboard. Having an online leaderboard would be awesome, but I'm pretty sure it's a bit hard for me...
Sorry if I won't answer you, but I don't know if I'll have a Wi-Fi.
Thanks a lot for making this thread <3

Thanks

Bump. This thread n33ds m0ar problems.
