I'm certainly not an expert, but it looks like you are calling findViewById before it is ready. You should probably avoid calling it until after you have called setContentView in onCreate.

From the documentation for findViewById: "Finds a view that was identified by the id attribute from the XML that was processed in onCreate(Bundle)."

From the documentation for onCreate: "Called when the activity is starting. This is where most initialization should go: calling setContentView(int) to inflate the activity's UI, using findViewById(int) to programmatically interact with widgets in the UI, ..."

Of course, I am not an expert, but it looks like before you call findViewById, it has been ready. You should avoid calling it until you setContentView in onCreate.
