"Fun Facts keeps stopping" error on my emulator

Hi Nyle,

If you find the 'LogCat' - it's usually at the bottom of the Android Studio screen when the app runs - you'll find a load of red coloured text when your app throws an error. In there, it'll give you (in a roundabout way) the reason for the issue.

Copy that in here and we can get it fixed. Maybe post your code too as there's likely to be a small issue causing the code to stop. The error log will let us know what that is.

Steve.

I only just noticed that you have an import line relating to a resource. You need to move that.

The line:

import static... showFactButton... 

Delete it for now. Let's see what that does.

I will send the code later on but I also wanted to know what type of coding language I would need to know to make security and data base programs.
