Please provide your code or we will not be able to see what is wrong.

Check this out though. I think you have mistake in creating String resource

Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Drawable com.example.intractivestory:string/page0 with resource ID #0x7f0b0029 Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: File On your return trip from studying Saturn's rings, you hear a distress signal that seems to be coming from the surface of Mars. It's strange because there hasn't been a colony there in years. Even stranger, it's calling you by name: "Help me, %1$s, you're my only hope." from drawable resource ID #0x7f0b0029

This is the Story class:

package com.example.intractivestory.model;

import com.example.intractivestory.R;

public class Story { private Page[] pages;

public Story() {
    pages = new Page[7];

    pages[0] = new Page(R.drawable.page0,
            R.string.page0,
            new Choice(R.string.page0_choice1, 1),
            new Choice(R.string.page0_choice2, 2));

    pages[1] = new Page(R.drawable.page1,
            R.string.page1,
            new Choice(R.string.page1_choice1, 3),
            new Choice(R.string.page1_choice2, 4));

    pages[2] = new Page(R.drawable.page2,
            R.string.page2,
            new Choice(R.string.page2_choice1, 4),
            new Choice(R.string.page2_choice2, 6));

    pages[3] = new Page(R.drawable.page3,
            R.string.page3,
            new Choice(R.string.page3_choice1, 4),
            new Choice(R.string.page3_choice2, 5));

    pages[4] = new Page(R.drawable.page4,
            R.string.page4,
            new Choice(R.string.page4_choice1, 5),
            new Choice(R.string.page4_choice2, 6));

    pages[5] = new Page(R.drawable.page5, R.string.page5);

    pages[6] = new Page(R.drawable.page6, R.string.page6);
}

public Page getPage(int pageNo) {
    if (pageNo >= pages.length) {
        pageNo = 0;
    }
    return pages[pageNo];
}

}

This is StoryActivity page:

package com.example.intractivestory.ui;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity; import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat; import android.content.Intent; import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.ImageView; import android.widget.TextView;

import com.example.intractivestory.R; import com.example.intractivestory.model.Page; import com.example.intractivestory.model.Story;

public class StoryActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private Story story; private String name; private ImageView storyImageView; private TextView storyTextView; private Button choice1Button; private Button choice2Button;

public static final String TAG = StoryActivity.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_story);

    storyImageView = findViewById(R.id.storyImageView);
    storyTextView = findViewById(R.id.storyTextView);
    choice1Button = findViewById(R.id.choice1Button);
    choice2Button = findViewById(R.id.choice2Button);

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    name = intent.getStringExtra(getString(R.string.key_name));
    Log.d(TAG, name);

    story = new Story();
    pageLoad(0);
}

private void pageLoad(int pageNo) {
    Page page = story.getPage(pageNo);
    Drawable image = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, page.getImageId());
    storyImageView.setImageDrawable(image);

    String pageText = getString(page.getTextId());
    pageText = String.format(pageText, name);
    storyTextView.setText(pageText);
    choice1Button.setText(page.getChoice1().getTextId());
    choice2Button.setText(page.getChoice2().getTextId());
}

}
