Clearly what you should do to fix this bug is do an Android Tutorial that explains to you how Android works in general such as this guy's videos: [this video] and once you know how **not to instantiate Activities by hand**, and *have dedicated classes to store data that you display rather than merge your "Person" (data) with the Activity (display of data)*, and most importantly **when you know what you are doing**, you should clean out what you've written and re-do it.

I'm currently following Derek Banas's tutorial 1 (url: [this video] ) and i have some errors shown in the log cat. Basically, there's a known issure about the fragment xml and i've solved it. the problem is when there's no errors on my project (no x or ! sign), whenever i run, the app unfortunately stops on my eclipse virtual device. here is my logcat: 06-28 15:21:08.164: E/AndroidRuntime(1065): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 06-28 15:21:08.164: E/AndroidRuntime(1065): Process: com.example.myfirstapp, PID: 1065 06-28 15:21:08.164: E/AndroidRuntime(1065): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.myfirstapp/com.example.myfirstapp.MainActivity}: android.view.InflateExcep
