I was playing around with the galleryview and image switcher, and I decided
to implement a textview that describes my images as I scroll through them. I
created a string array, and added a text view in my layout xml. I then added
the string and textview to my code. I thought I could reuse the position int
from the images to get the right string from my array. However, this
addition causes my app to force close when I try to run it.
I have a feeling that I have totally butchered my working java code and you
may very well cringe at what you are about to see. Apologies. I am learning
:)
If anyone could help me out, I would be most grateful. I have attached my
java code, some probably not relevant xml and my logcat.
Regards,
Mark (Java Abuser)
