so i got logCat working (good thing to know about) and i got the this actually working (think it had to be inside a method?) The real problem, maybe from the start, is that whenever it calls "music.start()", music being the media player, it crashes. The debugger shows that music is null and i'm assuming that it shouldn't be. Any ideas?
