"Unfortunately ActiviyLifeCycle has stopped"

[Muhammad Ammar Elahi]

I am learning ActivityLifeCycle from http://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/stopping.html and getting message while running the code "Unfortunately ActiviyLifeCycle has stopped" and I want to know what is Notepad.Notes in values.put(Notepad.Notes.COLUMN_NAME_NOTE, getCurrentNoteText()); how to resolve this issue
Below is the code
**ActivityLifeCycle.java**

package com.example.activitylifecycle;

getContentResolver().update(

values, // The map of column name and new values apply to them

}

@Override

if (!gpsEnabled) {
// Create a dialog here that requests the user to enable GPS, and use an intent
// with the android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS action

}
}

@Override
protected void onRestart() {
super.onRestart(); // Always call the superclass method first

// Activity being restarted from stopped state
}
}

package com.example.activitylifecycle;

public class Notepad {
public class Notes {
public static final String COLUMN_NAME_NOTE = "note";

}
}

Could you send LogCat outputs.
Oh. Please edit your post and put your code into code tag.

Could you please tell me what is Notepad.Notes is it something class values.put(Notepad.Notes.COLUMN_NAME_TITLE, getCurrentNoteTitle()); ?

I am guessing you are missing some point.
You are saving something without creating it.

if you look at your code. You are trying to save instance before calling super.onCreate.

I think you should change your code as follows.
Of course this is first thing came up my mind and i am sure someone in here help you better.

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);


// Save the user's current game state   
savedInstanceState.putInt(STATE_SCORE, mCurrentScore);   
savedInstanceState.putInt(STATE_LEVEL, mCurrentLevel);   
  
// Always call the superclass so it can save the view hierarchy state   
super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);

Brother it is still showing me this error kindly check this i am follow this tutorial developer.android.com

[Muhammad Ammar Elahi]

This issue i am facing what actually is

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();   
values.put(Notepad.Notes.COLUMN_NAME_NOTE, getCurrentNoteText());   
values.put(Notepad.Notes.COLUMN_NAME_TITLE, getCurrentNoteTitle());   

The below class is right?

**Notepad.java**

package com.example.activitylifecycle;

public class Notepad {
public class Notes {
public static final String COLUMN_NAME_NOTE = "note";
public static final String COLUMN_NAME_TITLE = "title";
}
}

[ibrahim yener]

There is no problem with NotePad class. I think when you change your code as i suggested your problem will be solve.

Sorry to hear that.
That's all i can do for now. I am pretty sure Ulf can help you better. When he became online definitely will answer you.

[Muhammad Ammar Elahi]

Ok thanks for giving your time

[Rehan Zahoor]

It seems that savedInstanceState is null. You should notice that you are checking it against null value on line 25 and you have removed
super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState)
from your new code. Add that line in start of method.
You can check your variable values by printing them in logcat.

[Muhammad Ammar Elahi]

Ok i will check it and let you know about that
