#1 - Stop right there. Back up. Do yourself a favor and take this all one
step at a time. Trying to do too much at once is going to make you trip and
fall all over the place as many many little things that you should learn
over time hold you back if you try to tackle it all at once. Learn Java on
it's own first, then start your Android project when you have a good grip on
the language.

#3 - For future reference, posting a massive blob of code with no context
makes people's eye glaze over and pass your post by. Only post code when
it's relevant to your problem and it helps the situation.
#4 - The ludicrous amount of hard-coded if-checks offends me =P

#5 - That right there is all you need to know. You're trying to use a
resource that does not exist. Use the stack trace to determine where you're
doing this and stop it.
