after making the changes, the user is still getting a force close.. I
had them download aLogCat and run my app and email me the log.. below
is a snippet of what they sent.
I am having trouble pin pointing the issue, the only line Ithat stands
out to me is
at com.myco.myappfree.SplashScreen.onCreate(SplashScreen.java:17)
which line 17 is
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
does anyone see anything I may be missing here.
I have a layout and a layout-land folder in my package and only the
layout folder has splash.xml because I am forcing the portrait
orientation.. Do I even need the layout-land folder at all?
thanks
