Um, by using the debugger, or if you don't want to do that, by looking at the logs?
You appear to have gotten an application compiled and built, yet are unaware of the development environment. I can't quite figure how you got to this point in your exploration, so I'm not sure what help you need. So let's check a few basics. Are you aware: * There IS a debugger? * There IS a view in the IDE to show you the log from the device (or emulator)? That would show the stack trace (including line numbers) for the error in question? * That the debugger supports breakpoints, and single stepping? * That the debugger also supports breaking on exceptions? * That the debugger for Android works essentially the same way as for any other Java code? * That the error message you see is the default one presented to end users, and is not INTENDED to help developers? Any negative answer would be a clue about where to start reading and exploring.
