How to fix 'IllegalStateException' (fatal exception) in android studio?

I am new to Android Studio and trying to build a calculator which performs addition. On executing the app on my phone there is an error which says 'IllegalStateException' and there is a message displayed on my phone saying that has app has stopped working. Some help please.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public void onButtonClick(View v) throws IllegalStateException
{
EditText e1 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
EditText e2 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText2);
TextView t1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.view);
int num1 = Integer.parseInt(e1.getText().toString());
int num2 = Integer.parseInt(e2.getText().toString());
int RESULT = num1+num2;
t1.setText(Integer.toString(RESULT));
}
}
The stack trace after running after entering the values

This is the error:

android.widget.TextView at

in this line:
TextView t1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.view);
because R.id.view is the id of a View, not a TextView (check your layout xml).
You need to make that view a textview in your layout file.

try this:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public void onButtonClick(View view){
EditText e1 = view.findViewById(R.id.editText1);
EditText e2 = view.findViewById(R.id.editText2);
TextView t1 = view.findViewById(R.id.view);
int num1 = Integer.parseInt(e1.getText().toString());
int num2 = Integer.parseInt(e2.getText().toString());
int result = num1+num2;
t1.setText(Integer.toString(result));
}
}

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not execute method for android:onClick in android

I am fairly new to Android and creating my first app. I am using using following code:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
int netScore = 0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public void addOne(View view) {
netScore = netScore + 1;
displayScore(netScore);
}
private void displayScore(int printScore) {
TextView varScore = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.score);
varScore.setText(printScore);
}
}
When I click the button, it throws this error in debug:
FATAL EXCEPTION: main

Does anybody have an idea about this error?

Did try adding the onClick in the xml-layout like this?
android:onClick="method"
If so, make sure that there are no typos.
In your case it would probably be:
android:onClick="addOne"
You can also listen for the click events programmatically. Check out this.

You can set the TextView in OnCreate method:
TextView varScore = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.score);
after that add the ClickListener to the varScore:
enter code here
varScope.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// do anything whatever you want
}
});
At first, try to initiate the TextView in the onCreate method.
BTW could you please show us your .xml file?

New Activity crashes on startup [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?

Closed 6 years ago.
When clicking a Button to switch from the main Activity to my "ColoursGame" Activity the app crashes.
I'm still a beginner so not an expert at debugging.
The main activity code
Button colorsGame = (Button) findViewById(R.id.colours);
colorsGame.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, ColoursGame.class));
}
});
Manifest new activity
<activity android:name=".ColoursGame"
android:label="ColourGame"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"></activity>
ColoursGame Activity OnCreate code
public class ColoursGame extends Activity {
int livesCount = 3;
String x;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_colours_game);
Button start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startColors);
start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
vSwitch.showNext();
x = String.valueOf(livesCount);
lives.setText(x);
text();
textColor();
backgroundColor();
start();
}
});
}

Don't call findViewById outside of onCreate, there's no Window to call findViewById at that point.
If you still get a NullPointer, then you must have #+id/startColors in activity_colours_game.xml
Answer explanation here

Button start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startColors);
According to the error you are trying to reach a button that doesnt exist in your activity layout file (whatever it is). Check the id of your button and make sure it is placed on the layout page that related with your "ColoursGame" Activity.

Basically the error occurs when I am updating a variable by pressing a button and then trying to display the value of the variable with a toast in the same task.
public class Mahlzeiten extends AppCompatActivity {
public static int proteine = 0;
public static int carbs = 0;
public static int fette = 0;
public static int kcal = 0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_mahlzeiten);
String text = "Hallo" + proteine + "danke";
Toast.makeText(Mahlzeiten.this, text, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void aldirindersalami (int proteine){
proteine++;
// String text1 = "Hallo" + proteine + "danke";
// Toast.makeText(Mahlzeiten.this, text1, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

You have an onClick listener set in the xml but you didn't implement the onClick method in the code. You need the following method
public void aldirindersalami(View v) {}
to handle the click on the button.

Move all three of your statements like this one:
uname = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.username);
into onCreate(), after your setContentView() call, for two reasons:
In general, you cannot safely call methods that you inherit from Activity until after super.onCreate() has been called
You specifically cannot call findViewById() until you actually have the views, such as by calling setContentView()

Take these three line of code to oncreate method after the setcontentview method recall. That initializes your view and your NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION will not happen.
uname = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.username);
pword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);
btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
