Java Resource errors

We are having a resource error when we try to run our code.
package com.example.searchtest;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.SearchManager;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class GoogleSearchIntentActivity extends Activity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
editTextInput = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextInput);
}
public void onSearchClick(View v)

try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_WEB_SEARCH);

intent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, term);

these are our mainActivity.java, activity_main.xml, and AndroidManifest.xml codes from our app.
The error is within our public class GoogleSearchIntentActivity extends Activity
We are high school students trying to create an image search app for our computer science capstone class, we have been trying to fix this error without success, and our teacher is completely clueless.

Components in your xml file must have a first capitalized letter.

One of the two setContentView() not working

This is the code I have written. I have implemented LocationListener methods which I did not paste here. I felt it is unnecessary.
Here I want the activity_main.xml to be displayed for the first launch. So I used SharedPreferences as explained here. Even when the app is launched for the first time, the activity_main.xml is not showing up. The Toast notification saying Registration started is displayed so I know the if statement is getting executed. I can't figure out why activity_map is always loading.
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements LocationListener{
EditText d_name,d_phone,d_email;
Button submit=null;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences("hello", MODE_PRIVATE);
if(pref.getBoolean("firststart", true)){
//Checking weather this is executed or not
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Registration started",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//setting layout on the screen
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// update sharedpreference - another start wont be the first
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = pref.edit();
editor.putBoolean("firststart", false);
editor.commit(); // apply changes
// first start, show your dialog | first-run code goes here
d_name = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.d_name);
d_phone = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.d_phone);
d_email = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.d_mail);
submit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.submit);
submit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
final String name = d_name.getText().toString();
final long ph =Long.parseLong(d_phone.getText().toString());
final String mail = d_email.getText().toString();
'
'
.(Save to db)
}});
}
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
initializeMap();
}

This
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
is always getting called because it runs after everythin g in if. You need an if/else
if(pref.getBoolean("firststart", true)){
// do all your stuff
} else {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
// do anything else that should run if not first start
}

setContentView() is called twice in your code. Make sure that in your onCreate() the setContentView() is encountered only once in all flows. Here you need to have an else statement.
From my experience, I would suggest that you call setContentView() outside the If/Else, i.e, have just one layout. Then, based on the condition alter the stuff inside the layout. I suggest this, because this would later become a maintenance nightmare.

You are putting wrong setContentView(R.layout.activity_map); . Little mistake in your statement .
Where is your else {} Part
At first Set if-else block properly .

When i click on my button my app crashes

i'm fairly new to coding but decided i would take the huge plunge into the ocean without knowing how to swim, anyway my button keeps failling to open my new activity when i click on it, instead it just crashes. when I run it on my emulator i get a message saying that it has stopped. I'm using a genymotion emulator and the darcula android studio version.
My main activity.xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

My java
package quirkykoders.flash_flash;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static Button button_sbm;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
OnClickButtonListener();
}
public void OnClickButtonListener() {
button_sbm = (Button)findViewById(R.id.unpressed_button);
button_sbm.setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent ("quirkykoders.flash_flash.Pressed_Button");
startActivity(intent);
}
}
);
}
}
Any help will be greatly appreciated

When you want to create A new Activity you have to send two parameters in the intent object First is currentActivity name and the second is CallingActivity name
Intent intent=new Intent(MainActivity.this,Pressed_Button.class);
startActivity(intent);

Android Getting Runtime Error While Starting App

ERROR LOG

The error message states that you are making a call to system services, before they are available. This is because you are calling them in the onCreate() method. Move the calls you are making in your Menu.java class (not included here, so can't tell you exactly which calls you are making) to another lifecycle method - onCreateView() is probably best for an Activity (onAttach() is a good one for Fragments).

MapView not working [android]

i have a little trouble with the android mapview. It simply crashes every time i try to open the app!
