FATAL EXCEPTION: main on Android App

I'm getting this fatal exception: main error. It is only when I click on the 'Pick A Place' button on my app.
The logcat report when clicking on the 'Pick A Place' button is below:

The logcat points to a 'NoSuchMethodError' when checking for 'self permission' to do with the method 'calculateCurrentCooridnates'. This method is below:

return;
}
Location recentLoc = locMgr.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
lat = (float) recentLoc.getLatitude();
lon = (float) recentLoc.getLongitude();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(DEBUG_TAG, "Location failed", e);
}
mFavPlaceCoords = new GPSCoords(lat, lon);
}
The ToDo was automatically generated when Android Studio automatically added the '#TargetAPI' bit. With this in mind I added the following to the manifest and as I got no more errors I thought this would be enough:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
However, the app just crashes.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Extending AppCompatActivity will solve the issue.

Do like this
public class SettingsActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

Android communication between activity and service

I'm trying to implement a system service on Android with inter-process communication based on binding a messenger. For this I'm following this tutorial:
http://www.survivingwithandroid.com/2014/01/android-bound-service-ipc-with-messenger.html
But no matter what I'm trying, i can't get it to work.
I found different tutorials online but in the end they are all based on the same procedure.
The app will crash right away when I'm trying to communicate with the service.

Your problem is that the messanger property is null. You are experiencing concurrency problem. The bindService method is asynchronous - it returns immediately and performs the binding in a background thread. When the binding is done, the onServiceConnected method is invoked. When you try to send the message, the messanger is still not initialized because the onServiceConnected method is hasn't been executed yet.

Application code used to work but now crashes

Thing is my application used to run PERFECTLY but then i wanted to change packages names and classes names so i created another project and copy pasted my code and did the changes there. no error in eclipse but app crashes now !! here's whats my app is about:

this app will be exported into a JAR file and then included into another app as a library using build path; and here's what i wrote in this new app:
public class LocationTheApp extends Activity {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
LocationMobileUser LMU = new LocationMobileUser (this);
Location location = LMU.getLocation();
GsmCellLocation CellLocation = LMU.getCellLocation();
String URL = LocationMobileUser.URL;
LocationMobileUser.GetXMLTask xmlp = LMU.new GetXMLTask();
String Provider = LMU.getProvider(location);
String isp = xmlp.getOutputFromUrl(URL);
String latLongString = LMU.updateWithNewLocation(location);
String cidlacString = LMU.CellLacLocation(CellLocation);
String operator = LMU.getSimOperator();
TextView myLocationText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myLocationText);
myLocationText.setText("Your current GPS position is:\n" + latLongString);
TextView myprovider = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myprovider);
myprovider.setText("\nYour GPS position is provided by:\n" + Provider);
TextView myCellLocation = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.mycelllocation);
myCellLocation.setText("\nYour current Cell position is:\n" + cidlacString);
TextView myOperator = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myoperator);
myOperator.setText("\nYour GSM operator is:\n" + operator);
TextView myispText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myispText);
myispText.setText("\nYour current ISP is:\n" + isp);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
Code contains no errors !!
if its any use here's my Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Tried to toggle the package name in the Manifest between locationmobileuser and locationtheapp but still app crashes !!
As i said used to work like a charm in my previous projects !!

Any help would be really appreciated !!

see the package name of menifest
package="com.example.locationmobileuser
and activity package name both should be same change this package
<activity
android:name="com.example.locationtheapp.LocationTheApp"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

you need to add empty constructor in your locationmobileuser class.
public LocationMobileUser(){
}

don't need to do all these things , just go to old project and right click on the project ->> refactor to rename project name or package name

How to upload images to dropbox?

I have made a mistake, i have put dropbox session in my own defined function uploadDropbox(), and thats a an error causes NullPointerException, because if i print mDBApi so its NULL. Its not been intialized. We have to put these lines in onCreate() and now its working, images are uploading in CameraUploads folder in Dropbox.
Thanks for comments.

how to send an email?

I'm trying to develop an application to send an email from a specific email id. it won't execute and force close, why so ? And Is there any way to send email please have a look on my code.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button send = null;
EditText mailid = null
String emailId = null;
ConnectivityManager conMan = null;
NetworkInfo Info = null;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
send = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
mailid = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
send.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
conMan = (ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
Info = conMan.getActiveNetworkInfo();
emailId = mailid.getText().toString();
if (Info == null) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "no net connection ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
try {
GmailSender sender = new GmailSender("karuna.java#gmail.com", "heohiby");
sender.sendMail("This is Subject",
"This is Body how r u ..",
"karuna.java#gmail.com",
emailId);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("SendMail", e.getMessage(), e);
}
}
}
});
}
}
here the GmailSender
public class GmailSender extends javax.mail.Authenticator {
private String mailhost = "smtp.gmail.com";
private String user;
private String password;
private Session session;
static {
Security.addProvider(new com.provider.JSSEProvider());
}
public GmailSender(String user, String password) {
this.user = user;
this.password = password;
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
props.setProperty("mail.host", mailhost);
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",
"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
props.setProperty("mail.smtp.quitwait", "false");
session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, this);
}
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(user, password);
}
public synchronized void sendMail(String subject, String body, String sender, String recipients)throws Exception {
try {
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
DataHandler handler = new DataHandler(new ByteArrayDataSource(body.getBytes(), "text/plain"));
message.setSender(new InternetAddress(sender));
message.setSubject(subject);
message.setDataHandler(handler);
if (recipients.indexOf(',') > 0)
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(recipients));
else
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(recipients));
Transport.send(message);
} catch (Exception e) {}
}
public class ByteArrayDataSource implements DataSource {
private byte[]data;
private String type;
public ByteArrayDataSource(byte[]data, String type) {
super();
this.data = data;
this.type = type;
}
public ByteArrayDataSource(byte[]data) {
super();
this.data = data;
}
public void setType(String type) {
this.type = type;
}
public String getContentType() {
if (type == null)
return "application/octet-stream";
else
return type;
}
public InputStream getInputStream()throws IOException {
return new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
}
public String getName() {
return "ByteArrayDataSource";
}
public OutputStream getOutputStream()throws IOException {
throw new IOException("Not Supported");
}
}
}
and the provider
public final class JSSEProvider extends Provider {
public JSSEProvider() {
super("HarmonyJSSE", 1.0, "Harmony JSSE Provider");
AccessController.doPrivileged(new java.security.PrivilegedAction < Void > () {
public Void run() {
put("SSLContext.TLS",
"org.apache.harmony.xnet.provider.jsse.SSLContextImpl");
put("Alg.Alias.SSLContext.TLSv1", "TLS");
put("KeyManagerFactory.X509",
"org.apache.harmony.xnet.provider.jsse.KeyManagerFactoryImpl");
put("TrustManagerFactory.X509",
"org.apache.harmony.xnet.provider.jsse.TrustManagerFactoryImpl");
return null;
}
});
}
}

shows error here:
GmailSender sender = new GmailSender("karuna.java#gmail.com", "heohiby");

Your problem at the moment is that you haven't declared a <uses-permission> in the Android.manifest.
The method getActiveNetworkInfo() requieres ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission.
You need to put this in your Android.manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

Are the correct permissions in the manifest?
also be sure to read this:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/gmail/XD0C4sw9K7U/LpNXxFNnfgc
the permissions used to be:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="googlecode.email.to.sms" android:versionCode="2"

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

</activity>
</application>

I haven't worked with Gmail in a few in Android but hopefully this will help.
