Calling MediaRecorder crashes app in AndroidStudio

I am trying to create a class that sets and starts audio recording but as soon as I click the button the app crashes. Iv isolated the problem to where I set the parameters for the MediRecorder.
private void startRec() throws IOException {
if (mrecorder!=null)
mrecorder.release();
mrecorder= new MediaRecorder();
-> mrecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
/*
mrecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
mrecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
mrecorder.setOutputFile(MFILE);
mrecorder.prepare();
mrecorder.start();
*/
}
It crashes when the line with the arrow above the start of the notes is executed. I added the following permission to the manifest as well:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
Any help much appreciated.

what can be the causes that i can not start the service?
what can i add to the mainactivity?
the manifest has all the permissions and the services are registered
the following is my mainactivity
package com.example.newtrack;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.View;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
//start the service
public void onClickStartServie(View V)
{
//start the service from here //MyService is your service class name
startService(new Intent(this, AndroidLocationServices.class));
}
//Stop the started service
public void onClickStopService(View V)
{
//Stop the running service from here//MyService is your service class name
//Service will only stop if it is already running.
stopService(new Intent(this, AndroidLocationServices.class));
}
}
as stated above it has only two onclicks for start and stop service
the main service that is called is the following

if possible please indicate what i should change - following comments made by #neo
any comments are apreciated
thank you very much.

You can see that the exception line below in the trace:
10-12 14:24:07.894: E/AndroidRuntime(1300): at com.example.newtrack.ToggleGPS.turnGPSOn(ToggleGPS.java:53)
This was a bug before that let you enable the settings by sending the broadcast(that is fixed now). So you will need to ask the User to manually enable the GPS settings using the Intent given below.
startActivity(context, new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS));

Unable to instantiate application java.lang.RuntimeException:...BackupDB cannot be cast to android.app.Application

MANIFEST:(partial view)
MainActivity, program immediately terminates and issues the messages in the Log.
It should have started showing the buttons to select options to continue execution.
After days of researching this forum, I found postings that suggest to place the BackupDb inside the application in the Manifest.
After doing that, I ended up with the message in the log.
Having exhausted my research venues, I'd like to know what could be the problem and how to solve it.

Comment:
I removed the BackupDb from the application and reinstated it as activity.
<activity
android:name=".BackupDB"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.peter.databasetest.BACKUPDB" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
The program now brings up the buttons as expected, but when trying the backup I still get the same message as in the earlier log. (Catch-22?)
Most current log:

>Question:
>Is there any known limitation calling an AsyncTask by way of startActivityForResult?
>Could this be a factor?

The problem is in the Manifest file, you are setting your application:name to be te BackupDB class and this class is only an AsyncTask not an Application.
As can be seen on the explanation of "android:name":
An optional name of a class implementing the overall
android.app.Application for this package. [string]

"Unfortunately <myApp> has Stopeed" after running for 45sec on Nexus4

I'm a beginner in Android App Development. Using eclipse to develop a simple Bluetooth shaker app. Tried it on my phone and runs perfectly fine for about 30 seconds. And then it closes saying "Unfortunately TheApp has stopped".
This app is supposed to switch on Bluetooth with a shake and play a beep sound(pop.mp3)
Please Help.

Does it have something to do with Exception Handling? because I'm very bad at that.

Thank you in Advance.

It's hard to say what exactly is null without knowing which line is 163, but a guess would be that there has been an issue while creating the MediaPlayer object here:
m = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.pop);
m.setOnCompletionListener(this);
As the documentation for create states: a MediaPlayer object, or null if creation failed

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);

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 !!

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
