I cannot understand what's the problem!.

Here's the activity_main.xml

  <LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:paddingTop="16dp"
android:paddingBottom="16dp"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:orientation="vertical">

<TextView android:text="Quantity"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
    />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/quantity_text_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="0"
    android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
    />
<Button
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Button"
    android:onClick="SubmitOrder"
    />

</LinearLayout>

Is there anything wrong in the code?

MainActivity.java

package com.example.sham_tech.lastchance;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;

/**
 * This app displays an order form to order coffee.
 */
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

/**
 * This method is called when the order button is clicked.
 */
public void submitOrder(View view) {
    display(1);
}

/**
 * This method displays the given quantity value on the screen.
 */
private void display(int number) {
    TextView quantityTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.quantity_text_view);
    quantityTextView.setText("" + number);
}
}

I have tried to solve it for more than 4 days and there is no result. Please help me!

Answer 1

The problem is that it's looking for a file named "abc_ic_ab_back_material.xml" in your res/drawable/ directory and it's not finding it. Make sure you have that file in that location.

Answer 2

The code you have pasted here did not have referenced the

abc_ic_ab_back_material

1. If you have used it in the other code, so find if you have the resource named abc_ic_ab_back_material under res/drawable/, if not found, just get one.
2. If you did not have used it anywhere, just clean you project and rebuild.
