Integrating adwhirl with Buzztouch 1.4 on Android,crashes phone

Question

I am trying to add Adwhirl to a Buzztouch app on Android but it crashes the phone. Admob on its own is OK.

The Adwhirl code has been added to the custom text page code in Buzztouch 1.4. I have an app set up in the Adwhirl control panel that uses Admob.

The Admob and Adwhirl SDKs are included in the libs folder and linked to the build path

Manifest extract

Answer 1

It seems like you might be setting your content view with

setContentView(R.layout.screen_customtext);

to a layout id that doesn't exist. That is, R.layout.screen_customtext doesn't seem to be defined in your layout xml.
