Problem with set content view (android program)

I have encounter some problem while trying to add buttons to my camera preview frame and i found out that when i add this line "setContentView(R.layout.main);" my program crashes. below is my code and my main.xml. Be note that the xml is default generated and nothing had been modified.

My Code

    package camera.test;

You are getting your error on

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

It's much simpler to declare an activity as having no title in the manifest by having the title be empty.

Take a look at this document and you might be able to understand how this works a bit better.

Good luck!

---

The error you got is due to this line:

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

It has to be called just after the call to the parent method. In your case, you won't have any crash with that order:

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
