Android crash on opening

I was able to use v 1.4 to design my app. While there were errors it still uploaded to marketplace fine. OR Pocket Circulator looks great on the store but when you buy it and attempt to open it, it crashes and asks if you want to force close. Any suggestions?

@TraceCampbell, If you have a android device, connect the device to your computer and open up eclipse. install your app on your device and run your app. Make sue you have logcat open in eclipse so you can see what is causing your app to force close. Logcat is a very powerful tool for catching erors. even if your using the virtual device. With 1.5 you have to use your device or virtual because you can get a real feel of what is going to happen with your app when installed. I'ts easier to correct errors before you release your project if you can see the erors on a live device as opposed to a control panel.

@ TraceCampbellBSNRN, Yes, you'll always want to test your app on, at the very minimum, the emulator. An actual device is even better. If you don't you'll often times end up in a situation like you're in now where you have an app in the market that doesn't work or has unnecessary errors or missing content. So in the future try to keep in mind that testing your app is a crucial step to your success in app creation. Let us know what LogCat displays. There are setup instructions in the README.txt file in your project download folder.
