java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity in android app

Question

I have an activity with 3 buttons to start the same activity but with different layouts.Button 2 & 3 are working but button 1 is giving a runtime exception (the app is crashing).This is the source code:

       public class Choose extends Activity implements OnClickListener{

    Button sniper;
    Button machine;
    Button colt;
    int btnsound;
    Intent t;

    SoundPool spool;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.choose);


        t = new Intent(Choose.this, MainActivity.class);
        sniper=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        machine=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button2); 
        colt=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button3);
        colt.setOnClickListener(this);
        sniper.setOnClickListener(this);
        machine.setOnClickListener(this);
        this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
        spool = new SoundPool(1, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);       
        btnsound= spool.load(this, R.raw.btn, 1);






    }


      public void btnsound(){
            AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
            float volume = (float) audioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
            spool.play(btnsound, volume, volume, 1, 0, 1f);
            }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        switch(v.getId()) {


        case R.id.button1:

            t.putExtra("button", 1);
            startActivity(t); 
            btnsound();
          break;

        case R.id.button2:


            t.putExtra("button", 2);
            startActivity(t); 
            btnsound();
          break;

        case R.id.button3:


            t.putExtra("button", 3);
            startActivity(t); 
            btnsound();
          break;


    }

    }


}

is rather obvious. You are calling a method on reference that points to nothing on line 73 in MainActivity.java.

for those of you with the crash when you click the register button. i removed this bit of code from the register.java file and now it works.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH){ ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); actionBar.hide();

}
