Java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo Error in Android

Question

Apology for another question but it seems I am stuck at a dead end again. My application has been tested in two separate projects and they work perfectly. However, after combining them I get a Fatal Exception error when I open the app. Ive spent the last few hours trying to resolve the issue and research a solution but nothing has worked so far. Keep in mind that I am new to programming and am unsure where the problem is.

Also apology for so much code. I did think about just posting the error log but was not sure if the code or xml files would be useful just encase. The code does work fine, I have tested it in individual projects but after combining the code carefully, for some reason, it comes up with this error. Thanks!!!

Edit: Resolved the problem in comments. Prob delete question soon. Thanks for those who took a look :)

SaveTimer savetimer = new SaveTimer(motionData, this); motionData is null, you haven't initialize it? — Lowkey

Oh.. forgot to add motionData = new ArrayList<String>(); O_O It works now, thanks for spotting that :D — MoMo

Oh yeah I was intending to but was not sure how to accept from comments, was waiting for the tick answer thingy :P Thanks for the help! :D — MoMo
