Unfortunately, app has stopped

Question

I'm new on programming. I stuck at the start... when i try to run on the emulator, emulator starts but application can't open. anyone could solve that problem.. thanks!

MainActivity.java

 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    final TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);

    Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            tv.setText("JustNope");
        }
    });

    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment())
                .commit();
    }
}

Move

final TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);

Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        tv.setText("JustNope");
    }
});

into onCreateView of your PlaceholderFragment

button1 and textView1 are in fragment_main.xml while in your Activity you are inflating activity_main.xml

It's because you are writing code in the wrong place. Write the code in the fragment as shown below:

final TextView tv = (TextView)rootview.findViewById(R.id.textView1);

Button btn = (Button) rootview.findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        tv.setText("JustNope");
    }
});

Unfortunately, *app* has stopped
