Android Studio: App is crashing after running it on my smartphone

Question

On every app start there is a error message on my phone: "The Application was ended, sorry". What can I do now? I already searched the web and I tried to solve it, but I didn't found a answer.

This is my logcat output:

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.widget.RatingBar;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    Button btnplus = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnplus);
    RatingBar ratingbar = (RatingBar)findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);


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

    public void plusonclick()
    {
        if (ratingbar.getRating() == 1)
        {
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_plusrechnenlvl1);
        }
    }

}

My English skills are not the best, but I hope you can understand me :)

Thank you very much!

you have to write following in onCreate after

setContentView()
Button btnplus = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnplus);
    RatingBar ratingbar = (RatingBar)findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);

like below.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    Button btnplus;
    RatingBar ratingbar;


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

     btnplus = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnplus);
     ratingbar = (RatingBar)findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);
    }

    public void plusonclick()
    {
        if (ratingbar.getRating() == 1)
        {
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_plusrechnenlvl1);
        }
    }

}

Thank you very much! It works! :) – Jul Jul 24 '17 at 13:33 — Jul, Jul 24 '17 at 13:33
