Speech-To-Text App Error

Question

I cannot make a simple Speech-To-Text app work (I'm new to Java). I have been working on this code for several days and refuses to launch due to these errors:

As discussed in another stackoverflow question Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.view.Window$Callback android.view.Window.getCallback()' on a null object reference

An Activity is not fully initialized and ready to look up views until after setContentView(...) is called in onCreate().

So only declare the fields uninitialized and then assign the values in onCreate:
