How do i get myfirstapp to work on android studio?

i am new to android studio and trying to get the my first app running. The hello world function works fine but the app closes whenever i press the send button in the second application.
The website tutorial i have based this off can be found here: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity
Here are my codes:
Mainactivity.java
package com.example.myfirstapp;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import static android.provider.AlarmClock.EXTRA_MESSAGE;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public static final String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.example.myfirstapp.MESSAGE";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
/** Called when the user taps the Send button */
public void sendMessage(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
DisplayMessageActivity.java
package com.example.myfirstapp;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class DisplayMessageActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_message);
// Get the Intent that started this activity and extract the string
Intent intent = getIntent();
String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
// Capture the layout's TextView and set the string as its text
TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView.setText(message);
}
}
AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.myfirstapp">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.MyFirstApp">
<activity android:name=".DisplayMessageActivity"
android:parentActivityName=".MainActivity">
<!-- The meta-data tag is required if you support API level 15 and lower -->
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value=".MainActivity" />
</activity>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks

Cannot say causes the app to close without the logcat
but it could be because of it could not find the Edittext in the sendMessage method.
The id need to be the same in the xml and java files. In your case the edittext id edit_message
/** Called when the user taps the Send button */
public void sendMessage(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_message);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
startActivity(intent);
}
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_message"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="#string/edit_message"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#+id/button"

There is your xml layout file.

Android program stopped working as soon as button is clicked

I am very new to Android app making, but I'm able to understand java. The program which I'm making, should return relative frequency of characters that are in the text that person will write in the program (input text is meant to be written in EditText field with id inputText, and as soon as person will click button with id continueButton, onClick the program should continue with onClickFindRelevancy method). The code seems fine to me, but the problem is still occuring. I am able to input the text, but as soon as I click the button, then the app stops working and I just can't figure out what is wrong... What do I need to change in code (what is wrong), for the program to do what is intended?
I really tried to find a solution to my problem, but didn't find something like I have (just seeing the code snippets that someone else had problems with), so I hope that this topic won't be closed, because I tried and really didn't find the solution. Have been trying for some time now.

You should use error stack trace, as suggested in comments. See this link.
The mistake is that you use getString method to convert a char to String.
In Android, this is the method of Activity (and Context) to get a string from resources (i. e. when you are localizing your app).
You should use String.valueOf(char) instead.

My App crashed. Unfortunately app has stopped

I'm a new Android developer working on the JustJava app on Udacity Beginners course. Using my phone to debug my code, when I clicked on the button to update price it gives the error: "Unfortunately JustJava has stopped".

The classloader could have not found the android.icu.text.NumberFormat class definition you are using in your app.
You should check that the Android version installed on your phone is compatible with this class that is available only since the API 24 (Android 7.0).

your Button Xml should be:

android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

Try this: in your MainActivity
String message = editText.getText().toString() + editText2.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra("message", message);
Now in Dics activity:
TextView mTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView2);
mTextView.setText(getIntent().getStringExtra("message")); //the key ID should match

Android Studio: getSupportActionBar() returns null

I am having a problem in trying to set up a Navigaion Drawer for a Android App. Here is the for the tutorial I was following. http://www.recursiverobot.com/post/59404388046/implementing-the-new-navigation-drawer-in-android
This is the error that I get when I try to run the code:
Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.support.v7.app.ActionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(boolean)' on a null object reference
I believe my problem is somewhere in my xml code. Here is my onCreate() method MainActivity.java:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.content_main);
mTitle = "test";
mPlanetTitles = new String[]{"Home", "Settings", "Application", "Contact Us"};
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.drawer_list_item, mPlanetTitles));
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
ActionBar myBar = getSupportActionBar();
myBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
myBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
/*Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);*/
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close){
public void onDrawerClosed(View view){
getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
}
public void onDrawerOpen(View drawerView){
getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
}
};
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
}
private class DrawerItemClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener{
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
selectItem(position);
}
}

I apologize for the excessive question but I was no sure with how much information would be needed. I have tried putting the code that is currently in the content_main.xml in the acivity_main.xml, tried using just getActionBar(). I believe the issue might be somewhere in my ActionBarDrawerToggle declaration. Any help would be appreciated.
