How to fix Application force closes issue when device is turned on?

I have developed simple android imageview that uses viewpager, and it plays music in background. It also stops music when last image is reached and it will resume the music when user slides back to the images. However, my main problem is that when device goes to sleep music stops and when device starts again instead of resuming music again and displaying image..It force closes... Any suggestion on how to fix this issue...Following are my codes...

Have you tried moving your music playback to onResume() Activity lifecycle with fragments won't call onCreate() again until you activity is 're created. So the playback won't be resumed without closing your app.
Something like this

When onCreate is called in one of your Activities extending BaseActivity, you are calling super.onCreate, i.e. the onCreate of BaseActivity. Now the problem is that you are calling setContentView inside the BaseActivity's onCreate and after that again inside the actual Activity. This means your base_activity.xml is replaced by four_one.xml, four_two.xml, ... respectively. And that means, unless views such as R.id.drawer_layout also exist inside four_one.xml and so on, you won't be able to access those views. Hence the NullPointerException.
There are two solutions:
Drop the Activity-extending and instead make FourOne, FourTwo extend Fragment, put a container-layout inside base_activity.xml, and what else you have to do to use fragments.
Remove onCreate from BaseActivity and instead put all views from base_activity.xml you need in the different layouts four_one.xml, four_two.xml, ... respectively. Make use of include-tag, so you don't have to repeat XML-code.

This is all that logcat is displaying. I can't figure out what is the problem!
Why does it crash in android 2.3?

Can't display banners

I have this activity - including the needed code in order to load the admob banner ads.

I'm sure that I miss something inside of the xml layout file, but I'm not able to spot it as a total beginner.
Ps. here the layout is:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".AllJokes" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/allJokesList"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
</ListView>
</RelativeLayout>
Should I declare something in it? Please, give me a clue!

Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: addView(View) is not supported in AdapterView
you cant add a view to adapterview

your issue is with
ListView layout = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.allJokesList);
layout.addView(adView);
You need to add the adView inside the adapter
http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.co.il/2012/03/embedding-admob-ads-within-listview-on.html

Don't try to add an AdView as an element in a ListView. It is a recipe for pain as it will be entirely different to your other items with different needs.
Add it as it's own element either above or below your ListView.
Instead create a LinearLayout either above or below your ListView
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/adViewContainer
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
and then change this part of your onCreate to
// Add the AdView to the view hierarchy. The view will have no size
// until the ad is loaded.
final ViewGroup adViewContainer = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.adViewContainer);
adViewContainer.addView(adView);

I create intent to link to other interface but end up force close

This is my Login.java code
package com.pmss;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class Login extends Activity {

#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login);
register = (Button) findViewById(R.id.register);
login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//startActivity(new Intent());
}
});
register.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent intent = new Intent(Login.this, Register.class);
startActivity(new Intent(intent));
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.login, menu);
return true;

}

I wonder is it anything to do with this coding:
register = (Button) findViewById(R.id.register);
register.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent intent = new Intent(Login.this, Register.class);

});

Change your register button setOnClickListener code to
register.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent intent = new Intent(Login.this, Register.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
And Don't Forget to add Activity in your Manifest File
<activity
android:name=".Register"
android:label="#string/app_name">
</activity>

Ther are so many cases why this error is occured.
1) May be you have forgot to add Register activity to your Menifest File.
2) The ID which you are providing for registed is wrong
and so other also, It's very hard to tell without logcat. But this are cases which might occur.
