i think map fragment section is the part crashing app. please have a look

Your error occurs here:
com.app.minicabscouk.HomeActivity.onBackPressed(HomeActivity.java:161)
That's line 161 of your HomeActivity. You'll need to post the code from that class if you still can't figure it out yourself.
Hey, turns out I made a mistake! Disregard my above answer, sorry.
Check out the first line here:
FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: , PID: 5835 android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #16: Error inflating class fragment at android.view.LayoutInflater.createViewFromTag(LayoutInflater.java:770)
That's your actual problem. Whichever fragment you're trying to create, there's a problem with the XML at line 16.

Your OOM error is related to the Images you are loading as I am seeing in your log trace.
See this for loading large Bitmaps more efficiently:
A 400 KB image file can easily take up 5-10 MB of RAM.
For requesting to incraese heap size dynamically, Use android:largeHeap="true"
in the manifest.xml.
or/and just use the proper function to decode...

I would check the size of all your images referred to in your ImageViews. If they are large, maybe encode them as different image types to reduce the image size. The Android system is periodically running out of memory and crashing your application currently. It makes sense that you are getting this only sometimes as it depends on how much memory is currently being used for other applications etc... . If you reduce the size of your images significantly you should be able to resolve this.

Increase the gradle.properties in the root of your project :
org.gradle.jvmargs=-XX:MaxHeapSize\=512m -Xmx512m
the default jvmargs is 256
you can request to use more by using.
android:largeHeap="true"
in the manifest.xml.

I'm trying to scroll to a particular portion of my TableLayout using scrollTo()

I have a TableLayout within ScrollView:
ScrollView helpSV;
TableLayout myTL;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_help);
helpSV = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.helpScrollView);
myTL = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.myTableLayout);
}
Also, on clicking a button, a function is made to run:
<Button
android:id="#+id/regButton"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:onClick="register"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:text="Registration"
android:textColor="#fff" />
register() function is as follows:
public void register(View view) {
int index = 5;
final View child = myTL.getChildAt(index);
new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
helpSV.smoothScrollTo(0, child.getBottom());
}
});
}
For some reason, my app force closes on clicking the button. I've been at this for hours, referred to similar questions but nothing helped so far..
Help? Thanks in advance...

If anybody gets this problem, its probably cos you have made a re-declaration of some variable accidentally.
That's what caused the error in my program..silly me

I'd say you're crashing because View child is null. getChildAt() only gets the visible children, so you shouyld use getChildCount() and getFirstVisiblePosition() to check what is the index of the first visible child and the index of the last visible child by adding count and first visible position.
Also, you could scroll using smoothScrollToPosition() to get directly to the child of interest.

here is what i don't understand...it is giving me a casting error...i am casting a progressbar tp a progressbar...am i just missing a typo or something...i just need an extra set of eyes on this one
EDIT:
I did however not receive this error until after i rearranged stuff on the xml

I FIXED IT
I was reading how other people have been having the same issues when not using the GUI to change the layout...so i followed these steps
Fix the project (right click project, got android tools then the only option that says fix)
Delete R.java
Fix The Project again

What was happening is that eclipse (Or what ever you use) didn't want to update R file with the right data, meaning that the id of your progress bar or what ever it was casting was being mixed up with one of the buttons, nice little bug for ya.

Why does adding a checkbox to an XML layout cause a java.lang.ClassCastException?

I am modifying someone else's code, and just trying to add a fourth checkbox to the following dialog:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<CheckBox
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/vinai_full"
android:checked="true"
android:id="#+id/cb_vinai"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<CheckBox
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/suttan_full"
android:checked="true"
android:id="#+id/cb_suttan"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<CheckBox
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/abhidum_full"
android:checked="true"
android:id="#+id/cb_abhidham"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Button
android:text="#string/ok"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/okcatebtn"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
/>
</LinearLayout>
The fourth checkbox is:
<CheckBox
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/etc_full"
android:checked="true"
android:id="#+id/cb_etc"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
When I add it in, the apk compiles fine, but the program crashes on startup:
E/AndroidRuntime( 1470): FATAL EXCEPTION: main

This is even though the dialog is not loaded at startup. If I replace the third checkbox with the fourth one, there is no crash, so it seems like for some reason it is simply not accepting a fourth element. Why would that be?
EDIT: Here's the code leading up to the error, but I don't understand how it is related, since it refers to an element in a differing layout file:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
main = View.inflate(this, R.layout.main, null);
setContentView(main);
searchHistoryDBAdapter = new SearchHistoryDBAdapter(SelectBookActivity.this);
searchResultsDBAdapter = new SearchResultsDBAdapter(SelectBookActivity.this);
bookmarkDBAdapter = new BookmarkDBAdapter(SelectBookActivity.this);
Context context = getApplicationContext();
prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
MainTipitakaDBAdapter mainTipitakaDBAdapter = new MainTipitakaDBAdapter(this);
try {
mainTipitakaDBAdapter.open();
if(mainTipitakaDBAdapter.isOpened()) {
mainTipitakaDBAdapter.close();
} else {
startDownloader();
}
} catch (SQLiteException e) {
Log.e ("Tipitaka","error:", e);
startDownloader();
}
Resources res = getResources();
final String [] cnames = res.getStringArray(R.array.category);
textInfo = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_info);
and here's main.xml:

if text_info is in diffrent layout then use this
textInfo = (TextView)your_layout.findViewById(R.id.text_info);
instead of
textInfo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_info);

Be sure when you use
myContext.findViewById(R.id.cb_etc);
You assign it to a CheckBox object.
CheckBox mCheckBox = (CheckBox) myContext.findViewById(R.id.cb_etc);
NOTE: If you are using another layout, then you need to cast findViewBy id with that layout or the Context of the layout.

I had also same problem. but i add an attribute in Linearlayout for id
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mainlayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
and it solved.

Actually, the answer turned out to be running ant clean - the problem was there were cached files in the gen directory that were causing confusion for the device.
