I've just started the Basic Android app course, haven't coded anything yet, just been setting up the software :( Guess I must have missed something in the process

You can always try re-installing. :)

A NullPointerException usually means you haven't linked up the XML and Java properly or that you are calling a function on an object which doesn't actually exist at that instant.

What exactly is your XML and Java like? Code snippets would be helpful. :)
