FATAL EXCEPTION: major mistake - Android development

I am currently creating an Android app and am trying to solve this problem. Whenever I compile my code and port it to the emulator, it first loads with these errors:

Then it pushes me out of the application with a force shutdown, but it automatically recovers after automatically and works fine. If I close the application and kill it, it will not close anyone. Just when it is initially loaded on the emulator. I was wondering what would be the reason for this. Here are the messages that appear after downloading a second time:

I will supply you with any encoding you need, but unfortunately I do not know where this error is. I have many files inside my program, so I would prefer not to publish them all, if at all possible.
