[Q] My app keeps crashing on Eclipse - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
I started learning android development and I've built a simple app that suppose to display a background and a few buttons that do nothing (for now). but I cant seem to get this app to work on the emulator w/o crashing. I've tried to look for an error for hours, but nothing came up.
I was hoping you could help me trace my problem. here's the code:
package com.reflecti0n.imri;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
public class MainMenu extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener {
ImageButton bStartGame, bHowToPlay, bQuitGame;
MediaPlayer soundtrack;
int counter;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
setVar();
soundtrack = MediaPlayer.create(MainMenu.this, R.raw.soundtrack);
soundtrack.start();
bStartGame.setOnClickListener(this);
bHowToPlay.setOnClickListener(this);
bQuitGame.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void setVar(){
bStartGame = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.bStart);
bHowToPlay = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.bHowTo);
bQuitGame = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.bQuit);
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
counter++;
}
}

the code is updated in the manifest as the 2nd activity class to work after the splash.
splash code:
package com.reflecti0n.imri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.app.Activity;
public class Splash extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle Reflection) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(Reflection);
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
Thread timer = new Thread(){
public void run(){
try{
sleep(3000);
}catch(InterruptedException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
Intent ourIntent = new Intent("com.reflecti0n.imri.MAINMENU");
startActivity(ourIntent);
}
}
};
timer.run();
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPause();
finish();
}
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thanks alot!

Before digging into the code you need to be sure that your development environment was installed correctly by running Hello, World program (developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html).
So have you tried it first?

Yes, I have tried it. I've been running several programs on my environment before I started writing this app...
The thing is according to Eclipse there's nothing wrong with the syntax, But when I try to run it, it crashes.
I've tried to isolate the problem, and when I remove the StartActivity to the MainMenu from the splash it runs the slash app w/o a problem.
I also double-checked the Manifest to make sure it's set correctly (splash is LAUNCHER/MAIN, mainmenu is DEFAULT/SPLASH).
