Option Menu Button Code getting Stuck and Hanging
<p>I'm struggling to see why my code is not getting into the try statement after I hit the NearBy button on the options menu.  It goes to a black screen but the IN NEAR CASE string doesn't display in the output of the logcat in Eclipse or in aLogCat on an Android phone?  What am I doing wrong? </p>
