Galaxy s7 Edge case & screen protector recommendation

Just ordered an s7 Edge in 'excellent' condition and having trouble searching for a case offering considerable protection for drops but isn't too bulky. Also need resilient screen protection. Is tempered glass the best or other? Is there a case that comes with both or is a case that accommodates a separate screen protector better? And if possible, an attachment point for lanyard.

App Inventor Button makes the to return to the main activity

Hey. I want to make a button which makes the app to move to another activity.
I did it a few times with this app with no problem, but for some reason, this simple button, when I click it, there is a black screen for half a second and it returns to the main activity.

Java:
  explanation.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent toExplanation = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ChoiceExplanationActivity.class);

                startActivity(toExplanation);
            }
        });

This is what I'v done in the activity which the button is in.

Java:
public class ChoiceExplanationActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_choice_explanation);

        TextView choiceExplanation = findViewById(R.id.explanation);


        choiceExplanation.setText("ok");
    }
}

And this is the activity which it should lead too.
When I looked at the log when clicking the button, I found this line which I think is the problem.

Code:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.appdeveloping/com.example.appdeveloping.ChoiceExplanationActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.widget.TextView.setText(java.lang.CharSequence)' on a null object reference

Thanks for the help.

Android Auto not working with Google Pixel 3a XL

I've recently upgraded my phone from a Samsung Galaxy S 8+ to the Google Pixel 3a XL. My head unit is the Kenwood DDX9704S using the Maestro iDataLink for connectivity. I have gone through the set up on the Android Auto app before connecting my my head unit.

The issue is that I am receiving an error while plugging into my head unit, the head unit says that I need to Agree to the ToS prior to using and my phone just says that my car needs to be in park then it will resume.

I have already agreed to the ToS and I am still receiving that error. I've read online that it could be because the parking brake switch has a poor connection. I personally don't see how that could be the issue due to the fact that my S8+ did not have these issues on this head unit.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

No sound from phone speakers on Bluetooth

Up until about a month ago, if I connected my phone via Bluetooth to my car, my phone notifications still made sound on the phone. Then an app called Smart Things seemed to hijack my phone any time I used Bluetooth. Do I need to be using that app to play through the car speakers (which I do with podcasts, etc). I still want my phone to play the notifications.

I did turn off (force stop) Smart Things, but the notifications still aren't playing when on Bluetooth. Any ideas what I've done?

I don't know what makes my account so attractive, but...

I just got another email from AF asking me for 2 step verification with an email password. I looked up the IP and it was someone trying to hack my account from France. Maybe because I'm a moderator made it a fun sport for them? Believe me, there's nothing in my life worth hacking.

So, I changed my PW via lastpass to a 99 character password. That'll keep them guessing, no?

Note 4, can't send receive images

I just upgraded from a note 2 to a note 4 and moved my sim card over. I worked with carrier to set perimeters, but nothing I do will allow me to send or receive images. If someone sends me an image, the text app shows "multimedia message" with a download button. It never downloads. If i try with Facebook's messenger, a popup says blocked by carrier, but carrier denies it.
As an aside, this phone was originally on Verizon, and many of Verizon's apps can't be deleated, including the first screen when booted.

Help resolved, File Manager, manage files based on ID3 tags.

I’m using a Moto One with latest version of Android. Right now all my music files are in one directory. I’d like to separate them into different directories based on the mp3 ID3 ‘’genre’’ tag. Is there a file manager that can find files based on mp3 ID3 tags? I want to locate all files with particular ID3 genre tags and bulk move them to a different directory. I’ve searched on google and in the Play Store and didn’t find any apps that can do this. Anyone know of such an app? Thx,

Navigation during a phone call

guys - i'm about to move from iphone (forced by company) back to android. While driving with android auto if you are on a phone call (everything wired in to the car) and also have google maps navigation, does google maps read aloud directions or simply beeps without disrupting the phone call and when it beeps, I can simply look at the screen to figure out the next turn
