I just went through the No Texting While Driving tutorial to teach my coding students this week. I feel like I have following the tutorial to the letter and every time I send a text to my phone when I am running this app I receive Runtime Error: Text is Null. I have attached my blocks as well as my designer view. Please assist.

You have your blocks in the wrong order in your message recieved part. You are sending the message before the text and number is set. Take a good look at the tutorial http://www.appinventor.org/content/ai2apps/simpleApps/noTexting
