Before posting I have already read many similar questions to mine but have had no luck.

The portion of the code when I'm sure that the error is emerging is:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText etEmail, etPassword;
Button signInButton;
UserLocalStore userLocalStore;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
etEmail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etEmail);
etPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etPassword);
signInButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.signInButton);
And the particular XML file related to the portion is:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:padding="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="70dp"
tools:showIn="@layout/activity_main">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="E-Mail" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/etEmail"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Password" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/etPassword"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textPassword" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/signInButton"
android:text="Sign In"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
What is the reason for this exception and how am I able to fix?
I'm not entirely sure why the exception is relating to relative layout when I am using linear.
Please note that I am quite new to Android so this may not be the smartest of questions! Thank you for your help in advance!
