Why does my app crash without any errors?

Question

App crashes and I am getting these errors:

It has errors. They just aren't compile time errors. Not all are. Your problem is: Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: empty String — Gabe Sechan
you are converting empty string to double which is not allowed. So firstly check whether its empty or not , than after parse :) — Anand Savjani
The crash is caused by NumberFormatException and the reason behind it is that one (or more) of your edit text's text is empty. Before converting your edit text's text to double, check if the texts are empty and also whether they are valid numbers or not. — Srikar Reddy
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity.class)); Why you call the same activity — Raj

Check if you have any value inserted in the EditText then only parse it in Double

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

        jellyBeanLength = (EditText) findViewById (R.id.length);
        jellyBeanDiameter = (EditText) findViewById (R.id.diameter);
        jarSizeVolume = (EditText) findViewById (R.id.jarsize);

        answer = (TextView) findViewById (R.id.answer);
        Button calculate = (Button) findViewById (R.id.calculate);
        calculate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {

//Take out value when button pressed
        jellybeantall = Double.parseDouble(TextUtils.isEmpty(jellyBeanLength.getText().toString())?"0":jellyBeanLength.getText().toString());
        jellybeanfat = Double.parseDouble(TextUtils.isEmpty(jellyBeanDiameter.getText().toString())?"0":jellyBeanDiameter.getText().toString());
        jellybeanspace = Double.parseDouble(TextUtils.isEmpty(jarSizeVolume.getText().toString())?"0":jarSizeVolume.getText().toString());



        double volumeOfOneJellyBean =  ((3.14159265359/6)*(jellybeanfat*jellybeanfat)*jellybeantall);
        double volumeofBeans = (jellybeanspace*loadFactor);
        float numberOfBeans = (float)Math.round (volumeofBeans/volumeOfOneJellyBean);
        answer.setText("You have this amount of beans in your jar" + numberOfBeans);
            } 
        }); 
    }
