Unable to Instantiate activity ComponentInfo - Android

I have read several errors of this kind, but I do not find a solution to my particular problem. My activities are all added to my manifest, and I did not start the emulator from an abstract class. My app used to work, until I tried to add spinners to it (which I probably did not do right). I run the app and it crashes before it even opens. Any idea what is wrong? I am a beginner, so please share plain language, thanks very much.

So here is my main activity:

package com.noni.gridimagesearch;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.GridView;
import android.widget.Toast;

import com.loopj.android.http.AsyncHttpClient;
import com.loopj.android.http.JsonHttpResponseHandler;

public class SearchActivity extends Activity {
    EditText etQuery;
    GridView gvResults; 
    Button btnSearch;
    ArrayList<ImageResult> imageResults = new ArrayList<ImageResult>();
    ImageResultArrayAdapter imageAdapter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_search);
        setupViews();
        imageAdapter = new ImageResultArrayAdapter(this, imageResults);
        gvResults.setAdapter(imageAdapter);
        gvResults.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapter, View parent, 
                    int position, long rowId) {
                Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), 
                        ImageDisplayActivity.class);
                ImageResult imageResult = imageResults.get(position);
                i.putExtra("result", imageResult);
                startActivity(i);
            }
        });

        GridView gvResults = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gvResults);
        gvResults.setOnScrollListener(new EndlessScrollListener() {
            @Override
            public void onLoadMore(int page, int TotalItemsCount) {
                customLoadMoreDataFromApi(page);
            }
        });

        setupAdvancedOptionsListener();

    } //end onCreate method

    Button advancedSearch = (Button) findViewById(R.id.advancedSearch);
    public void setupAdvancedOptionsListener() {
        advancedSearch.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v){
                Intent i = new Intent (SearchActivity.this, AdvancedOptionsActivity.class);
                startActivity(i);
            }

        });
    }

    public void customLoadMoreDataFromApi(int offset) {

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.search, menu);
        return true;
    } 

    public void setupViews() {
        etQuery = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etQuery);
        gvResults = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gvResults);
        btnSearch = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSearch);  
    }

    public void onImageSearch(View v) {
        imageResults.clear();
        String query = etQuery.getText().toString();
        Toast.makeText(this, "Searching for " + query, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
        int offset = 0;
        client.get("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?rsz=8&" +
        "start=" + offset + "&v=1.0&imgsz=medium&q=" + Uri.encode(query), 
                new JsonHttpResponseHandler() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(JSONObject response) {
                JSONArray imageJsonResults = null;
                try {
                    imageJsonResults = response.getJSONObject("responseData")
                            .getJSONArray("results");

                    imageAdapter.addAll(ImageResult
                            .fromJSONArray(imageJsonResults));
                    Log.d("DEBUG", imageResults.toString());
                } catch (JSONException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
    } 

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

}

Here is my activity with the spinners:

package com.noni.gridimagesearch;

import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;

import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Spinner;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class AdvancedOptionsActivity extends Activity implements AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {

    private Spinner colorFilter, imageSize, imageType;
    //private Button btnSubmit;

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

        colorFilter = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.color_filter);
        ArrayAdapter<?> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, 
                R.array.color_filter, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        colorFilter.setAdapter(adapter);
        colorFilter.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

        imageSize = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.image_size);
        ArrayAdapter<?> adapter2 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, 
                R.array.image_size, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        imageSize.setAdapter(adapter2);
        imageSize.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

        imageType = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.image_type);
        ArrayAdapter<?> adapter3 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, 
                R.array.image_type, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        imageType.setAdapter(adapter3);
        imageType.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
    }   

    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i,
            long l) {
        TextView myText = (TextView) view;
        Toast.makeText(this, "You selected " + myText.getText(), 
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.advanced_options, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    @Override
    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
    }
}

Here is the LogCat:
