Answer 1

this is perhaps you are trying to call a method languageSelection with object that is infact string, but you have passed into another object which has languageSelection method.
this is because you think the object is what you want but the pointer passed the allocated memory to string and hence it will work as string. when you try to call method it crashes because it didn't find the method in string. check your object type just before u use it anywhere
