but when I try to run it it gives this error and crashes:

    Please, read carefully debug log. The answer is there:

    Add your shop credentials to a shop.properties file in the main app
    folder (e.g. ‘app/shop.properties’). Include these keys:
    SHOP_DOMAIN=.myshopify.com API_KEY=0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw
    You must populate the ‘APP_ID’ entry in app/shop.properties at

    Their sample app comment is slightly out of date. The location you need to put the shop.properties file is:

    /MobileBuy/sample/shop.properties

    You need to put the API key / domain in

    SHOP_DOMAIN=YOURSHOP.myshopify.com
API_KEY=<your-api-key>

    If you are still having problems, then just modify the SampleApplication.java and change the lines t 

    String shopUrl = BuildConfig.SHOP_DOMAIN;
String shopifyApiKey = BuildConfig.API_KEY;
