Please explain, would really be helpful

The method initialize() in WalkingHandler.java is like this: (notice "throws Exception")

Code:

public WalkingHandler initialize() throws Exception {
      //  ..
      return this;
}

So you need to catch the exception it throws:

Code:

try {
    WalkingHandler.getSingleton().initialize();
} catch(Exception ex){
    ex.printStackTrace();
}
