Starting a new activity

Question

I'm relatively new to programming in general so be gentle =| I'm trying to start a new activity from a basic one that displays a couple of text inputs, a checkbox, and a button. When the button is pressed I want it to switch to the new activity. The code compiles but when I press the button in Android it simply crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the code sample:

public class Something extends Activity implements OnClickListener
{

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.login);

    Button login = (Button)findViewById(R.id.login);
    login.setOnClickListener(this);

}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) 
{

    startActivity(new Intent().setClass(Something.this, That.class));
}
}

Edit: Adding what I hope is the stack trace =/ Editx2: Heres the adb logcat, hope it makes sense to someone lol

Answer 1

The most common mistake here is forgetting to register the 'That' activity in your AndroidManifest.xml. Have you done that?

Also, it would be much easier to help you if you pasted the stack trace from your crash. You can see crash info, amongst other logging, by running adb logcat.
