Android Intent Button NullPointerException

Question

I'm trying have a button start another class. I get a null pointer exception which I found using logcat and I don't know why.

    package com.Juggle2;


import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.Button;

public class Juggle2 extends Activity {

    public static final String LOG_TAG = "Juggle2";

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
            setContentView(R.layout.main);  


            Button StartGameButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.StartGame);
            StartGameButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    Intent i = new Intent(Juggle2.this, StartGame.class);
                    startActivity(i);
                }
            });

And my XML manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.Juggle2"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />

    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name=".Juggle2"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
      <activity android:name=".Panel"></activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

Here is the log

And inside the main.xml:

There is this button

<Button
android:id="@+id/StartGame"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/startgame_button"
>

Answer 1

Your panel class is not an Activity but a SurfaceView. So, create a new Activity class (maybe called PanelActivity) and in its onCreate() call setContentView(new Panel());

Also, this line:
Intent i = new Intent().setClass(Juggle2.this, Panel.class );
Should look like:
Intent i = new Intent(Juggle2.this, PanelActivity.class);
