When i try to create a ListActivity to get to other activities it just says “Unfortunately, ReptileKeeper has stopped”

Question

This is my code and i want to be able to click on one of the buttons of the suborder and then get to the new activity that matches the suborder. Can anyone tell me why it doesn't work?

My menu class to access the suborder activities:

  package com.xeecros.reptilekeeper;

    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.app.ListActivity;
    import android.content.Intent;
    import android.view.Menu;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
    import android.widget.ListView;

public class MainMenu extends ListActivity {

    String suborder[] = {"Serpentes",
        "Lacertilia", "Chelonia"};



    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(MainMenu.this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, suborder));
    }

    @Override
    protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {

        super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
        String localposm = suborder[position];
        try{
        Class ourclass = Class.forName("com.xeecros.reptilekeeper." + localposm);
        Intent mintent = new Intent(MainMenu.this, ourclass);
        startActivity(mintent);
        }catch (ClassNotFoundException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        }

My Serpentes suborder activity i want it to be able to get to:

 package com.xeecros.reptilekeeper;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;

public class Serpentes extends ListActivity {

    String snakefam[] = {"Boidae", "Colubridae",
            "Elapidae", "Pythonidae", "Viperidae"};
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(Serpentes.this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, snakefam));
    }

    @Override
    protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {

        super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
        try{
        Class ourclass = Class.forName("com.xeecros.reptilekeeper.MainMenu");
        Intent sintent = new Intent(Serpentes.this, ourclass);
        startActivity(sintent);
        }catch (ClassNotFoundException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}

I appreciate any help thank you very much.

Answer 1

Each Activity have to be registered in the manifest file. It seems that you haven't done this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    ... >

    <application
        ... >
        <activity
            android:name=".YourActivity"
            ... />
    </application>
</manifest>
