i am following this tutorial.

here is my code:

MainActivity.java

package com.example.androidwebviewexample;

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

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private Button button;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        final Context context = this;

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonUrl);

        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

          @Override
          public void onClick(View arg0) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(context, WebActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);
          }
        });
    }
}

WebActivity.java package com.example.androidwebviewexample;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;

public class WebActivity extends Activity {

    private WebView webView;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

        webView.loadUrl("http://www.random.com/");
    }

}

androidmanifesto.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.androidwebviewexample"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8"  android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />    

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Answer 1

You need to make an entry for WebActivity in the manifest file.

If you check the stack trace it says

have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml? 
// you have declared the activity in manifest file

Make an entry as below

       <activity 
        android:name="com.example.androidwebviewexample.WebActivity">
       </activity>

Answer 2

Try this in your manifest..

<activity
            android:name="com.example.androidwebviewexample.MainActivity"
            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="com.example.androidwebviewexample.WebActivity">
    </activity>

Answer 3

In your manifest file, WebActivity is not declared. Do not create the Activity manually by extending Java class in Eclipse, but do Project > new Activity, so it'll automatically get added to the manifest.
