The app I am working on crashes when i try to go from one intent to the other, I've tried everything. code:

Question

The Start class: It as a very simple program, i designed two screen, and by pressing a button on the main screen i wanted the app to open the second screen, but unfortunately its not happening, the app keeps crushing over and over again.

package com.example.snakesnladders;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class Start extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
    Button start, settings;
    TextView snakes, and, ladders;
    ImageView snakePic;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.mainscreen);
        init();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPause();
    }

    private void init() {
        start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btStart);
        settings = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btSettings);
        snakes = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvSnakes);
        and = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvAnd);
        ladders = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvLadders);
        snakePic = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.snakePic);
        start.setOnClickListener(this);
        settings.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        switch (view.getId()) {
        case R.id.btStart:

            break;
        case R.id.btSettings:
             Intent i = new Intent("com.example.snakesnladders.SET");
             startActivity(i);
            break;
        default: break;
        }
    }

}

The Set class:

package com.example.snakesnladders;

import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class Set extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
    Button sound, difficulty, back;
    TextView settings;
    ImageView snakePic;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.setscreen);
        init();
    }

    private void init() {
        sound = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btSound);
        difficulty = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btDifficulty);
        back = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btBack);
        settings = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvSetPage);
        snakePic = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.setSnakePic);
        sound.setOnClickListener(this);
        difficulty.setOnClickListener(this);
        back.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        switch (view.getId()) {
        case R.id.btSound:
            String s = sound.getText().toString();
            if (s.equals("Sound:on")) {
                sound.setText("Sound:off");
                ControlSounds.player.stop();
            } else {
                sound.setText("Sound:on");
                ControlSounds.player.start();
            }
            break;
        case R.id.btDifficulty:

            break;
        case R.id.btBack:
            Intent i = new Intent(Set.this, Start.class);
            startActivity(i);
            finish();
            break;
        }

    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPause();
    }

}

Answer 1

Change this

 Intent i = new Intent("com.example.snakesnladders.SET");
 startActivity(i);

To

Intent i = new Intent(Start.this,Set.class);
startActivity(i);

And Change this

<activity
        android:name=".Set"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.example.snakesnladders.SET" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

To

 <activity
        android:name=".Set"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
</activity>

Use Explicit Intent's

To know why read

http://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-filters.html

Explicit intents specify the component to start by name (the fully-qualified class name). You'll typically use an explicit intent to start a component in your own app, because you know the class name of the activity or service you want to start. For example, start a new activity in response to a user action or start a service to download a file in the background.
