Android Studio unable to find explicit activity class

Question

i have a application that allows me to alter/add/delete from mysql database. The application opens up fine when i run it but when i try clicking on the 'ViewAllEmployee' button i keep getting a error saying it cannot find explicit activity class. I have looked online and tried all solutions that have worked for people with this problem before. I have added it into my AndroidManifest too but it still doesn't want to work. Can anyone help? Literally been trying to fix this for hours!

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.assignment.androidassignment"
android:versionCode="1"

<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="18"
android:targetSdkVersion="21" />

<application

android:label="@string/app_name" >
<activity
    android:name="com.example.assignment.androidassignment.MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"

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

        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

    <activity

Answer 1

You are nesting <activity> tags in your Manifest. Take them apart:

<activity
    android:name="com.example.assignment.androidassignment.MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog" >

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />    
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
     android:name="com.example.assignment.androidassignment.ViewAllEmployee"/>

Answer 2

from

if(v == buttonView){
    startActivity(new Intent(this,com.example.assignment.androidassignment.ViewAllEmployee.class));
}

to

if(v == buttonView){
    startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this,ViewAllEmployee.class));
}

from

</activity>
 <activity
            android:name="com.example.assignment.androidassignment.ViewAllEmployee"
        />
</application>

</manifest>

please change the above and this is happening because of nesting of activity inside manifest
