Error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Question

It keeps saying class not found but i seem to see no errors in any Java class. Is it because of something wrong in the manifest file or Java Build paths? Please help. And why is asking a question so hard. It keeps saying give more details and stuff.

This is the logcat

This is the Provider part of Manifest File:-

<provider android:name=".data.PetProvider"

android:authorities="com.work.pets"

android:exported="false"/>

Answer 1

Your package is wrong. The code doesn't lie... This doesn't exist.

com.work.pets.data.PetProvider

data.PetProvider does...

Fix package data; to use your application's package
