Question

The problem is that if i use these two lines of code,my app closes unxepectedly and if not used, the app works just fine...is there any other way to get to the maps.class? The following is the code i used:

     Intent in = new Intent(BlobCity.this, maps.class)
       startActivity(in);

the following is my manifest file:

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

  android:versionCode="1"

Answer 1

Your tag <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" /> has to be inside the <application> tag!

manifest has to be like this:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="BlobCity.xyz.com"
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">       
  **<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />** 
    <activity android:name=".BlobCity"
              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=".maps" />
</application>
</manifest>

Answer 2

Try:

Intent in = new Intent(BlobCity.this.getApplicationContext(), maps.class)
startActivity(in);

Answer 3

Activity (Class) name must start with capital letter, and instead of using BlobCity.this use only "this" keyword which refers the Context of the current Activity

eg

Intent in = new Intent(this, Maps.class)
startActivity(in);

also make sure entry of this Activity must be in your AndroidManifest.xml file

eg

 <activity android:name=".Maps"></activity>
