Starting FragmentActivity from Activity with Intent

Question

I'm getting a force close every time I try to start a FragmentActivity from an Activity using an Intent. Here's the code from the Activity:

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), OrgHome.class);
intent.putExtra("Username", organization_name.getText().toString());
startActivity(intent);

And here's the logcat:

OrgHome.class is defined in the manifest correctly. What's going on here?

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.project3.organizations"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_main" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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

</manifest>

Answer 1

Change the manifest:

Use this if OrgHome is in the same place as MainActivity

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

Use this if it's in a sub-folder

<activity android:name=".sub.path.to.OrgHome" />

Or specify the whole path

<activity android:name="entire.path.to.OrgHome" />

Answer 2

for addressing the Fragment activities you should write (getactivity(), nameofOtherActivity .class); and you should be all right.
