and here is the code from my manifest…

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

            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

and here is the code from my class…

public class HVACAnalizerActivity extends Activity {

    Button bNew, bLookUp;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        initialize();
    }

    public void initialize() {
        bNew = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bNewCustomer);
        bLookUp = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bLUCustomer);
        bNew.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            //@Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                try {
                    Class<?> newCustomerClass = Class.forName("com.jmedia.hvacanalizer.NEWCUSTOMER");
                    Intent newCustomerIntent = new Intent(
                            HVACAnalizerActivity.this, newCustomerClass);
                    startActivity(newCustomerIntent);

                } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
        bLookUp.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            //@Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                // Class newCustomerClass = null;

            }
        });
    }

if someone can help me out here that would be great. this is my first attempt at coding for the android and im already about to pull my hair out.

Answer 1

Just as a reference for others i want to post the answer. I was looking in the wrong spot. The problem was a coding error in the initialize method in the newcustomer class. I think it was where i had referenced the same button that is in my hvacanalizeractivity class by mistake. hope this helps other beginners like me.
