Based on log commands, my app seems to fail when opening either viewscreen or viewxml:
// ...abridged...import android.widget.ImageButton;
public class main extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.mainxml);
// ... abridged
ImageButton ibone = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);
ibone.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent explicitIntent1 = new Intent(main.this,viewscreen.class);
explicitIntent1.putExtra("id", 1);
startActivity(explicitIntent1);
Log.e("main", "Birds clicked on - new activity starting...." + "id");
}
});
....further abridged...

The log msg above is never triggered, implying to me that viewxml.xml is never reached(???).
Here is viewxml.xml:

PS I am now also getting an AVD error which may be unrelated:
“emulator: ERROR: Could not load OpenGLES emulation library: Could not load DLL!”
I don’t believe I am using OpenGL at all though.
see common bug report at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=33336
PSS my app is also rejecting the use of non-google api VMs

Afer this code, there is come which is something like
Check if this ID exist in your xml
