I am new to android programming and i was trying to make an app for managing my daily tasks. now my application needs to switch between activities, it starts normally on the first activity, but when i click the button to go to the other activity the app just crashes. i am debugging directly to my phone (Galaxy s3).
I thought the logcat output might be useful as i noticed it helped a lot during the other questions.

here is my android manifest:
<manifest package="com.example.dailyplanner"
android:versionName="1.0" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res
/android" android:versionCode="1">
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="9"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<application
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/title_activity_main"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".new_task"/>
</application>
`
and here’s the code of the 2 java files:
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
SQLiteDatabase db = openOrCreateDatabase("MyDB", MODE_PRIVATE, null );
db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Data1 (Id INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, text VARCHAR, time TIME, date DATE)");
Button nTaskBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.nTask);
nTaskBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent nTaskScreen = new Intent(MainActivity.this, new_task.class);
startActivity(nTaskScreen);
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
second file:
import android.R.string;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.TimePickerDialog;
import android.net.UrlQuerySanitizer.ValueSanitizer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.renderscript.Sampler.Value;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.TimePicker;
public class new_task extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.new_task);
TextView timeTxt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.timeTxt);
TextView dateTxt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.dateTxt);
Button btnSave = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSave);
btnSave.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
}
});
Button btnSetTime = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSetTime);
btnSetTime.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
}
});
}
}
any help would be appreciated 🙂
Look at the logcat error clearly, especially this line..
