Question

I have a simple app that you enter text into the textview and press submit and it shows the text in another Activity. However, when I press submit, gives me the message “Unfortunently Send Has Stopped” I looked at other threads on SO, but Unfortunately myfirstproject stopped working error in java seems the closest and they said to check the LogCat File, and it came up with more than one error:

The link on SO also said something about not creating the TextView and it being NULL.

Can someone help me?

Answer 1

If you take a better look at the error log you’ll see:

Caused by: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.point/com.point.DisplayMessageActivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

So, is your DisplayMessageActivity declared in the AndroidManifest.xml file?
