Question

I have an application using the Google maps – until the moment it works fine. But now when I want to click a button in order to add functionality over the map I have problems.
I managed to visualise the button on the screen, also it works on click – it shows a toast correctly. But my aim is to start a new activity (having his own layout) – looking and reading tones of tutorials and stuff here is what I have :

        //the Add Button in the upper right corner
    Button addBookmark = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button);
    addBookmark.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
    {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View mapView) {

            Intent addBookmarkIntent = new Intent(GoogleMapsApp.this, LocationBookmaker.class);
            startActivity(addBookmarkIntent);                                           
        }
    });        

Also I’ve edited the manifest file:

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

        <activity android:name=".LocationBookmarker"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        ...

</manifest>

No matter what I try I always get the “The Application GoogleMapsApp (process google.maps.app) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.” with the only “Force close” option.

I’ve been trying since two days now – and in a lot of examples in the Internet other say it should be working like this. I cannot see where could be my mistake.
Maybe in the starting of the intent, or the manifest or where…?

Answer 1

According to the exception, the class it’s looking for is ‘LocationBookmaker’, but in your manifest you have ‘LocationBookmarker’ (notice the ‘r’). That may be your problem.
