Question

I have this in my Android manifest:

   <activity
        android:name=".Planner"
        android:label="---" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.---.---.PLANNER" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

But I get the warning in Eclipse: Exported Activity Does not Require Permission

So I rework it to be like this:

 <activity
            android:name=".Planner"
            android:label="---" />

Warning goes away, but it force closes once this Activity is brought up. Here is LogCat:

Here is line 135:

startActivity(new Intent("com.---.---.PLANNER"));

Answer 1

You need to use a different intent. Use

Intent intent = new Intent(YourFirstClass.this, PlannerActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

Where PlannerActivity is the name of your activity as you see it in Eclipse.
