Question

I spent a very long time trying to locate the error but I can’t seem to find an answer that works online. The situation is that LogCat produces this error every time I click on an option in the list: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class.

Manifest file:

Thanks in advance! Sorry for the long question =)

Answer 1

(Copy from my comment above) The problem was ‘solved’ when I used ubuntu instead of windows =/ The root problem was in FileData.java, where the setContentView(R.layout.file_data) had to be called before setting text to it’s TextView (tv).

The new code for FileData.java is:

package com.capture.ProcessCapture;

... (all the imports)

public class FileData extends Activity {

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();

        Bundle bundle = this.getIntent().getExtras();
        String filename = bundle.getString("filename");
        File file = new File(sdcard+"/ProcessCapture/data", filename);

        StringBuilder text = new StringBuilder();

        try {
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            String line;

            while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                text.append(line);
                text.append('\n');
            }
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
        }

        setContentView(R.layout.file_data);

        TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.file_data);
        tv.setText(text);
    }

}
