Question

I’m new to Android Dev, so please help me out.

I’m trying to start a new activity after i press a button but nothing seems to work.
Here’s my code:

public class viewInfo extends Activity {
private Button btn;
public TextView txt;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.info);
    btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.buy);

    btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
             Intent myIntent = new Intent(viewInfo.this, buyNow.class);
             startActivity(myIntent);

        }

    });


}

I’ve also added this new activity in the Manifest but it keeps crushing after I press the button.
What am I doing wrong?

Misread the question initially (original answer below for completeness sake).

Make sure you have the activity you are calling defined in your manifest file:

Something like

<activity android:name=".buyNow" android:label="@string/app_name"></activity>

within the application tags would suffice.

Here’s the original answer.

Assuming that you have the correct button ID – try this in your onclick:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), buyNow.class);
startActivity(myIntent);

You could add a log message inside your onClick too, to make sure it is actually being called. You can see the log from logcat (run via adb logcat on the command line)
