Android app force closes when the button is clicked to go on another activity

Question

I am making an android app using android 2.2 and eclipse. Its a simple app which should change activities from "CoverPageApp.java" to "LoginActivity.java" and then to another activity. But as I click the "Start Button" in CoverPageApp.java, the app force closes.

LoginActivity.java

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class LoginActivity extends Activity {

    Button btnLinkToRegistrScrn;
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     setContentView(R.layout.login);
     addListenerOnButton();
     btnLinkToRegistrScrn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.LinkToRegisterScreen); 

   }


    public void addListenerOnButton() {

        final Context context2 = this;

        Button loginbtn1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnLogin);

            loginbtn1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {

                Intent intent = new Intent(context2, DashboardActivity.class);
                         context2.startActivity(intent);   
            }

        });
    }


    { 
        // Link to Register Screen 
        btnLinkToRegistrScrn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { 
           @Override
            public void onClick(View view) { 
                Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), CAActivity.class); 
                startActivity(i); 
                } 
       }); 

    }   

   }

I think you have not added the activity

LoginActivity.java

in Android manifest file Just add followin code to your AndroidManifest.xml file

<application>
        <activity
            android:name=".LoginActivity"
            android:label="@string/login_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
