I added the logcat. But i have no idea what is happening
This is the important information in your LogCat file:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.TextView cannot be cast to android.widget.Button
at com.example.intent_buttontests.PlayScreen.onCreate(PlayScreen.java:110)
You read the error correctly, it is a ClassCastException. The lines below Caused by... tell you where the error was thrown, which is in PlayScreen.onCreate() on line 110. As best I can tell line 110 is:
Button btnBattle = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnBattle);
But this line is fine and the XML for btnBattle looks fine too...
I ran your Activity with your layout myself and didn't get any errors. Have you cleaned your project? Often this will remove these "phantom" errors. (In Eclipse, Project -> Clean...)
I do have one suggestion, you have a lot of Buttons that do similar tasks. You can do the same actions with much less code if you use the XML onClick attribute. First create a method (call it launchClick()) in your Activity like so:
public void launchClick(View v) {
Intent intent;
switch(v.getId()) {
case R.id.button1:
intent = new Intent(PlayScreen.this, Inventory.class);
break;
case R.id.button2:
intent = new Intent(PlayScreen.this, Equipment.class);
break;
// etc, etc
}
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
};
And add the attribute android:onClick to every Button that you should have this behavior in play_screen.xml:
<Button
android:id="@+id/button3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/textViewTitle"
android:onClick="launchClick"
android:text="Stats" />
