Thenewboston Lesson 21 crash. Finishing Listactivity


I am learning android application development using The New Boston tutorials. I completed lesson 21, but when i run my code, the application crashes after the splash screen (i.e the logo). Please help. I don't want to quit this tutorial. If there is anything else from eclipse u need except the data given below please let me know. Thanks in advance.

My manifest:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.thenewboston.pok"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".Splash"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_the_new_boston" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".TheNewBostonActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_the_new_boston" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.thenewboston.pok.THENEWBOSTONACTIVITY" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".MENU"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_the_new_boston" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.thenewboston.pok.MENU" />

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

</manifest>

My Menu.java:

package com.thenewboston.pok;

import android.widget.ListView;

public class Menu extends ListActivity{

    String classes[]={"TheNewBostonActivity", "example1", "example2", "example3",
            "example4", "example5", "example6"};

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(Menu.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, classes));
    }

    @Override
    protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
        String cheese = classes[position];
        try{
            Class ourClass = Class.forName("com.thenewboston.pok." + cheese);
            Intent ourIntent = new Intent(Menu.this, ourClass);
            startActivity(ourIntent);
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }
}

My Splash.java:

package com.thenewboston.pok;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class Splash extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splash);
        Thread timer = new Thread(){
            public void run() {
                try{
                    sleep(5000);                    
                }catch (InterruptedException e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }finally{
                    Intent open1= new Intent ("com.thenewboston.pok.MENU");
                    startActivity(open1);
                }
            }
        };
        timer.start();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPause();
    }

}

My TheNewBostonActivity.java:

package com.thenewboston.pok;

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;

    int counter;
    Button add, sub;
    TextView display;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        ourSong = MediaPlayer.create(TheNewBostonActivity.this, R.raw.undisclosed_desires);
        ourSong.start();
        counter = 0;
        add = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bAdd);
        sub = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bSub);
        display = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvDisplay);
        add.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                counter++;
                display.setText("Your Total Is " + counter);
            }
        });
        sub.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                counter--;
                display.setText("Your Total Is " + counter);
            }
        });

    }

    @Override

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onStop();
        ourSong.release();
    }

}

Solution

  • You have declared your activity in manifest with all capital letters.

     android:name=".MENU"
    

    But your Activity class is Menu.java

    Change this to

      android:name=".Menu"
