I am getting this exception (ActivityNotFound) only on android 4.2.2, while starting an activity from a custom view. This works fine on all devices which are 4.1.1 and below.
Has anyone faced similar issues with 4.2.2 ?
Code that starts the activity from my custom view
Intent intent = new Intent(getContext(), MyActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(Constants.EXTRAS1, serializable);
intent.putExtra(Constants.EXTRAS2, serializable);
((Activity)getContext()).startActivityForResult(intent, Constants.MY_ACTION);

Okay, the issue was with the manifest,
I had this activity declared in manifest as,
<activity android:name="com.sample.MyActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent"
android:label="@string/app_name" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden">
</activity>
It started working after removing the package reference from the declaration, like below,
<activity android:name=".MyActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent"
android:label="@string/app_name" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden">
</activity>
I am not sure why would it behave this way only for this activity as I have other activities in my app declared with package reference and that works fine, Wierd though.
