I am developing an android application (for jellybean) which has 9 activities connected with intents. The application crashes when I click the bar at the top (which is supposed to take me to the previous activity I guess). I'm not sure what that bar is called but it shows the name of the current activity. It does not crash when I click the hardware "back" button but when I click that bar it says "the app has stopped". I'm adding the screenshot of the emulator to show which bar I'm talking about:
here is my main activity code and the profile activity code:
MAIN ACTIVITY:
package com.ecotravel.eco_travel;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.content.Intent;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
EditText usernamefield= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.usernamefield);
EditText passwordfield = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.passwordfield);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
/** Called when the user clicks the Log In button */
public void loginFunc(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ProfileActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
EditText usernamefield= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.usernamefield);
EditText passwordfield = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.passwordfield);
}
/** Called when the user clicks the Register button */
public void registerFunc(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, RegisterActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
PROFILE ACTIVITY(the one in the screenshot):
package com.ecotravel.eco_travel;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils;
import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Build;
public class ProfileActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_profile);
// Show the Up button in the action bar.
setupActionBar();
}
/**
* Set up the {@link android.app.ActionBar}, if the API is available.
*/
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
private void setupActionBar() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.profile, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
// This ID represents the Home or Up button. In the case of this
// activity, the Up button is shown. Use NavUtils to allow users
// to navigate up one level in the application structure. For
// more details, see the Navigation pattern on Android Design:
//
// http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation.html#up-vs-back
//
NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/** Called when the user clicks the Search button */
public void searchFunc(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, SearchActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
/** Called when the user clicks the Wishlist button */
public void wishFunc(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, WishlistActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
Can someone please explain why that is happening? If not how can I remove this bar from my activities?

I found the solution. The problem was upgrading to adt22. in adt22 the location of android-support-v4.jar is changed which caused this error. the solution is here: Libraries do not get added to APK anymore after upgrade to ADT 22
