My manifest code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.example.testalias.AliasTestActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name=".sp.SecondActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
    </activity>
</application>

And my code

btn2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent intent1 = new Intent();
            intent1.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.example.testalias.sp", "com.example.testalias.sp.SecondActivity"));
            startActivity(intent1);
        }
    });

May be I have done this at least thousand times, but don't know why not able to do now. Please help me.

Try this..

You can use your code same like it is. just change the package name inside your ComponentName com.example.testalias.sp to com.example.testalias and try again

btn2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent intent1 = new Intent();
            intent1.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.example.testalias", "com.example.testalias.sp.SecondActivity"));
            startActivity(intent1);
        }
    });
