Why I get an error when onClick function is activated?

Question

I created Game Over window which has Restart and Exit buttons.

       <ImageButton
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@drawable/exit"
            android:onClick="exit" />

      <ImageButton
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@drawable/restart"
            android:onClick="restart" />

onClick functions (exit() and restart()) are described in GameOver class

    public void restart(View view) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(GameOver.this, Game.class);
        startActivity(intent);
        finish();
    }

    public void exit(View view) {
        finish();
    }

Problem Exit function isn't responsive and Restart function yield this error:

What I understand from this error is that something went wrong with restart method. exactly with this line:

 startActivity(intent);

Answer 1

From the exception, it seems you did not add Game activity to your manifest.

Caused by: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.example.breakoutgame/com.example.breakoutgame.Game}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

Just add Game activity to your AndroidManifest.xml and it should work.
