Hi nin2246,

I could take a wild guess since you aren't showing us any error codes or what your manifest looks like. But my first thought is that you don't have that activity called out in your manifest. If you do and it is indeed an activity that has a create, etc. then it should start. Without seeing what the error is, it could be starting and the intent is being sent perfectly but the Game class is crashing. Probably some other things.

Please show us some error codes or more code or something. Help us help you.

Thanks,

Phyll

Hi nin,

Well, this appears to be the error:

03-05 11:58:47.943: E/AndroidRuntime(916): Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: myPetRock.Jakob.Hindman.Game cannot be cast to android.app.Activity

I haven't seen this code yet (myPetRock.Jakob.Hindman.Game), but the error suggests that it is not a class that is extended from Activity or something that can be cast as an Activity. Is it in the manifest as an activity? It would appear that the intent is getting to its destination but Game cannot start.

Hope this helps.

Phyll

Hi nin,
as the error suggesting may be the Game class has not extended the Activity class and may be you have mentioned it as activity in you manifest file.I think may be these are the reasons i could think of.
