I switched over from eclipse to android studio and I'm trying to add an activity to my manifest file, I dont know the code I'm supposed to use and my app keeps crashing heres the code from my manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="penis.jason.payday" >
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
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="settings"
android:label="Pay Day!!">
</activity>
<activity android:name="statistics"
android:label="Pay Day!!">
</activity>
</application>
what i have it doing is when the user pushes the settings button than it takes the to that class and new xml. heres the code i used to send the intent
Settings.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent GoToSettings = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), settings.class);
startActivity(GoToSettings);
finish();
}
});
heres my logcat

this is the whole settings class

if(FullScreenOnOff.isChecked()){
FullScreen = true;

SharedPreferences.Editor FullScreenE = FullScreenSave.edit();
FullScreenE.putBoolean("FullScreen", FullScreen);
FullScreenE.commit();
}
}
}
_______UPDATE______ i found the problem!
i had to change the way i declared my button varables to this
boolean FullScreen;
Button SaveAndExit,Save,Cls;
CheckBox FullScreenOnOff,SaveWarningOnOff;
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month= cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1;
int day = cal.get(Calendar.DATE);
String FullDate = (" "+month+"/"+day+"/"+year);
String Date=(String.valueOf(FullDate));
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle saveInstanceState){
super.onCreate(saveInstanceState);
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.settings);
FullScreen = getSharedPreferences("Settings",MODE_PRIVATE).getBoolean("FullScreen",false);
if(FullScreen==true){
this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setContentView(R.layout.settings);
}
SaveAndExit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.SaveAndExit);
Save = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Save);
Cls = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Cls);
FullScreenOnOff = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.fullScreen);
SaveWarningOnOff = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.SaveWarningOnOff);
}
