ActivityNotFoundException for an activity declared in my AndroidManifest.xml

Question

I have a launched android application that works fine most of the time. However 1 in about 1000+ runs I get an android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class exception. The activity is declared in my manifest and I've never seen it crash myself. It is declared like this...

<activity android:name="com.myCompany.myPackage.MyDialog"
   android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
</activity>

The crash reports show it failing on all OS's from 1.5 to 2.1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem, except it's 100% of the time. — Tenfour04, Apr 16 '11 at 19:01
I found that it only affects the activity I'm using as the launcher activity. So to solve it, I just extended the activity without changing anything in it, and declared the extended version of it in my manifest. — Tenfour04, Apr 16 '11 at 23:46

an android.content.ActivityNotFoundException

be sure your <activity is inside your <application node =)

yep, it definitely is. The only other thing that I can think of that is of note is my main activity has android:launchMode="singleTask". – Gary Jul 05 '10 at 18:27

you don´t need to define all your package in your activity, you will define it in your manifest xml

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.myCompany.myPackage"

and then in your activity

<activity android:name=".MyDialog"
   android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
</activity>
