What's wrong with my PDF reader activity?

Question

I have a PDF reading activity that won't open for whatever reason. I suspect that the issue stems from an API that I had imported earlier. When I previewed the XML file in the PDF-reading activity, I noticed that there was a question mark next to the PDF-API, indicating that it hasn't been recognized by android studio I'd be extremely appreciative if anyone could help me figure this out. Here's the code:

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".PDFReader">

    <com.github.barteksc.pdfviewer.PDFView
        android:id="@+id/pdfViewer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent">

    </com.github.barteksc.pdfviewer.PDFView>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Java:

  package com.androidcodefinder.loginscreendemo.Analytics;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import com.github.barteksc.pdfviewer.PDFView;
import com.ittianyu.bottomnavigationviewex.BottomNavigationViewEx;

public class AnalyticsActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private static final String TAG = "AnalyticsActivity";
    private Context mContext= AnalyticsActivity.this;
    private static final int ACTIVITY_NUM = 0;
    private Button pdfViwer;
    private Button pdfViwer2;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.analytics_activity);
        Log.d(TAG,"onCreate: started");

        setupBottomNavigationView();
        pdfViwer=(Button)findViewById(R.id.pdf23);
        pdfViwer.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(AnalyticsActivity.this,PDFView.class);
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });
        pdfViwer2=(Button)findViewById(R.id.pdf22);
        pdfViwer2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(AnalyticsActivity.this,PDFView.class);
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });

    }

    private void setupBottomNavigationView(){
        Log.d(TAG,"setupBottomNavigationView: setting up BottomNavigationView");
        BottomNavigationViewEx bottomNavigationViewEx = (BottomNavigationViewEx) findViewById(R.id.bottomNavViewBar);
        BottomNavigationViewHelper.setupBottomNavigationView(bottomNavigationViewEx);
        BottomNavigationViewHelper.enableNavigation(mContext, bottomNavigationViewEx);
        Menu menu = bottomNavigationViewEx.getMenu();
        MenuItem menuItem = menu.getItem(ACTIVITY_NUM);
        menuItem.setChecked(true);
    }
}

Here's a screenshot of the error:

Please don't post screenshots of code, XML, or logcat output. Please post all text as text. Also, that's not what we need. You're looking for the [stack trace from the crash](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23353173). — Mike M., Nov 24 '18 at 05:51
Here's the message from logcat:Unable to find explicit activity class {com.androidcodefinder.loginscreendemo/com.github.barteksc.pdfviewer.PDFView}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml? — ABAS HERSI, Nov 24 '18 at 08:00
@ABASHERSI does this answer(https://stackoverflow.com/a/53455588/7360848) solves your problem, if so, please accept it :) — touhid udoy, Nov 24 '18 at 11:59

Edit

Declare your activity inside AndroidManifest.xml like this

<application
    .
    .
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

    <activity android:name=".PDFReader">
    </activity> 
    .
    .
</application>

Shouldn't this

Intent intent = new Intent(AnalyticsActivity.this,PDFView.class);

Be that?

Intent intent = new Intent(AnalyticsActivity.this.PDFReader.class);

I tried that but it gave me a whole slew of errors unfortunately. – ABAS HERSI Nov 24 '18 at 07:43
please select `debug` in logcat instead `verbose` and paster the logcat when the error occurs – touhid udoy Nov 24 '18 at 07:53
I did as you said I received the following message:Unable to find explicit activity class {com.androidcodefinder.loginscreendemo/com.github.barteksc.pdfviewer.PDFView}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml? – ABAS HERSI Nov 24 '18 at 08:00
the error is self explanatory, see my updated answer – touhid udoy Nov 24 '18 at 08:32
My activity was already declared so that didn't help unfortunately :( – ABAS HERSI Nov 24 '18 at 19:38

You are finding views

pdfViwer=(Button)findViewById(R.id.pdf23);
pdfViwer2=(Button)findViewById(R.id.pdf22);

with id pdf23,pdf22 but these two not available in your xml file. So it will throw run time exception.

Thanks for responding but pdf22 and pdf23 are buttons that are housed in a different xml file so that can't be the issue. – ABAS HERSI Nov 24 '18 at 05:03
Okay, add your logcat to question – Suraj Vaishnav Nov 24 '18 at 05:44
I just added it :) – ABAS HERSI Nov 24 '18 at 05:49
