At first glance it looks like you are missing the Activity to launch when you declare the new Intent.

Try this in the onClick method.

Intent intent = new Intent(LaunchActivity.this, FlightActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

The Intent constructor requires the activity to start. It looks like you forgot that.

Try that and see if it works.
