Courses Plus Student 1,225 PointsWhen i run the app and click on the START YOUR ADVENTURE button the app crashes. I don't know how to fix it.
The logcat says, "Unable to find explicit activity class {com.example.jacob.interactivestory/com.example.jacob.interactivestory.StoryActivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?" How do i go about fixing this problem?

<activity
android:name=".StoryActivity"
android:label="Story"></activity>

Courses Plus Student 1,225 PointsThanks, it worked, I was getting frustrated with all the problems I have faced, and trying to figure out this one was a headache being a beginner at this stuff. Thanks again

1,870 PointsI am having a similar problem, but it's not "crashing" it just doesn't do anything when I tap the button. In your answer LB, you say to add that code in the manifest file. Do you mean the manifest file for the StoryActivity? If so, is it the first or 2nd activity?

28,323 Points@Terence Evans The manifest file is its own file. You should see it at the top of the file structure if you are using Android Studio.

1,870 PointsOK, I see. I tried the suggestion above but it didn't work. I got lots more errors. This is what my AndroidManifest.xml currently looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.twesq.interactivestory" >
<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"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".StoryActivity"
android:label="@string/title_activity_story"
android:parentActivityName=".MainActivity" >
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value="com.example.twesq.interactivestory.MainActivity" />
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

"The R in R.layout.activity_main is an error as with all the other R's throughout the both activities" Not sure if this has to do with my first Question but i think it might help lead you to a answer my first question. If the R error is the problem how should I fix it? Thanks
