Android Application crahes when passing strings between classes

I'm trying to pass a string between 2 classes in Android . The first class is "MainActivity" and the second one is "abc" .
Here's my MainActivity code :
package com.example.passstrings;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
String pass;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
pass = "abcabc";
Intent abc = new Intent(this , abc.class);
abc.putExtra("key", pass);
startActivity(abc);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment())
.commit();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/**
* A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
*/
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
public PlaceholderFragment() {
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
return rootView;
}
}
}
and here's my abc class code :
package com.example.passstrings;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class abc extends Activity{
TextView tv1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
tv1=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
Intent intent = getIntent();
String pass= intent.getExtras().getString("key");
if(pass!= null){
tv1.setText(pass);
}
}
}
Here's my fragment_main.xml code :
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.example.passstrings.MainActivity$PlaceholderFragment" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello_world" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_marginLeft="69dp"
android:layout_marginTop="72dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/textView2"
android:text="TextView" />
</RelativeLayout>

If I remove "startActivity(abc);" the application doesn't crash, also if use try&catch the application doesn't crash but the same time it doesn't perform the action . So what could be the reason ? and thanks in advance

and my Manifest after the update :

You need to add your second Activity to your Androidmanifest.xml file.
<activity android:name="com.example.passstrings.abc" />

have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
04-04 05:34:38.685: E/AndroidRuntime(734): at android.app.Instrumentation.checkStartActivityResult(Instrumentation.java:1404)
it clearly say's that you have not declared your abc activity in manifest file. have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
so just decalre your abc activity in manifest file.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.passstrings.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=".abc"
</activity>
</application>
add this line
<activity
android:name=".abc"
</activity>
and also change this in your abc.java
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
you have reference of activity_main only you have to set abc.XML or whatever your XML filename for abc. So change it with
setContentView(R.layout.abc);
Edit
public class abc extends Activity{
TextView tv1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.fragment_main);
tv1=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
Intent intent = getIntent();
String pass= intent.getExtras().getString("key");
if(pass!= null){
tv1.setText(pass);
}
}

It is simply ActivityNotFoundException which mean you forgot to declare abc activity in your AndroidManifest.xml file.
Just add following line in your manifest.xml in application tag.
<activity android:name="com.example.passstrings.abc" />
For your new NullPointerException here is the solution
You have defined following .xml in your Activity file activity_main while you have declare TextViews in fragment_main.xml, that's why it is giving NullPointerException.
I suggest you to change the xml from following line
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
to
setContentView(R.layout.fragment_main.xml);

You are telling it to write to external storage. Have you set up an SD card in eclipse?

Public Class InstantiationException

I made a class and its constructor should take 2 arguments, but Eclipse gives me an InstantiationException and I don't know why. How can I fix this?
Here is the Sms class code:
public class Sms {
String message;
String phonenumber = "";
SharedPreferences sp;
Context context;
public Sms(String m, Context context)
{
message = m;
this.context = context;
}
public void sendSms()
{
sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
phonenumber = sp.getString("PHONE", "");
SmsManager manager = SmsManager.getDefault();
PendingIntent piSend = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, new Intent("SMS_SENT"), 0);
PendingIntent piDelivered = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, new Intent("SMS_DELIVERED"), 0);
int length = message.length();
if(length > MAX_SMS_MESSAGE_LENGTH)
{
ArrayList<String> messagelist = manager.divideMessage(message);
manager.sendMultipartTextMessage(phonenumber, null, messagelist, null, null);
}

Intent open_SM = new Intent ("android.intent.action.SMS");
startActivity(open_SM);
Sms s = new Sms("trlababalan",this);
s.sendSms()

You have declared Sms as an Activity in your Manifest:
<activity
android:name="mioc.programing.safetpin.Sms"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
But Sms doesn't extend Activity... So these lines cause the exception:
Intent open_SM = new Intent ("android.intent.action.SMS");
startActivity(open_SM);
If you want to run Sms as an Activity you need to turn the entire class into an Android Activity, or if you want Sms to be a utility don't use an Intent to start Sms as an Activity.

Fatal Exception on starting activity Android

I have created new activity that my MainActivity Should lunch, some why the application is crashing on the start of the new activity (called GamePlayActivity).
Here is the java code:
Intent startGameDrill = new Intent(MainActivity.this, GamePlayActivity.class);
startActivity(startGameDrill);
Here is the startGameDrill:
package com.simplemathgame;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class GamePlayActivity extends MainActivity {
int addDrills;
int subDrils;
int mulDrills;
int divDrills;
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_game_play);
try {
numberOfAddDrills = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.add_drills_number);
numberOfSubDrills = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.sub_drills_number);
numberOfMulDrills = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.mul_drills_number);
numberOfDivDrills = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.div_drills_number);
minBoundText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.min_text);
maxBoundText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.max_text);
} catch (Exception e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.w("game","error");
}
try {

Here is the layout of the GamePlayActivity:

<TextView
android:textColor="#FFFFFFFF"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:text="Addition Drills:"/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
Why does it crashes?

Have a look here:
12-21 22:06:32.818: E/AndroidRuntime(610): Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
12-21 22:06:32.818: E/AndroidRuntime(610): at com.simplemathgame.GamePlayActivity.onCreate(GamePlayActivity.java:31)
Line 31 of GamePlayActivity.java is this line:
addDrills = Integer.parseInt((String) numberOfAddDrills.getText());
Since the only thing on this line that you reference a member or method of is numberOfAddDrills, then it must be null.
Consider that you are checking for exceptions when using findViewById; however, if the view is not found it will just return null, not throw an exception.
Have a look at the activity_game_play.xml you posted; there is no TextView with android:id="#+id/add_drills_number". You need to create it, and the same deal for the other five TextViews.
Oh, and a hint: Don't just catch generic exceptions with } catch (Exception e1) {, especially if you have no intent of reading the logs. I can't tell you how many times people have missed errors from doing this.
If you want to pass values from another layout, you have two options: keep a reference to the View objects (this is a bit silly, don't do this); or pass the data you need from them to your new Activity:
startGameDrill.putExtra("myIntExtra", 5); // For example
Then, in GamePlayActivity.onCreate(), you can fetch it using getIntent()'s extras:
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
int myIntExtra = extras.getInt("myIntExtra");
Then use that value instead of relying on the view in the previous layout. There is a fuller example in this answer.

Follow the stacktrace until you find some references to your classes:
It shows:
12-21 22:06:32.818: E/AndroidRuntime(610): Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
12-21 22:06:32.818: E/AndroidRuntime(610): at com.simplemathgame.GamePlayActivity.onCreate(GamePlayActivity.java:31)
So you are creating a NullPointerException at line 31 in GamePlayActivity.java
Line 31:
addDrills = Integer.parseInt((String) numberOfAddDrills.getText());
so maybe numberOfAddDrills is null?

startActivity() forces closes my application

I cannot start a new activity no matter what I do.
I re-downloaded all Android SDKs again.
I re-downloaded Eclipse and installed ADT plugin again

Looks like you're trying to do some setup in your GameActivity's constructor, or initialise some fields before the activity's Context is fully initialised. You should really do all setup in onCreate(); don't use a constructor, and don't rely on the Context being usable until onCreate() is entered.
