Change
<activity android:name=".rss.RssService" />
to
<service android:name=".rss.RssService" />
And if you want to start service use method
startService(Intent);
by
startActivity(Intent);

You need to call a different method for services:
Intent loader_rssnik = new Intent(this, RssService.class);
startService(loader_rssfuji);

Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo, android using java

UPDATE
Like an idiot I did not pay attention to the logCat.
The problem was coming from the page I was navigating to, not the intent itself, I was declaring some code before the setContentView code has a chance to run within onContentLoad().
Thanks for all the help!
I know this question has been asked before, but I have followed numerous posts about this topic; but can't seem to find the right answer.
I am trying to navigate from my MainActivity page, to my ViewFeeds page; but it is throwing the above error.
The funny thing is, I have already got the code to navigate between pages, and it works. But when I come to duplicate this code for another class, it throws the above error.
MainActivity Code (The one I am navigating from):
public void btnFeedsClick(View v)
{
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ViewFeeds.class);
MainActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
The ViewFeeds class (The one I am navigating to):
package com.example.rssapplication;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class ViewFeeds extends Activity{
//The array which holds all of the data...
ArrayList<String> items = new ArrayList<String>();
ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.viewfeeds);
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.hide();
items = new ArrayList<String>();
String ret = "";
try {
InputStream inputStream = openFileInput("Teams.txt");
InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);
String receiveString = "";
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
// Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, receiveString, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
try {
while ( (receiveString = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null ) {
items.add(receiveString);
stringBuilder.append(receiveString + "\r\n");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
inputStream.close();
//ret holds each line of text from the file...
ret = stringBuilder.toString();
TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView6);
txt.setText(ret);
ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
items);
lv.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

The problem is this:
ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
You are calling findViewById() too early! You always have to be aware of the Activity Lifecycle! findViewById() can only be called after you set a layout with setContentView().
You should look for Views in onCreate() like this:
public class ViewFeeds extends Activity {
private ArrayList<String> items = new ArrayList<String>();
private ListView lv;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.viewfeeds);
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
...
}
...
}

1st problem declare this inside onCreate(...) after setContentView(R.layout.ur_layout)
ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
2nd problem as your application's android:minSdkVersion="8" you should use
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
instead of Activity you have to extends ActionBarActivity of appcompat v7 support library
ActionbarActivity

Initialize your RequestQueue, using Volley.newRequestQueue(this);, in onCreate() after the super.onCreate() call. You are trying to use your Activity from an initializer, which frequently causes problems like this.
Step #1: Replace:
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
with:
RequestQueue queue = null;
Step #2: Change your onCreate() to be:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
queue=Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
AutenticacaoLocalTask mAutenticacaoLocalTask = new AutenticacaoLocalTask();
mAutenticacaoLocalTask.execute((Void) null);
}

I know I have already asked this question but no one answered after the first answer which I changed what he told me and still no result

First, try cleaning your project (e.g., Project > Clean from the Eclipse main menu). If that does not help, you have a RelativeLayout in activity_main_page.xml that has the wrong android:id value, apparently. Which ID it is using would be based on line 23 of your Home.java class, whichever line that is.

you don't deserve but:
12-11 11:36:27.291: E/AndroidRuntime(336): Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.RelativeLayout
12-11 11:36:27.291: E/AndroidRuntime(336): at com.example.decrypter.Home.onCreate(Home.java:23)
that means... on com.example.decrypter.Home.OnCreate, on line 23 you're casting something to RelativeLayout, and it's NOT a relative layout!

RunTimeException when trying to implement GPS Locater

I am working on adding GPS location services to my app. However I get this error I just can't seem to fix. I have included all of my relevant coding. And if anybody has comments on any of my coding not related to the error I would appreciate them too.
