Do not request Window.FEATURE_SUPPORT_ACTION_BAR and set windowActionBar to false in your theme to use a Toolbar instead.

You need to remove the ActionBar, before setting a toolbar. Set your app theme something like:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
Like #Habel Philip mentioned in his comment above, use a Handler to show the Splash screen for a limited time. In fact, I would suggest against using a Splash screen in the first place. This is the recommended pattern now (Launch Screen Pattern): https://www.bignerdranch.com/blog/splash-screens-the-right-way/

Android App crash with two activity

I follow this tutorial and i follow all the steps but when i start the app on my device it says it crashed.So i want to make the MainActivity show first and then if i click a Action bar menu, it will load the second activity (upload.java) ant it will show the upload_layout.I'm training making app for android so i'm not good to program ;)
HERE MY CODE:
MainActivity.java
package com.example.tosseapp.app;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.AssetManager;
import android.content.res.Resources;

#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);

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.upload, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
AndroidManifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

<application

<item android:id="#+id/action_settings"
android:title="#string/action_settings"
android:onClick="upload"
android:orderInCategory="100"
app:showAsAction="never" />
</menu>

You need to declare your MainActivity in your AndroidManifest.xml
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
<!-- other things -->
<activity
android:name="com.example.tosseapp.app.MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<!-- other activities, services, receivers & close application -->

You may need to add both your MainActivity and upload.java into your manifest, something like this:
<application
...
<activity
android:name="com.example.tosseapp.app.MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.example.tosseapp.app.upload"
android:label="#string/title_activity_display_message"
android:parentActivityName="com.example.tosseapp.app.MainActivity" >
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value="com.example.tosseapp.app.MainActivity" />
</activity>
</application>

Android - Eclipse ignoring Java code, only runs from XML file

I am new to Android development in Eclipse, and for some reason, when trying to run my Java code, Eclipse ignores it and only runs the XML code.
Here is my Java code so far:
package com.example.boat;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.ScrollView;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ScrollView mainView = new ScrollView(this);
LinearLayout mainLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
LinearLayout results = new LinearLayout(this);
mainView.addView(mainLayout);
mainLayout.addView(results);
results.setVisibility(View.GONE);
TextView mhs = new TextView(this);
mhs.setText("Maximum hull speed:");
mainLayout.addView(mhs);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#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;
}
}
Here is my XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.boat"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" android:installLocation="auto">
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="14"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.ser421assignment4.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>
</application>
</manifest>
Does anyone know what is wrong here? I prefer to use Java, not XML.

I'm not sure what you think isn't running but the only thing that will happen here is that your activity_main.xml will be inflated because of this line
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
All of the Java code before this is just creating Views but not being added to the inflated View with setContentView(). Once you call setContentView() that is what will be displayed. If you want to set those Views on this layout then you need to do it after your call to setContentView() and you have to add them to that layout...not just on each other.
However, in this situation, I see no need to create those dynamically. Just add them to your activity_main.xml and take those out of onCreate().

The application has stopped unexpectedly and all im trying to do is activate a button and go into another screen

I am doing a simple test to see if i can make an android game. All im tryihg to do is when the user clicks on my start button it goes into the game screen that for now says "Game screen" however when i click on the button it says the application has stopped Unexpected error has occured and i am forced to shut down.
I am new to eclipse and android but i am not new to java and my code has no errors
So if someone can help me fix this problem i would very much appreciate it
Here is my main:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
buttonClickMethod();
}
private void buttonClickMethod() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Button start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startB);
start.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
Intent i = new Intent(v.getContext(), GameView.class);
startActivityForResult(i,0);
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
here is my gameView code:
package com.example.coloroblind;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class GameView extends Activity{
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.game);
}
}
thanks for your input

I agree with Simon, whenever you make a new Intent , you have to entry it in your manifest file.
All your intents should be present over here.

I can pretty much guess your problem lies in the Android Manifest. Have you declared your GameView Activity there? It should be <activity android:name=".GameView" /> and here is some sample code where to put it.
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".GameView" />
</application>

error in xml parsing

i built a code that switch from one activity to another.
when run this code it prints following errors.
Error in an XML file: aborting build.
and
Installation error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_BAD_SHARED_USER_ID
here is my xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="wishme.code"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" android:sharedUserId="#string/app_name">

</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".Activity2"></activity>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
</manifest>
here is activity 1
package wishme.code;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Contacts.Intents;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.RadioButton;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class WishMeActivity extends Activity {
private EditText text;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
text=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
}
public void myClickhandler(View view)
{
switch(view.getId())
{
case R.id.button1:
RadioButton celsiusbutton=(RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.radio0);
RadioButton fahrenheit=(RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.radio2);
if(text.getText().length()==0)
{
Toast.makeText(this,"Enter a Valid Value",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return;
}
float input=Float.parseFloat(text.getText().toString());
if(celsiusbutton.isChecked())
{text.setText(String.valueOf(convertFahrenheitToCelsius(input)));
celsiusbutton.setChecked(false);
fahrenheit.setChecked(true);}
else
{
text.setText(String.valueOf(convertCelsiusToFahrenheit(input)));
fahrenheit.setChecked(false);
celsiusbutton.setChecked(true);
}
break;
case R.id.button_nxt:
Intent myintent=new Intent(view.getContext(),Activity2.class);
startActivityForResult(myintent, 0);
break;
}
}
private float convertFahrenheitToCelsius(float fahrenheit) {
return ((fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9);
}
// Converts to fahrenheit
private float convertCelsiusToFahrenheit(float celsius) {
return ((celsius * 9) / 5) + 32;
}
}
and finally this is activity 2
package wishme.code;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class Activity2 extends Activity{
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstancestate) {
super.onCreate(savedInstancestate);
setContentView(R.layout.main2);
Button previous=(Button) findViewById(R.id.button_prev);
}
public void prevclickhandler(View view)
{
Intent intent=new Intent();
setResult(RESULT_OK,intent);
finish();
}
}
please suggest me the solution.

I you just want to go from one activity to another, then you dont need to give the sharedUserID. Its used in cases where you have two different applications that are signed with same certificate and you want to share data between them or you want them to run in the same process.
If you remove it, it should solve your problem.
For information about sharedUserID: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html#uid

This may be due to your sharedUserId value being of a non-permitted value. It has to have the same format as the package structure (e.g. com.android).
