For example: <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; package="com.commonsware.android.foo"> <application> <activity android:name=".Foo" android:label="Foo"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest> Here, the android:name of ".Foo" means Android will interpret Foo as being com.commonsware.android.foo.Foo, since com.commonsware.android.foo is the package declared at the top. The one you have doesn't show a leading dot, meaning Android might think that "Success" is the fully-qualified class name including package. Assuming that's not the case, try adding the dot and see if it helps. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development -- coming in June 2008! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
