This is my log. I added two buttons and tried to tie it to and activity.

activity code: public class MenuActivity extends Activity { private Button btRecordPath; private Button btHistory;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.menu_activity);

/**/ btRecordPath_ = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnrecordPath); // btHistory = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_history);

    btRecordPath_.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent myIntent = new Intent(MenuActivity.this, MapActivitySecond.class);
            MenuActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
        }
    });
}

}

the logcat points the line 20 which is where I put the /**/

                       *
                     *   *

Edit:

Well I solved the problem. 1- In my activity I should have declared the buttons as FancyButton instead of Button 2- In my androidManifest I should have registered my activity by adding <activity android:name=".MapActivitySecond" android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"/> under the main activity in the application tag. Very easy going library, thanks again
