I want to move from one activity to another (using virtual device). When I click on button to move, My emulator ones a dialog box showing unfortunately SMS1 has stopped working (SMS1 is my app name).

Can anybody help me in correcting my code?

MainActivity.java:

package com.example.sms1;

 import android.os.Bundle;
 import android.app.Activity;
 import android.content.Intent;
 import android.view.Menu;
 import android.view.View;
 import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
 import android.widget.Button;
 import android.widget.TextView;

 public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener
 {

Button b1;
TextView tv1;
 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
 {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    tv1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);

    b1.setOnClickListener(this);

 }

@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 void onClick(View v)
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),NextActivity.class);
    startActivity(i);
    setContentView(R.layout.avtivity_next);
}



}

Here is the NextActivity

package com.example.sms1;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class NextActivity extends Activity {

TextView tv1;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.avtivity_next);
    tv1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
}


@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;
}

}

        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

First You have to use this code in MainActivity.java class

@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),NextActivity.class);
    startActivity(i);

}

You can pass intent this way.

Second

add proper entry into manifest.xml file.

<activity android:name=".NextActivity" />

Now see what happens.
