Start Activity Using Custom Action

Issue

I am looking to start an activity in my app using a custom action. I have found a few answers but everything I try it throws java.lang.RuntimeException saying No Activity found to handle Intent { act=com.example.foo.bar.YOUR_ACTION }.

This is the activity in my manifest file:

<activity
    android:name=".FeedbackActivity" >  
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.example.foo.bar.YOUR_ACTION" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

And this is how I'm starting the activity:

Intent intent = new Intent("com.example.foo.bar.YOUR_ACTION");
startActivity(intent);

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Solution

I think you are creating your intent wrong. Try like this:

String CUSTOM_ACTION = "com.example.foo.bar.YOUR_ACTION";

//Intent i = new Intent(this, FeedBackActivity.class);  // <--- You might need to do it this way.
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(CUSTOM_ACTION);

startActivity(i);
