    </activity>
</application>

the above is the manifest code i am using i am sure i have registered the activity

The app is working now with no problems after i changed the M with m and started a new project.

Answer 1

Check the spelling of your Activity name in the Manifest file, its wrong. It should be Gossipmate instead of GossipMate.

UPDATE

Try putting this line in your manifest android:name="com.example.gossipmate.mobi.Gossipmate" instead of android:name=".GossipMate"

Answer 2

In your AndroidManifest.xml. the name of the activity is android:name=".GossipMate" with m of mate is capital letter, where in the activity it's Gossipmate !!!

check java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo
