Android Crashing on user logout

I have the following code which is executed once the user clicks a button

public void logout(){

        // redirect user back to login screen activity
        Intent i = new Intent(this, LoginActivity.class);
        // Closing all the Activities
        i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

        // Add new Flag to start new Activity
        i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

        // start Login Activity
        startActivity(i);
    }

However each time the button is clicked, the emulator crashes. Any ideas what i might be doing wrong?

The issue was prior to this method being called. I was trying to set the text on an EditText item that was part of another layout

You can set flags instead by doing 

i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK));

I doubt this is your issue though, make sure you are calling startActivity from within the Activity and the correct Thread, and make sure there are no issues with the onCreate of your LoginActivity.

Is this consistent with more than one emulator? Try a different configuration, and also check your AndroidManifest.xml file, is the second Activity defined?
