I got ActivityNotFoundException error when i was trying to startup a new activity in android

I am trying to start an activity that setup an email account from my main activity. Its not working and driving me nuts. What I have is:

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
    {
        public void onClick(View v)
        {
            EditText username = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
            EditText password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);

            ComponentName cname = new ComponentName("com.android.email",
            "com.android.email.activity.setup.AccountSetupBasics");
            Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
            intent.putExtra("com.android.email.AccountSetupBasics.username", username.getText().toString());
            intent.putExtra("com.android.email.AccountSetupBasics.password", password.getText().toString());
            intent.putExtra("com.android.email.extra.eas_flow", true);
            intent.setComponent(cname);
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            context.startActivity(intent);
        }
    });

Manifest is:

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.example.test.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

And I always get this error:

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.android.email/com.android.email.activity.setup.AccountSetupBasics}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

I'm new to this, who can tell me how to solve this error?

Any response is much appreciated.

You can only start other's activity if it is exported. Check if com.android.email.activity.setup.AccountSetupBasics is. And you should always do try/catch as startActivity() can throw exception for more reasons and if you will let it go uncaught, your app will crash
