android FATAL EXCEPTION: main when trying to start a new activity

I am writing an android app and am trying to start an activity from a button

The button calls the function startDb(), which is supposed to start the DB_manager activity.

The code and LogCat are shown below:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    public void Main(){

    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }


    @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;
    }

    public void startDb() {
        Intent activity1 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), DB_manager.class);
        startActivity(activity1);
        //finish();
    }
}

It gives the following error:

If you define onClick attribute for button in xml

   public void startDb(View v) {
    Intent activity1 = new Intent(MainActivity.this, DB_manager.class);
    startActivity(activity1);
    //finish();
     }

You can also remove this

    public void Main(){

    }

Change

public void startDb() {
    Intent activity1 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), DB_manager.class);
    startActivity(activity1);
    //finish();
}

to 

public void startDb(View v) {
    Intent activity1 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), DB_manager.class);
    startActivity(activity1);
    //finish();
}

I'm assuming you define your OnClick inxml. You need to have View as a parameter in your function header.

Also, it looks like you may be defining it in xml like

android:onClick="startDb()"

it should be

android:onClick="startDb"

No "()"

From the Docs

In order for this to work, the method must be public and accept a View as its only parameter. For example:
