Activity does not starts

Question

When i press button to start new activity, applications goes to main activity instead.
I am really confused because, there is no any error. Also I have log message in On create of desired activity - it does not pop up. Can you please tell me what can cause such strange behaviour?

    public void btnAtcEdit(View v) {
        Log.d("ATS", "i tried to go to ATS believe me");
        try {
            Log.d("ATS", " i tried to go to ATS 2 believe me");
            // convert bitmap to bytearray to pass them in intent
            final BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable1 = (BitmapDrawable) photo1
                    .getDrawable();
            final Bitmap yourBitmap1 = bitmapDrawable1.getBitmap();
            ByteArrayOutputStream stream1 = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            yourBitmap1.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, stream1);
            byte[] imm1 = stream1.toByteArray();

            final BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable2 = (BitmapDrawable) photo2
                    .getDrawable();
            final Bitmap yourBitmap2 = bitmapDrawable2.getBitmap();
            ByteArrayOutputStream stream2 = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            yourBitmap2.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, stream2);
            byte[] imm2 = stream2.toByteArray();

            final BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable3 = (BitmapDrawable) photo3
                    .getDrawable();
            final Bitmap yourBitmap3 = bitmapDrawable3.getBitmap();
            ByteArrayOutputStream stream3 = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            yourBitmap3.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, stream3);

            byte[] imm3 = stream3.toByteArray();
            Intent i = new Intent(AddToCheckActivity.this,
            AddSaveActivity.class);

            i.putExtra("photo1", imm1);
            /*
                        putting more parameters
                        */
            i.putExtra("not_priceFor", not_priceFor);

            startActivity(i);
            stream1.flush();
            stream1.close();
            stream2.flush();
            stream2.close();
            stream3.flush();
            stream3.close();
//          finish();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d("ATS error", "before entered ATS");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

AddSaveActivity

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.aadd_add_edit);
        Log.d("ATS", "was started");
                /*
                some job
                */
                }

Log cat is empty It just shos, that button was pressed.

onClickListener for button is defiend in xml

 <Button
                android:id="@+id/btnAtcEdic"
                android:layout_width="0px"

Interesting thing - always works without any sign of error on HTC phons.

EDIT: after i moved imm form intent to singleton, app seems to work properly

Answer 1

The problem was imposed by bytearrays. Intent is not suppossed to be used to transmit large ammount of data. After I moved bytearrays from intent to singleton class I have not had that problem any more.

Answer 2

You can't start an Activity using the Application Context. You can only start them with another Activity Context.

The following change should fix this. Substitute your Activity name for <YourCallingActivity>

Intent i = new Intent(<YourCallingActivity>.this, AddSaveActivity.class);

For reference, here is a guide on which kind of context is needed in which place:

Answer 3

U can try:

            stream1.flush();
            stream1.close();
            stream2.flush();
            stream2.close();
            stream3.flush();
            stream3.close();

 Intent i = new Intent(SecondActivity.this,
                    AddSaveActivity.class);

            i.putExtra("photo1", imm1);
            /*
                        putting more parameters
                        */
            i.putExtra("not_priceFor", not_priceFor);

            startActivity(i);
