    }

Answer 1

In your depends compile:

'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'

and set multiDexEnabled true.

In YourApplication: extends MultiDexApplication

add this:

@Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(this);
    }

Finally in AndroidManifest declare: android:name=".MyApplication"

Answer 2

In the Public class perv you wrote this:

setContentView(com.gosha.bux.R.layout.pervy);

You wrote pervy, instead of perv and this will possibly cause this error

Answer 3

  Intent openMainActivity = new Intent("com.gosha.bux.MAINACTIVITY");
                startActivity(openMainActivity);

is wrong, instead use:

Intent openMainActivity = new Intent(this, YourMainActivity.class);

Answer 4

Simply do this

Intent i = new Intent(getapplicationcontext(),
                            TARGET_Activity.class);
                    startActivity(i);

and in manifest

<activity
            android:name="com.your.packagename.TARGET_Activity"

            android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
        </activity>
