Unfortunately, <application name> has stopped. (Android)

I am learning android, I am trying to develop game, I have two classes "Starter" and "Board". Starter class contains menu(http://postimg.org/image/dnyvoey2l/). Its Exit and Help buttons are working properly, but when I press "Two Player" option instead of showing board it shows an error (Unfortunately, (Application Name) has stopped). I am sharing code snippet , please suggest solution.

twop.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent tow= new Intent(Starter.this, Selector.class);
                startActivity(tow);

            }
        });

You can't show View using startActivity() method

Intent tow= new Intent(Starter.this, Board.class);
startActivity(tow);

Board should be extended from Activity not from View class. Create an BoardActivity.java and extend it from Activity.

You should then add Board View either from XML or programmatically using setContentView(); in your onCreate() method.

Edit

Don't forget to add new Activity in your Manifest.xml file. Like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="your.application.package.name">
    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name=".Starter" android:label="@string/app_name"></activity>
        <activity android:name=".Selector"></activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

Below is my idea. The code of OnClick means starting a new activity.

Intent tow= new Intent(Starter.this, Board.class);
startActivity(tow);

However, the Board is a View, not an activity. So, you should make Board inherit from Activity (or create other activity to hold the Board). When creating any activity, make sure to register in manifest.
