startActivity not working

        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
            long id) {
        //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Position of selected item is: "+   position, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        if ("Abiding in Christ".equals(categories[position]))
                {startActivity(AbidingInChrist.class);}
        else if ("Abundant Living".equals(categories[position]))
                {startActivity(AbundantLiving.class);}
        else if ("Access to God".equals(categories[position]))
                {startActivity(AccessToGod.class);}
        else if ("Adoration of God".equals(categories[position]))
                {startActivity(AdorationOfGod.class);}
        else if ("Amazing Grace".equals(categories[position]))
                {startActivity(AmazingGrace.class);}

all of the startActivity s are underlined in red and want me to change to something or create a method same name. I did add all the activities to the manifest, but some of them didn't work:

  <activity android:name=".AbidingInChrist"</activity>
    <activity android:name=".AbundantLiving</activity>
    <activity android:name=".AccessToGod</activity>
    <activity android:name=".AdorationOfGod</activity>
    <activity android:name=".AmazingGrace</activity>
    <activity android:name=".AnsweredPrayer</activity>
    <activity android:name=".Atonement</activity>
    <activity android:name=".Attitudes</activity>
    <activity android:name=".Belief</activity>
    <activity android:name=".Blessing</activity>
    <activity android:name=".BloodOfJesus</activity>
    <activity android:name=".Boldness</activity>
    <activity android:name=".Brokenness</activity>
    <activity android:name=".Calling</activity>
    <activity android:name=".Comfort</activity>
    <activity android:name=".Commitment</activity>

It's hard to tell here, but every other one was in red saying that it was missing the android namespace prefix.

Appreciate ya'll!

I know that this is an old question. Might be a bit irrelevant to the question details. But hopefully, might help someone who lands on this question for a similar issue.

In my case, "context.startActivity(...)" was supposed to launch an activity in a pendingIntent (when the app is in the background). It wasn't working because I had "Display over other apps" set as "Not allowed", in the application settings. Added the permission for the same and enabled it, to resolve the issue.

Try to create Intent and start Activity passing this intent like 

// Create intent to start new Activity
Intent intent = new Intent(context, YourActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

The startActivity method takes an Intent as parameter. Yo are trying to pass a class and that's why you get the "red underline"

try this:

    if ("Abiding in Christ".equals(categories[position]))
            {startActivity(new Intent(this, AbidingInChrist.class));}
    else if ("Abundant Living".equals(categories[position]))
            {startActivity(new Intent(this, AbundantLiving.class));}
    else if ("Access to God".equals(categories[position]))
            {startActivity(new Intent(this, AccessToGod.class));}
    else if ("Adoration of God".equals(categories[position]))
            {startActivity(new Intent(this, AdorationOfGod.class));}
    else if ("Amazing Grace".equals(categories[position]))
            {startActivity(new Intent(this, AmazingGrace.class));}

Also in you manifest don't forget to close the quotes when you declare an activity

        <activity android:name=".AbidingInChrist"></activity>
        <activity android:name=".AbundantLiving"></activity>
        <activity android:name=".AccessToGod"></activity>

etc

In your code try to use an intent to start activity:

   Intent i = new Intent(ACTUALACTIVITY.this, OTHERACTIVITY.class);
                startActivity(i);

and in your manifest put your activity full address (package.activity) like below:

<application>
(...)
            <activity
                android:name="packagename.YOURACTIVITY">
            </activity>
</application>
