I searched this and found many solutions but none of them works for me .

I want to start new activity from another package. I use this

Intent myIntent = new Intent(this,my_class.class); 
startActivityForResult(myIntent ,6161);

it gives this error:

  java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity

Just do this

Intent myIntent = new Intent(this,my_class.class); 
startActivity(myIntent);

Do this in your AndroidManifest.xml

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="Activity1"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name="com.example.Activity2"></activity>
</application>

Note:- Activity1 is your first activity and Activity2 is your second activity May this help you

To call an activity from another package (application): 

Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
PackageManager manager = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
myIntent = manager.getLaunchIntentForPackage(YourPackageName);
myIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
startActivityForResult(myIntent ,6161);
