read from file in android using assets

Question

I am trying to read file from assets in android. I want every button to print a paragraph, for example the first button prints the first paragraph and the second button print the second paragraph. I tried with the code below but its not working.

I get this error message:

03-03 18:40:17.800: E/AndroidRuntime(977): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 
03-03 18:40:17.800: E/AndroidRuntime(977): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=com.example.hajjapp.AfterHajj }

Can anyone tell me where the problem is?

}
}

Answer 1

Use new line character to split the paragraphs. All paragraphs start with a new line, so use

before.split("\\\n");

This shall do the job for you.

Answer 2

Use escape symbols to make the '*' be recognized by split, e.g. s.split("\\*");

Answer 3

Somewhere, you are trying to start an activity that is supposed to be implemented in the Java class com.example.hajjapp.AfterHajj. The error message is telling you that there is no <activity> element in the manifest for this class. Also note that the code you pasted into your question is from a Java class named BeforeHajj.
