Don't Understand Why My App Is Crashing

Question

Hey so I'm new to Android development and I'm currently creating an app. So far all I want to do is link the button on my main activity to open the login activity page. When I start the app on my phone it runs with the errors below. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Here's my Android Manifest just in case:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.damien.paysafe1_0_a" >

    <!-- To auto-complete the email text field in the login form with the user's emails -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PROFILE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            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=".LoginActivity" >
        </activity>
    </application>


</manifest>

EDIT: Code for Main Activity:

package com.example.damien.paysafe1_0_a;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Button new_user_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.new_user_button);
        new_user_button.setOnClickListener((OnClickListener) this);
    }

    public void onClick(View v) {
        Log.i("clicks", "You Clicked New User");
        Intent i=new Intent(MainActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
        startActivity(i);
    }

}

Answer 1

Your Activity not implements OnClickListener,but you cast the activity into OnClickListener,so it case class cast exception

Answer 2

You can try it:

new_user_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            Log.i("clicks", "You Clicked New User");
            Intent i=new Intent(MainActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
            startActivity(i);
        }
    });

Answer 3

You must implement onClickListener on your Activity. i.e.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener{

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    Button new_user_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.new_user_button);
    new_user_button.setOnClickListener(this);
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    Log.i("clicks", "You Clicked New User");
    Intent i=new Intent(MainActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
    startActivity(i);
}

}
