title: Switch view using intent (android studio)
body: <p>I have been trying to switch view using Intent and onClick. When i click on the button my app crashes. I have browsed trough similiar problems asked here but none of them seem to apply to what i have. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could give me a vague hint on what is wrong with my code.</p>
  
  <p>The button XML: </p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;Button
      android:id="@+id/shapes"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="SHAPES"
      android:textSize="16dp"
      android:paddingBottom="20dp"
      android:paddingTop="20dp"
      android:paddingLeft="25dp"
      android:paddingRight="25dp"
      android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
      android:layout_below="@+id/textView"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
      android:onClick="onShapes"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When button is clicked start Shapes.class (from MainActivity):</p>
  
  <pre><code>    public void onShapes(View view) {
      Intent startShapes = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Shapes.class);
      startActivity(startShapes);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Shapes.class, sets view to content_shapes: </p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.example.******.****.buttonns;
  
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
  import com.example.******.****.R;
  
  public class Shapes extends AppCompatActivity {
  
      @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.content_shapes);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>content_shapes (the view i want to see when pressing the button):</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
      xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
      android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
      android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
      android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
      app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
      tools:context="com.example.*******.*****.buttonns.Shapes"&gt;
  
      &lt;TextView
          android:text="Helloooo"
          android:gravity="center"
          android:textSize="32dp"
          android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:id="@+id/Shapes_text" /&gt;
  
  &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And i also put this in the Manifest:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;activity
          android:name=".buttonns.Shapes"
          android:label="@string/title_activity_shapes"
          android:parentActivityName=".MainActivity"
          android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"&gt;
          &lt;meta-data
              android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
              android:value="com.example.********.*****.MainActivity" /&gt;
      &lt;/activity&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have been trying to figure out the fault for hours now.
  By the way I am a total noob at Java, XML and Android Studio so dont hate me if I forgot something trivial. </p>
