I have a problem switching activity when a user would click on a link from MainActivity, the app will just shut down, i am not sure if i have a problem with the project structure or declaring the class correctly and the extends.
Basically what i did is try to implement Firebase example project provided on the website into one activity i have in my app, in order to have a way to let members log in, i striped down the initial code provided here and implemented it in my second activity window, the code in the link is for the MainActivity and i wanted it to be as LoginFragment ( only a name ) didnt use fragments.
thus after minimizing the code ( deleting google, facebook, etc ) options i ended up with this :

and as you would guys see i declared the class as public and extended AppCompatActivity ( not sure what i had to extend just learned that from another tutorial ) i also tried to extend it from Application, which i thought could work, but then all sort of errors poped up in the code listed :
in the manifesto :

in line 27 under .LoginFragment it says that it is not assignable to android.app.activity ?
and then in the code itself LoginFragment :
i get these errors which i could not solve : line 58 - setContentView cant resolve this method ? setContentView(R.layout.fragment_login);
line 63 findViewById also cant resolve this method ?
mPasswordLoginButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login_with_password);
the same anonymous option line 75 mAnonymousLoginButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login_anonymously);
the same problem with line 86 findViewById ? mLoggedInStatusTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.login_status);
Apparently i need to create findViewById mehtod if i want to extends Application, but i did not proceed with this since i do not know if i should extends from Application, considering i do not get any of these errors in the code when i extends from MainActivity or AppCompatActivity
also i get on line 114 cant resolve this method super.onDestroy();
and few others .... ?
so i am not sure how to solve this problem ? should i extends Application and tackle these errors ( and how to solve these errrors ) or keep the extend of MainActivity or AppCompatActivity ? which contain no error in the code but will not function properly switching activity:
my MainActivity is :
package net.we4x4.we4x4;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.VideoView;
import com.firebase.client.Firebase;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public static final String VID_URL = "http://res.cloudinary.com/wi4x4/video/upload/v1457270321/bolivia_njb6r0.mp4";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
Firebase.setAndroidContext(this);
VideoView vid = (VideoView)findViewById(R. id.VidClip);
Uri video = Uri.parse(VID_URL);
vid.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
vid.setVideoURI(video);
vid.requestFocus();
}
}
public void switchToLoginFragment(View v) {
Intent LoginFragment = new Intent(this, LoginFragment.class);
startActivity(LoginFragment);
}
public void switchToRegister(View v) {
Intent Register = new Intent(this, Register.class);
startActivity(Register);
}
}
and the error log is :
