Answer 1

Your package is com.reaf.xml and your activity name is com.read.xml.DataHandler (you have a mistake in your package name).

Please accord them by setting package to com.read.xml and activity name to .DataHandler.

Answer 2

It is not able to initialize the DataHandler when you the call of newInstance method . Please ensure that you provide nullary constructor for DataHandler class. For other reasons check with the API doc
