How can i start a different activity on item click

Question

i followed numerous tuitorials like http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2013/09/android-listview-with-adapter-example.html Also followed the questions asked here How to make custom ListView to open other activities when clicking list item? However after trying the answers here(How to make custom ListView to open other activities when clicking list item?) my app keeps stopping whenever i select an item from my listview. My main activity code:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
	  ListView list;
	  String[] web = {
			  "Notifications",
			  "School",
			  "What's Hot",
			  "Tell a friend",
			  "Hit us up",
			  "Settings",
			  "About & Help"
	  };
@Override
	  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
	    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
	    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
	    CustomList adapter = new
	        CustomList(MainActivity.this, web, imageId);
	    list=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
	        list.setAdapter(adapter);
	        list.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
	        	@Override
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                                        int position, long id) {
	        		switch(position){
	        		case 0:  Intent newActivity = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Notifications.class);     
	                startActivity(newActivity);
	                break;
	       case 1:  Intent newActivity1 = new Intent(MainActivity.this, School.class);     
	                startActivity(newActivity1);
	                break;
	       case 2:  Intent newActivity2 = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Whats_hot.class);     
	                startActivity(newActivity2);
	                break;
	       case 3:  Intent newActivity3 = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Tellafriend.class);     
	                startActivity(newActivity3);
	                break;
	       case 4:  Intent newActivity4 = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Hitusup.class);     
	                startActivity(newActivity4);
	                break;
	       case 5:  Intent newActivity5 = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Settings.class);     
           startActivity(newActivity5);
           break;
  case 6:  Intent newActivity6 = new Intent(MainActivity.this, AboutHelp.class);     
           startActivity(newActivity6);
           break;
  
	        	 }
	        	
	        	}
	        @SuppressWarnings("unused")
	        public void onClick(View v){ 
      };
    });}
}

Here is the code of one of the activities (School)am trying to start :

public class School extends Activity{
	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.detail);
	
	
	Intent newActivity1=new Intent();
	setResult(RESULT_OK, newActivity1);
    finish();
	}

}

On my manifest i added this:

</activity>
        <activity android:name=".Notifications"></activity>
            <activity android:name=".School"></activity>
                <activity android:name=".Whats_hot"></activity>
                    <activity android:name=".Tellafriend"></activity>
                        <activity android:name=".Hitusup"></activity>
                            <activity android:name=".Settings"></activity>
                                <activity android:name=".AboutHelp">
            

My logcat: 11-10 14:25:58.080: W/dalvikvm(13150): Refusing to reopen boot DEX '/system/framework/hwframework.jar' 11-10 14:25:59.360: I/Adreno200-EGL(13150): : EGL 1.4 QUALCOMM build: AU_LINUX_ANDROID_JB_REL_2.0.3.04.01.01.21.010_msm8625_JB_REL_2.0.3_Merge_release_AU (Merge) 11-10 14:25:59.360: I/Adreno200-EGL(13150): Build Date: 10/26/12 Fri 11-10 14:25:59.360: I/Adreno200-EGL(13150): Local Branch: 11-10 14:25:59.360: I/Adreno200-EGL(13150): Remote Branch: quic/jb_rel_2.0.3 11-10 14:25:59.360: I/Adreno200-EGL(13150): Local Patches: NONE 11-10 14:25:59.360: I/Adreno200-EGL(13150): Reconstruct Branch: AU_LINUX_ANDROID_JB_REL_2.0.3.04.01.01.21.010 + NOTHING 11-10 14:26:00.450: I/Choreographer(13150): Skipped 90 frames!

There's something wrong somewhere that i cannot see.I'm new to android development and any help from you guys would be very much appreciated.

By doing this way you don't have to write all the switch case for activity.

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  ListView list;
  String[] web = {
          "Notifications",
          "School",
          "What's Hot",
          "Tell a friend",
          "Hit us up",
          "Settings",
          "About & Help"
  };
  String[] s1 = {
          "Notifications",
          "School",
          "Whats_hot",
          "Tellafriend",
          "Hitusup",
          "Settings",
          "AboutHelp"
  };


  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    CustomList adapter = new
    CustomList(MainActivity.this, web, imageId);
    list=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
    list.setAdapter(adapter);
    list.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                                    int position, long id) {
                String a=s1[position];
                Class a1= null;
                try {
                     a1 =    Class.forName("<Your Package name>."+a);
                } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                     e.printStackTrace();
                }
                startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this,a1));

            }
        @SuppressWarnings("unused")
        public void onClick(View v){ 
        };
     });
  }

}

Don't forget to put point '.' immediately after your package name.

Your code is running fine. I made it without Customadapter. All you need is below.

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {


    String[] web = {
              "Notifications",
              "School",
              "What's Hot",
              "Tell a friend",
              "Hit us up",
              "Settings",
              "About & Help"
      };

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

      ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, 
      R.layout.activity_listview, web);

      ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
      list.setAdapter(adapter);

      list.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
          @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                                    int position, long id) {
                switch(position){
                case 0:  Intent newActivity = new Intent(MainActivity.this, School.class);     
                startActivity(newActivity);
                break;


             }

            }
        @SuppressWarnings("unused")
        public void onClick(View v){ 
            };
        });

   }//end oncreate


}//endactivity

School.java

public class School extends Activity{
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.school);


    Intent newActivity1=new Intent();
    setResult(RESULT_OK, newActivity1);
    //finish();

public class Menu extends ListActivity {
    String classes[]={"startingPoint","TextPlay","TextPlayPerfectJavaCode","EXAMPLE2","example3","example4"};
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(Menu.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,classes);
    setListAdapter(adapter);
}

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    String className=classes[position];
    Class ourClass=null;
    try{
        ourClass=Class.forName("travis.thenewboston.com.thenewboston."+className);
        Intent ourIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ourClass);//replacing Menu.this - getApplicationContext()

    }
    catch (ClassNotFoundException e){

    }
    finally {
        Toast.makeText(Menu.this, "Clicked at Position: "+Integer.toString(position), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

}
