    if (!appDel.connected) {
        String serverIp;
        int serverPort;

        serverIp = ipField.getText().toString();    
        serverPort = Integer.parseInt(portField.getText().toString());
        appDel.createClientThread(serverIp, serverPort);
    }

    int x;
    for (x = 0; x < 4; x++) {// every quarter second for one second check if
                                // the server is reachable
        if (appDel.connected) {
            startActivity(new Intent(view.getContext(), Controller.class));

    sendToAppDel("CLICK" + delim + "F5");
}

public void clickNote(View view){

}

public void clickMenu(View view){

}
}

i think mistake is somewhere in class controller but i can find it, please help me. Thank

Post your AndroidManifest.xml code. May be you forgot to include activity name in manifest. — fida1989

A stack trace will be helpful, but the reason for that exception is that your code is creating a NullPointerException in the Activity's onCreate() method which causes the method to prematurely exit, leaving the Activity not created, hence the RuntimeException: Unable to start activity.

Solution: debug your onCreate() code to see where you're performing an operation on the unexpected null and handle it more gracefully.

Possible culprits:

left.setWidth(width / 2); // left = null

right.setWidth(width / 2); // right = null

touchView.setOnTouchListener(this); // touchView = null

Sorry, can't be more precise w/o a stacktrace.

Best to proceed with actual debugging. Maybe this question+answer would be helpful in that regard: stackoverflow.com/questions/8551818/…
