Android - No Activity found (What am I missing and How did you know)
<p><strong>SOLUTION:</strong></p>

<pre><code> &lt;activity
        android:name=".Specials"
        android:label="@string/app_name" &gt;
        &lt;intent-filter&gt;
            &lt;action android:name="com.kita.MyGardenCenterApp.SPECIALS" /&gt;

            &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /&gt;
        &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
    &lt;/activity&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>OK the infamous "No Activity Found" error.</p>

<p><strong>Button:</strong></p>

<pre><code>Button btnSpecials = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSpecials);
    btnSpecials.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {  

        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            startActivity(new Intent("com.kita.MyGardenCenterApp.SPECIALS")); 
        }
    });
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Manifest:</strong></p>

<pre><code>&lt;activity
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:name=".Specials" &gt;
        &lt;intent-filter &gt;
            &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.SPECIALS" /&gt;
            &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt;
        &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
    &lt;/activity&gt;
</code></pre>

<p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>

<p>In response to some of your answers, I have another app that uses the the following code and it is working fine.  This is why I am on here asking.  I want to do this the right way.</p>

<p>Also my .java file is Specials.java </p>

<pre><code>&lt;activity
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:name=".mainAboutUs" &gt;
        &lt;intent-filter &gt;
            &lt;action android:name="com.kita.PapaStew.MAINABOUTUS" /&gt;

            &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /&gt;
        &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
    &lt;/activity&gt;
