locationlocator.class: This is second class

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

import com.google.android.maps.MapView;
import com.google.android.maps.MyLocationOverlay;

public class locationlocator extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
//    @Override
//    protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
//        return false;
// }
   
    final String httpPath = "addressInput";
    private MapView map;
    private Button btnSearch;
    public static EditText addressInput;
    private ProgressDialog pd;
    private Vector<String> v1;
    private MyLocationOverlay me=null;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

    //    map = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview); // Get map from XML
        btnSearch = (Button) findViewById(R.id.simplebtn_search); // Get button from xml
        addressInput = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.simpleadress);
        btnSearch.setOnClickListener(this);   

    }
   
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
       
        startActivity( new Intent(locationlocator.this,mapfinder.class));
    }
   
   
}
After making this class. u can also add XML file for both of class.Also remember to add permission in manifest file.
May b this code helpful for you.
