Assuming you're using Eclipse,

Goto your Android Manifest, goto the Applications Tab (at the bottom), click on "Add", Choose Activity. On the right, next to Name: Click on Browse, to get a list of available activities, just add it and you're set! :)

You could right way just edit the Manifest XML aswell. It's upto you.

@transistor, Yeah, this is from 2010. Android was still in its infancy. – st0le Mar 13 '17 at 09:03
