please edit and put logfile inside a code block - this is too hard to read. also the this.setContentView(R.layout.searchm); looks whacky to me... — Howard Pautz
– Howard Pautz, Commented Sep 9, 2013 at 18:41
in your layout file which has Autocomplete textView, change it to your package. — Rachit Mishra

Change your CustomAutoCompleteTextView XML to

From

<android.view.CustomAutoCompleteTextView
    ... 
    android:id="@+id/autocomplete"/>

to

<com.yourpackage.CustomAutoCompleteTextView 
    ... 
    android:id="@+id/autocomplete"/>

From your main activity do this to start a new Intent since it is inside an onclick

    Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,SearchActivity.class);
    //start the second Activity
    startActivity(intent);

And inside your SearchActivity set the contentview like this...

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.searchm);

Also check your manifest whether you have registered both these activities or not.
