java - How to add a class to AndroidManifest.xml file in Android Studio?

I switched over from eclipse to android studio and I'm trying to add an activity to my manifest file, I dont know the code I'm supposed to use and my app keeps crashing heres the code from my manifest

package="penis.jason.payday" >

    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
            android:name=".MainActivity"

        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        
            

            
        
    

                  android:label="Pay Day!!">


     

                  android:label="Pay Day!!">


     

what i have it doing is when the user pushes the settings button than it takes the to that class and new xml. heres the code i used to send the intent

Settings.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            Intent GoToSettings = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), settings.class);

            startActivity(GoToSettings);
            finish();
        }
    });

heres my logcat

                 }




             }
    }

_______UPDATE______
i found the problem!

i had to change the way i declared my button varables to this

 boolean FullScreen;
             Button SaveAndExit,Save,Cls;
             CheckBox FullScreenOnOff,SaveWarningOnOff;





                        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
                        int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
                        int month= cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1;
                        int day = cal.get(Calendar.DATE);

                        String  FullDate = (" "+month+"/"+day+"/"+year);
                        String Date=(String.valueOf(FullDate));


             @Override
             protected void onCreate(Bundle saveInstanceState){
                 super.onCreate(saveInstanceState);
                 this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
                 setContentView(R.layout.settings);


                FullScreen = getSharedPreferences("Settings",MODE_PRIVATE).getBoolean("FullScreen",false);
                 if(FullScreen==true){
                     this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

                    setContentView(R.layout.settings);
                 }

                 SaveAndExit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.SaveAndExit);
                 Save = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Save);
                 Cls = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Cls);
                 FullScreenOnOff = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.fullScreen);
                 SaveWarningOnOff = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.SaveWarningOnOff);

}
