Access Google Translate App through intents in android

Question

I am developing an Android application where I am invoking the Google Translate app via Intents. The procedure described here was really helpful but I cannot figure out why my app crashes saying "No Activity found to handle Intent".

Thanks in Advance!

Here is my code,

public void translate()
{
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "hello");
    intent.putExtra("key_text_input", "hello");
    intent.putExtra("key_text_output", "");
    intent.putExtra("key_language_from", "en");
    intent.putExtra("key_language_to", "mal");
    intent.putExtra("key_suggest_translation", "");
    intent.putExtra("key_from_floating_window", false);
            new ComponentName(
                "com.google.android.apps.translate",
                "com.google.android.apps.translate.HomeActivity");
    startActivity(intent);

}

And this is what my logcat shows

04-20 07:29:01.647: E/AndroidRuntime(31465): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.SEND flg=0x1 (has clip) (has extras) }

You need to change HomeActivity to TranslateActivity

try {
   Intent intent = new Intent();
   intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
   intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "hello");
   intent.putExtra("key_text_input", "hello");
   intent.putExtra("key_text_output", "");
   intent.putExtra("key_language_from", "en");
   intent.putExtra("key_language_to", "mal");
   intent.putExtra("key_suggest_translation", "");
   intent.putExtra("key_from_floating_window", false);
   intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(
        "com.google.android.apps.translate",
        //Change is here 
        //"com.google.android.apps.translate.HomeActivity")); 
        "com.google.android.apps.translate.TranslateActivity"));
   startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    Toast.makeText(getApplication(), "Sorry, No Google Translation Installed",
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
