Here is my Main Activity:

        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 20000, 1,

public void onClick(View v, Location location) {
    switch (v.getId()) {
    case R.id.btnGetStarted:

        double longitude = location.getLongitude();
        double latitude = location.getLatitude();

        Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,

        startActivity(intent);
        break;
    }

}

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
}

and here is my activity_main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<ImageView

    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_marginTop="40dp"
    android:text="@string/get_started"
    android:onClick="onClick" />

and my map fragment xml

package com.VaSuRa.sugboways;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MapFragmentActivity extends Activity {

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);

    Intent i = getIntent();
}
}

and lastly my activity_map.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    tools:layout="@layout/activity_main" />

In your MainActivity class definition you have:

public abstract class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener,

So, you are defining MainActivity as an abstract class but java documentation says:

Abstract classes cannot be instantiated, but they can be subclassed.

and since the error you are getting is precisely: 

InstantiationException: can't instantiate class MainActivity

You have have to remove 'abstract' from MainActivity class definition.
