Those are different component names. Unless "MainBarf" is truly a class at the top-level name-space, you probably meant to use the same name as in the first one.
Also you should very very extremely ever write out a component name like the second one, where you explicitly specify the package and class names. If nothing else, this is very fragile, since you are putting implementation details into your code. If you are trying to make an Intent to reference something in another package, it is best to use this as a generic Intent that the package manager will find an implementation for; the only reason to hard-code a component name is if you have things separated in two different packages, but don't want to allow any others to provide their own functionality for them. And if this is a component in your own class, just use new ComponentInfo(getContext, MainBarf.class).
