Crash when switching to ListView?

I have a normal LinearLayout for my main.xml , and my second activity is a ListView . I have a button on main.xml that should take me to the ListView . I get an Unexpected Error message and have to force close when I press the button.

Main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout

    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:orientation="vertical"

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

    android:weightSum="1"

    android:background="@drawable/forzabg">



        <ImageView

            android:id="@+id/mainlogo"

            android:layout_width="210dp"

            android:layout_height="119dp"

            android:layout_gravity="center"

            android:layout_weight="0.00"

            android:scaleType="fitXY"

            android:src="@drawable/forzalogo" >



 </ImageView>



        <ImageView

            android:id="@+id/menuButton1"

            android:layout_width="185dp"

            android:layout_height="56dp"

            android:layout_gravity="center"

            android:layout_weight="0.14"

            android:src="@drawable/carslist" />



 />



</LinearLayout>

Java for main.xml:

package com.forza;



import android.app.Activity;

import android.content.Intent;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.view.View;

import android.widget.ImageView;



public class Forza2Activity extends Activity {

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */

    @Override

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.main);



        ImageView carbutton = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.menuButton1);



        carbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View view) {

                Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), CarList.class);

                startActivity(myIntent);

            }

        });



    }

}

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

        android:layout_width="fill_parent"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:entries="@array/Brands" >

    </ListView>



</LinearLayout>

                    Intent intent = new Intent();

                    setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);

                    finish();

                };

          });       

       }

    }

Is it even possible to go from a regular view to a ListView?
