Creating a new record with giving record type

Question

I want to create a new record on click of button by giving its record type.

please find the code below

public pageReference Test()
    {
       RecordType rt =[SELECT ID, name FROM RecordType WHERE SObjectType = 'App__c' and name='Test_Contact'];

      this.ap.Client__c = account.Id;
      this.ap.RecordTypeId =rt.Id;
      insert (this.ap);


        pageReference pageRef = new pageReference('/oaoa/TestForm');
        pageRef.setRedirect(true);
        pageRef.getParameters().put('id',ap.id);

       return pageRef;

    }  

I am getting error as List has no rows for assignment to SObject Rt is not returning any value

Well, maybe the query really doesn't return anything?

What does SELECT ID, name FROM RecordType WHERE SObjectType = 'App__c' return?

Is the name really 'Test_Contact'? Look at your config and try with 'Test Contact'. Even better - query by API name of the rec. type (less likely to be translated to French for example ;)):

WHERE SObjectType = 'App__c' and DeveloperName = 'Test_Contact'
