Using Intent in an Android application to show ano

Question

In my Android application, I have two activity classes. I have a button on the first one and I want to show the second when it is clicked, but I get an error. Here are the classes:

public class FirstActivity extends Activity {

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Button orderButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.order);

    orderButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

      @Override
      public void onClick(View view) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, OrderScreen.class);
        startActivity(intent);
      }

    });
  }
}

The second class that should show when the button is clicked, but never does:

public class OrderScreen extends Activity {

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.order);

    Button orderButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.end);

    orderButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

      @Override
      public void onClick(View view) {
        finish();
      }

    });
  }
}

How do I create a button that will show the second activity?

b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.click_me);
        b1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
                startActivity(i);

        });

Answer 2

When you create any activity in android file you have to specify it in AndroidManifest.xml like

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <activity
        android:name=".MyCreativityActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>


     <activity android:name=".OrderScreen"></activity>


</application>

Answer 3

you can use the context of the view that did the calling. Example:

Button orderButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.order);

orderButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

  @Override
  public void onClick(View view) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(/*FirstActivity.this*/ view.getContext(), OrderScreen.class);
    startActivity(intent);
  }

});

Answer 4

Intent i = new Intent("com.Android.SubActivity");
startActivity(i);

Answer 5

Add this line to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity android:name=".OrderScreen" />
