Answer 1

Just guessing since I can't see the rest of your code, but try:

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

Answer 2

If this code is inside an activity's method, just pass this as the first parameter.

Answer 3

Try this:

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