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?

Add this line to your AndroidManifest.xml:
ReplyDelete<activity android:name=".OrderScreen" />
The issue was the OrderScreen activity wasn't added to the AndroidManifest.xml. Once I added that as an application node, it worked properly.
ReplyDeleteyou can use the context of the view that did the calling.
ReplyDeleteExample:
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);
}
});
add your OrderScreen activity in manifest.file

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