How to open a second activity on click of button in android app
AndroidAndroid IntentAndroid ActivityAndroid Problem Overview
I am learning to build android applications and I need some specific help. I can't seem to get my head around which bits of template code I am required to change, and which bits are static.
In the LAYOUT folder I have my ACTIVITY_MAIN.XML which reads
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/main_buttons_photos" />
</LinearLayout>
Next, I have my second activity ACTIVITY_SEND_PHOTOS.XML which is
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="@string/hello_world"
tools:context=".SendPhotos" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="@string/title_activity_send_photos"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</RelativeLayout>
I then have my MainActivity.java (is this the .class?) this reads package com.example.assent.bc;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
/** Called when the user clicks the Send button */
public void sendMessage(View view) {
// Do something in response to button
}
}
and then my SendPhotos.java file which is;
package com.example.assent.bc;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils;
public class SendPhotos extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_send_photos);
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_send_photos, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
I would like the button in my main activity to link through to my sendphotos activity, simply opening up that activity, nothing fancy, not sending any data or anything.
I know that somewhere I need my
Intent i = new Intent(FromActivity.this, ToActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
but I have no idea what to replace ToActivity.class with or what else I need where.

You can move to desired activity on button click. just add this line.
android:onClick="sendMessage"
xml:
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="sendMessage"
android:text="@string/button" />
In your main activity just add this method:
public void sendMessage(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(FromActivity.this, ToActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
And the most important thing: don't forget to define your activity in manifest.xml
<activity>
android:name=".ToActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
</activity>
Solution 2 - Android
Try this
Button button;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
button=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),SendPhotos.class);
startActivity(i);
}
});
}
Solution 3 - Android
From Activity : where you are currently ?
To Activity : where you want to go ?
Intent i = new Intent( MainActivity.this, SendPhotos.class); startActivity(i);
Both Activity must be included in manifest file otherwise it will not found the class file and throw Force close.
Edit your Mainactivity.java
crate button's object;
now Write code for click event.
Button btn = (button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn.LoginButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
//put your intent code here
}
});
Hope it will work for you.
Solution 4 - Android
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity2.class);
MainActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
The answer for the complete noob from a complete noob:
MainActivity
is the name of the first activity.
MainActivity2
is the name of the second activity.
button1
is the I.D of the button in xml for MainActivity
Activity.
Solution 5 - Android
just follow this step (i am not writing code just Bcoz you may do copy and paste and cant learn)..
-
first at all you need to declare a button which you have in layout
-
Give reference to that button by finding its id (using findviewById) in oncreate
-
setlistener for button (like setonclick listener)
-
last handle the click event (means start new activity by using intent as you know already)
-
Dont forget to add activity in manifest file
BTW this is just simple i would like to suggest you that just start from simple tutorials available on net will be better for you..
Best luck for Android
Solution 6 - Android
Replace the below line code:
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
Button button;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
button=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
if(v.getId==R.id.button1){
Intent i = new Intent(FromActivity.this, ToActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
}
}
}
Add the below lines in your manifest file:
<activity android:name="com.packagename.FromActivity"></activity>
<activity android:name="com.packagename.ToActivity"></activity>
Solution 7 - Android
Replace your MainActivity.class with these code
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button b1;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
b1=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
b1.setOnClickListener(new View.onClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
Intent i=new Intent(getApplicationContext(),SendPhotos.class);
startActivity(i);
}
}
)
}
Add these Code in your AndroidManifest.xml
after the </activity>
and Before </application>
<activity android:name=".SendPhotos"></activity>
Solution 8 - Android
This always works, either one should be just fine:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick (View v) {
startActivity(new Intent("com.tobidae.Activity1"));
}
//** OR you can just use the one down here instead, both work either way
@Override
public void onClick (View v){
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ChemistryActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
}
}
}
Solution 9 - Android
add below code to activity_main.xml file:
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="buttonClick"
android:text="@string/button" />
and just add the below method to the MainActivity.java file:
public void buttonClick(View view){
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext()SendPhotos.class);
startActivity(i);
}
Solution 10 - Android
If you have two buttons and have the same id call to your button click events like this:
Button btn1;
Button btn2;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn1= (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent=new Intent(MainActivity.this,target.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
btn2=(Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);//Have same id call previous button---> button1
btn2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
}
});
When you clicked button1
, button2
will work and you cannot open your second activity.
Solution 11 - Android
<Button
android:id="@+id/btnSignIn"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:background="@drawable/circal"
android:text="Sign in"
android:textColor="@color/white"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/etPasswordLogin" />
IN JAVA CODE
Button signIn= (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSignIn);
signIn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new Intent(SignInPage.this,MainActivity.class));
}
});
}
Solution 12 - Android
You can move to desired activity on button click. just add
android:onClick="timerApp"this line.
xml:
<Button
android:id="@+id/timer_app"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="timerApp"
android:text="Click To run Timer Activity" />
In your main activity just add this method:
public void timerApp(View view){
Intent intent= new Intent(MainActivity.this,TimerActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
OR in onCreate() method add below code
Button btn =findViewById(R.id.timer_app);//Don't need to type casting in android studio 3
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, TimerActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
