Description:

I created View where i had drawn rectangle using canvas and also implemented On Touch Event in that View.

I want that touch to launch new activity.

Problem:

Now the problem is whenever i touch that rectangle “Force Close” error is popping up.

Here is the PickCardView.java

  public class PickCardView extends View
    {   
    private Paint mCanvasPaint;

    private Rect mScreenSize = new Rect();

    private Rect mCardSize = new Rect();
    private int mCardCap;

    private Card MCards;

    public PickCardView(Context context) 
    {
        super(context);

        mCanvasPaint = new Paint();
        mCanvasPaint.setColor(0xFF228B22); // Green background
        mCanvasPaint.setAntiAlias(false);
        mCanvasPaint.setFilterBitmap(false);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) 
    {
        super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);

        // Store current screen size
        mScreenSize.set(0, 0, w, h);

        // Calculate card and decks sizes and positions
        int cw = w / 11;
        mCardSize.set(0, 0, cw, (int) (cw * 1.5));
        Log.v("card size", mCardSize.toString());

        int freeSize = w - cw * 7; //117
        mCardCap = freeSize / (6 + 4 * 2);//5

        int cy = (int) (mScreenSize.height() * 0.35);

        //MIDDLE CARD HOLDER
        MCards = new Card(Card.CardType.PickDeck, mCardCap * 2 + mCardSize.width()*4 - 15, cy - 20, mCardSize.width()+60, mCardSize.height()+60);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) 
    {
        mCanvasPaint.setStyle(Style.FILL);
        canvas.drawRect(mScreenSize, mCanvasPaint);

        MCards.doDraw(canvas);     
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
    {
        int action = event.getAction();

        if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) 
        {
            int x = (int) event.getX();
            int y = (int) event.getY();

            Card card = getCardUnderTouch(x, y);

            if(card != null)
            {
                Intent i = new Intent(null, BuildWord.class);  
                startActivity(i);
            }
        }

        return true;
    }

    private void startActivity(Intent i) 
    {
        //Intent i1 = new Intent(null, BuildWord.class);        
    }

    private Card getCardUnderTouch(int x, int y) 
    {
        Card ret = null;

        if (MCards.isUnderTouch(x, y)) 
        {
            return MCards;
        }

        return ret;
    }
}

This is error shown in logcat when i touch that rectangle:

Change onTouchEvent to

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
{
int action = event.getAction();

if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) 
{
    int x = (int) event.getX();
    int y = (int) event.getY();

    Card card = getCardUnderTouch(x, y);

    if(card != null)
    {
        Context context = getContext();
        Intent i = new Intent(context, BuildWord.class);  
        context.startActivity(i);
    }
}

return true;
}

remove your startActivity method as well
