Question

final Button OptButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.OptButton);
        OptButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent OptionsSc = new Intent(this, OptionsActivity.class);
                startActivity (OptionsSc);
            }
        });

Eclipse keeps underlining the new Intent(this, OptionsActivity.class); part and I don’t get why. Previously this call to the OptionsActivity was assigned to the hardware Search button and everything worked fine.

Answer 1

In your case this doesn’t refer to a valid Context(like when you use this in an Activity), instead it refers to the anonymous inner class OnCLickListener class(where is the onClick method declare). Instead you should use:

Intent OptionsSc = new Intent(YourActivityName.this, OptionsActivity.class);
