Question

I am making a Class object in order to start a new activity. But the problem is when I type

Class ourclass = new Class.__

It doesn’t recognise the Class and I can’t use the methods of the super class “Class”. It says class is a raw type. What type should I assign it to, because I want to use “forName()” method in which I want to pass a class name.
Here is the code

    protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    try
    {
        Class ourclass =Class.__ // The suggestions for static functions doesn't popup, and I get errors
        //Intent myintent = new Intent();
    }
    catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}
}

Regards.

Class.forName is a static method – you don’t call it on an instance:

Class<?> ourClass = Class.forName("foo.bar.Baz");

(Whether this is actually appropriate or not when starting an activity is a different matter, but this answer just addresses the Class.forName part…)
