Question

I am making an android application and i am confused in this section of the code. I am integrating bluetooth and making a call to startApp in the previous class. I want to show these buttons on the main page when startApp is called. From my understanding This is how I would go about doing this? Why Can’t I do this? When i try to do this, eclipse doesn’t let me. How would i change the code so that i could set up the main menu start page like shown below?

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Instead of:

Intent b = new Intent(this, Detailed_ModeActivity.class);

Try this:

Intent b = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Detailed_ModeActivity.class);
