I am trying to do the same as the question in here.

However, following the 2nd option of the 1st answer gives me a null pointer exception. Basically it does not work. What am I missing. Below are my code files.

Thank you very much in advance.

Try something like this :

 public void onSelectedItem(MenuItem item, Context con){
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setClass(con, NewUserAccount.class);
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        con.startActivity(intent);
        this.finish();      
     }
