Question

I have a function for opening a new activity, but I wan’t to use a string for that. My function is shown below. I think my question is clear if you see that.

public boolean showScreen(String screen) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, screen.class);
    startActivity(intent);
    return true;
}

EDIT:// The error is gone if I use try and catch. My system works fine now.

Answer 1

You should use Class.forName(String s) to get the Class for the specific string.

Code:

public boolean showScreen(String screen) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, Class.forName(screen));
    startActivity(intent);
    return true;
}

Hope this helps!
