Question

I have a menu and would like to open a new Activity when the user clicks on the menu item:

@Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle item selection
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.add_symbol:
           System.out.println("ADD SYMBOL CLICKED!");
           Intent myIntent = new Intent(this.getContext(), AddStocksActivity.class);
           startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);
            return true;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }
    }

I’m not sure how to create my Intent properly

Compiler Error:

The method getContext() is undefined for the type Main

Answer 1

Since Main extends Activity (which extends Context), you can do:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, AddStocksActivity.class)
