Question

I have created a class which extends Gallery. There is no onCreate() method in super Class, and I’m unable to run my intent.
This is my sample code:

 this.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

 @Override
 public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id) {
 Intent intent = new Intent(v.getContext(), ClassName.class);
 startActivity(intent);
}}

The following attempt also failed to work:

Intent intent = new Intent(ThisClassName.this, ClassName.class);
startActivity(intent);

Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Answer 1

Actually, startActivity(); is the method of Activity class, To run this method you have to Context of Activity or Reference of Activity , You can not run this method in other class as outside of Activity scope without having Activity reference for it.

Try,

<Activity_Name>.this.startActivity(intent);

or

mContext.startActivity(intent);

Here mContext is reference of your Activity class.
