I’m working with Android and I have one menu option, I want that option to start a new activity when I tapped it, but when I try to implement the start activity I always got a force close here are my code :

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
    switch (item.getItemId()) 
    {
        case R.id.tentang :
            startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), about.class));
            finish();
            return true;
        default : 
            return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
    }
}

do you have any idea to fix it?

EDIT : Some people in this forum asked me to show my logcat, and here it is :

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

    //Toast.makeText(this, "You pressed the icon!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
    startActivity(i);

    return true;
}
