Android, Calling Activity within itself

Question

I am trying to make an app which have 2 main controls (along with other info fields) 1.> Next button 2.> Done button

I want to call the same activity when next button is pressed and display some other activity when Done button is pressed

Done button is working fine. But when I press Next button the app stops working. The error that I get is : Unfortunately, myapp has stopped working

This is the same error which I usually get when I don't define activity in manifest file. Can anyone please help me with this problem.

And finally Is is legitimate to call same activity within itself ?

Thanks

Answer 1

I think this should work

Intent i= new Intent(ActivityA.this,ActivityA.class);

Answer 2

You can use Intent flags to call the activity again. In the button click

setContentView(R.layout.main);
Intent intent= new Intent(this,SameClass.class); 
startActivity(intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT));
