How to start new activity using startActivity(intent) in Custom RecyclerView Adapter?

Question

I am having a CustomRecyclerViewAdapter.class file in which I have implemented the below method.

public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerViewHolder viewHolder, int position)
{
    viewHolder.title.setText(mData.get(position).text);
    //viewHolder.icon.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor(mData.get(position).color));

    viewHolder.setClickListener(new RecyclerViewHolder.ClickListener(){

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v, int position, boolean isLongClick) {

            if (isLongClick) {
                // View v at position pos is long-clicked.
                Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), "Hey you just hit item" + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();


            }else {
                // View v at position pos is clicked.
                //how to start a new activity here
                Toast.makeText(v.getContext(),"Hey you just hit item" + position,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }


        }
    });

}

So how i can start the new activity in the else block above.

Group.class

public class Group extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);//line no. 16 which is indicated in logcat
        setContentView(R.layout.group);

        getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

}

This is my error logcat.....

Thanks for your time.

You can use any View to it. getContext() method provides almost activity methods because Activity extends Context.

v.getContext().startActivity(intent);
