Kotlin: open new Activity inside of a Fragment

Question

How can I open a new Activity inside of a fragment when using a button?

I tried this

override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)

    LogOut_btn.setOnClickListener {
        //FirebaseAuth.getInstance().signOut()
        val intent = Intent (this, Main::class.java)
        startActivity(intent)            
    }
}

val intent = Intent doesn't seem to work in a fragment.

Any idea how I can start a new activity inside a fragment?

Answer 1

Because Fragment is NOT of Context type, you'll need to call the parent Activity:

 val intent = Intent (getActivity(), Main::class.java)
 getActivity().startActivity(intent)

or maybe something like

activity?.let{
    val intent = Intent (it, Main::class.java)
    it.startActivity(intent)
}
